RC Helicopter History - 1974

Still the very early years of RC Helicopters with many 'first' being achieved.

Micro-Mold Lark

Designed by Peter Valentine.

First Helicopter in Australia

Letter from Colin of Queensland. Australia

This is my MM lark which was given to me for safe keeping and I have to keep it running for as long as I can then pass it on to some body else when I am no longer able to fly it.  This was the FIRST R/C HELICOPTER bought into AUSTRALIA so one could say its priceless.  It was purchased in 1974 and the serial  # in the manual is LA 002202.  It is a Mk1 Lark with the open gear box and though the airframe is original it has been updated over the years.  A 153bb gyro was fitted followed by the original engine being changed to an OS 30.  The radio set used is a Futaba Gold FG-7FGH.  I'm the 4th owner of this helicopter as the original owner past away several years ago and that's why it gets handed on.
