Anyone know anything about this mechanics kit made by Robbe? The kit number is 3875, its new in the box and just started building it with a star ranger fuselage and the recommended enya 60xh still in the box. I picked up this whole package from a local hobby shop. Can I still get parts for this set up? The mechanics look a lot like the vario stuff. It also looks exact to the heim 4682 or 4618 mechanics kit.

I hate when that happens

Hi,

I think robbe sold Heim mechs for a short time together with an Ecureuil (A-Star) fuse. It was never popular and Graupner sold the Uni Mech later, but many parts should be exchangable with other Heim helis.
I wouldn't fly it, the plastic parts are about 10-15 years old... get new blade grips at least.
If you want it as an antique ok, but I wouldn't fly it. It might be a really rare kit so don't destroy it!

I'm interested in pictures though, would be nice if you could take some!

Regards,

Andi

the robbe mechanics and that vintage heim mechanics are identical,some of the parts are still available from v-east.
robbe sold a kit called the avantegarde as well as the one mentioned in the earleir post.
i have 3 of those antiques and they are some kind of smooth , i have been away from helis for a while and am scared to fly them now , but as soon as i get a little confidence i will not hesitate to fly them again. quality stuff even if it is a bit old

Thanks guys...all the instructions are in German and makes it little rough trying to put this mechanics set and fuselage together. I know I should probably take great care of this model, but I want to fly it...

if it would help i have the english version of the star ranger assembly instructions ( not the greatest , leaves a lot to the imagination but better than nothing ) and i also have the robbe book on the avantgarde that is much better that will help out with the mechanics. if you want me to make copies and send them i'll be more than happy to
