K. Dave Herbert thought that learning to fly a model helicopter would be easier if the tail rotor was taken out of consideration. A great deal of research proved this to be true, and resulted in the Hyperfly, a kit designed by Herbert and manufactured by Kyosho.
One of the original production kits as well as a fully-assembled model were recently donated to the museum by K. Dave Herbert. Thank you Dave for helping grown the museum’s collection!
