Vintage RC Helicopters - WIK - European RC Helicopter manufacturer

  WIK

The first scale model of the Bolkow Bo105 utilised the mechanics from the Schlüter Cobra and there is a bit of history to this.  Produced by a former partner of Dieter Schluter, when Schuco-Hegi pulled out it left everything in a mess and it is hinted that a number of fixed pitch mechanics assemblies were made and not paid for.  There appears to have been an agreement that the mechanics could be used as long as it was NOT in one of Dieters fuselages; the result the Bolkow Bo105.
