Hey guys I picked up this junk heli and was wondering if anyone knows what it is and if it's worth trying to get flying. Can parts be had etc.
It appears that at some point someone decided it was because it has all new (I think) electronics and a unrun ASP .46 engine.
I know nothing about helis but this one appears to be old and has rudimentry control linkages. To me anyways !
The "slab" construction of the main body looks odd to me. It has a JR 730A Gyro System and a R600 Jr receiver with standard JR servos.

Looks scrach built ??

looks like an old one made by diter schulter to me. cant remember the model. but yep its a old one. its good for a mantel piece thats about it.

I would use the elects in a more modern heli It apears to be very unsave to fly Engine will need a heli exhaust and use a digital servo on the tail

Looks like a Schulter to me... More often than not old unidentified helis like this one turn out to be a Schulter. Something to do with the basic tray in front and box frame gives it away --- of course I'm not an expert but that is my guess. Post it on RunRyder and see what they say!

Dang that was quick ! I may have to find a .40 plane I like to put the parts in then. I still have a old many times rebuilt Great Planes Ugly Stick around here somewhere.
Thing is, I like small planes well enough but I like to put 4-strokes in them. Even have a few of those laying around. Don't know what I would do with a .46 ASP.

Who knows what to do with an ASP... I can tell you for sure though that even I would not fly that ancient heli, it's just flatout dangerous and I'd hate to see someone get hurt with that piece of junk

So ya think the gyro system is modern enough to use in another heli ?

IMACmike · 04-28-2008, 07:55 PM

mavacpjm71 · 04-28-2008, 08:59 PM

Thought it might be an Excel Cobra but no collective....could be a schluter....hard to tell, all i know is it looks 80s.....

whirlyspud · 04-28-2008, 10:26 PM

It looks to me like parts from a GMP cricket placed on a home built set of frames. I would think it IS GMP of some sort. No way is it an old Schluter. Post a picture of the tail gearbox if you can. HA...WHILE EDITING THIS POST IT CAME TO ME.....GMP REBEL IS WHAT THEY CALLED THIS ONE. It was kind of an updated cricket.

The "frame" is nothing but a 1/8 th in. piece of flat metal with everything else bolted to it !
