I thought you guys may enjoy this video. The heli is a 1974 Du-Bro Hughes 300. Looks like it's a fixed pitched heli. Our hobby has come along way in 34 years, but that is a pretty good flying heli!

That reminds me of this old guy that Junkpilot own. It is apparently the very first electric and has a "belt" driven tail. He offered for me to try and get it running again but it needs more skills than I possess. Some machining skills would help too. I think he said it was late 1960s heli but I am not positive.

I love the "Old days" it was so obscure, so underground, very exclusive. I think tutelar-rc has an oldie but goodie "old sckool" heli.

Great video.

I liked it that the gyro issue was left in.

It looked tail heavy at the end. I wonder if it was a fuel thing?

Again, very cool.

The Russian Vid was from the early 90's

This one is early 80's.

Funny, that the older one looks WAAY newer.

Yeah, Your right I don't know why that russian VID looks so old-- it looks like its from the 60's, but it along with the music adds to the FREAKYNESS of it !!

Once in a while, I watch it again.

I especially like it when the guy in suspenders bends his main shaft and tries to fly it that way.

Silly.

anybody that has owned a BLADE CP knows that a straight main shaft is WAY overrated
