This helicopter has been in our collection since before 1998. That’s all we know about it. Who donated it? Why? Where did it came from? What type of helicopter is it? The answers to these questions are a mystery. If you can help us solve this mystery, please contact Maria at mariav@modelaircraft.org
Update: Some helicopter gurus are discussing this over at the Runryder forum and think they might have a few answers. Join the discussion there!
Don’t quote me, & my advanced apologies if I’m wrong, but I think it might be a KALT Baron type airframe. I can’t tell what engine size. The KALT line was available exclusively through Circus Hobbies, Las Vegas, NV, 1980’s. I remember seeing their ad in RCM Modelller Magazine. If you guys know the answer, e-mail me please. It’s the ONLY way I’ll learn.
H! We actually still don’t know just what type of helicopter this is. This video shows a Kalt Baron RC heli: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-QUsTVJMxA and you are right, it does look very close to the one we have. Thank you!
