Personal video from Mr. Dieter Schlüter's personal archive, uploaded with his permission.
Rare footage of the development of the radio control helicopter, showing the "Father of RC Helicopters" in his quest to invent the first mass produced model "Bell Huey Cobra". Many of his inventions are design standards today, including:
- stabilizer bar with paddles (control wings)
- pod and boom design
- belt driven tail
- one piece hingeless centrifugal clutch
- raising/lowering the swashplate for collective pitch
For more detailed information, please visit Mr. Schlüter's web page at: dieterschlueter.de/

Make sure you see Ch2 for more great footage!

Lots of these clips look like a very creative way to win a Darwin Award! Back in the late 70's I flew a Schluter MiniBoy with no gyro. It was a hand full. I still have that machine.

🙀Bei den ganzen Köpfen auf Rotorhöhe kann man ja froh sein, dass jemand überlebt hat um uns die Geschichte zu erzählen

I met Dieter in 1977. He was over in the U.S. showing off his twin rotor Chinook RC Heli. Stormy's right, the DuBro's were impossible to fly but the Schluter's could be flown with about 20 hours practice. What we wouldn' t have given back then for a gyro!

I feel bad for the "training gear" on that decade. But thx, you guys are history maker!

Just crazy!!! Just to think... NO Gyros, No 4-1's... Nothing... Transmitters that had sliders instead of sticks. It's amazing how people were actually able to fly those things.

Wunderbar zum zusehen. Danke fürs hochladen! Wieviele Fingeramputationen und Fleischwunden in den Beinen hatten die wohl zu beklagen?

The guy with the pole might have deserved recognition for the development of medicine trauma :-)

No gyro yaw was wild. Bring back no gyro flight sessions. I had a great time flying a perfect gear ratio AIR HOGS throttle only chopper. I could fly it in lines, triangles, squares, and land it, no crashes, but strictly hand launch, with throttle blips. Was great $20 investment, flew it to shreds, but saved the main and tail rotors, very great crash forgiving design.

I wish this were narrated in English.

@Fred001D01 The old heli's seen in the video were basically unflyable. The designers had zero flying practice for the most part and couldn't perfect their machines. Think about it - Which came first; The pilot or the heli? Today's models are extremely 'easy' to fly as evidenced by the number of models in production and the many video clips here on youtube. "We've" come a long, long way!
