Hirobo Shuttle Ecureuil 2 (1987)

 1987 catalogue photo.

The shuttle had proved to be a very good 'all round' helicopter, stable but with positive control; ideal scale flying qualities.  As a 'pod and boom' machine, the mechanics only required a few minor changes to be suitable for use in a 'hang-on' fuselage and so three models were brought out utilising these mechanics with recommended engine for scale use being the OS32.
