Scale Heli Baby

Hi all,

Does anyone on this forum have a Heli Baby? I was just reading about the 40th anniversary edition.
Looks like it would be a lot of fun.


Cheers,

I like the look and sound of that bird. Pretty cool.

No I had never heard of it, but I have found a link to the manual for the 40th anniversary addition, I wonder what it's worth?

I found this website; Heli-Baby - The Homepage
You used to be able to buy it at a website called Peak Aircraft. It doesn't look like they carry the kit anymore.

I found parts for the Heli Baby at Peak Aircraft but no kit.

that thing looks big like a 550 or bigger! It also looks like a no bar setup. Very tough to fly if thats the case. Awesome find.

Thanks guys for the information. I have that magazine, lots of great information in there.
It looks like the only place to buy the kit is at the Minicopter website. The price is in Euros which makes it very pricey in
Canadian dollars.
