Brought out in 19## as a more practical size scale model utilising plastic parts thus giving it a respectable 'scale' look.  Modified 'Shuttle' mechanics were used and it was fitted with an upgraded NS rotor head.

To enhance the scale appearance a three blade could be supplied as an upgrade.

Smaller version brought out with Contra-rotating blades and originally powered through an umbilical cord which limited its use to basic hovering and gentle manoeuvres.  Upgraded to radio control and then was capable of full unrestricted 'free' flight.
