I have this exact same model helicopter. Bought in 1984. I still have it and it's still flyable!

The pilot really knows how to fly this helicopter! 👍🏼👍🏼

Listen to that nylon gear mesh, what memories!

Man I really like the stable flight of this...powerful too!

This is the exact model my dad used to fly when I was very young. The sound of it brings back so I many memories of going to the park to watch him fly his. Good times. 😄

This heli was the best trainer of its day, being more robust than the fragile Hirobo 707. When I tipped mine over all I needed to do was wipe the mud off the blade tips. Friends with the 707 needed a hundred pounds worth of bits after a tip over, a lot of money in 1980. I did my first tentative circuits with mine over forty years ago.

Lovely to see gentle flights with this classic Baron. Flies really nicely. Mechanical gyro is still working great.

We're so fortunate to have what we have today because of forerunners like this classic design. Thanks for sharing!

I have an original Cricket from the early 1980's. My first helicopter. I used to have the Whirlybird if anyone remember that thing...

I had one of those back in the day and had a 60 glow engine in it!

Niiiice! ... I just love the way all the birds from that era were built

That's pretty slick I got a Thunder Tiger Raptor 50 in a hirobo 30 shuttle v2 both run

Thanks for posting this, I helped my cousin build one of these in early 80s pre gyro. Came with stabilizing skid accessory to help you learn. Never did manage to fly it without crash landing. My cousin Nick did and went on to fly Enstrom F28 as a PPL with me as occasional passenger.

My stuff is mint. 1995 JR Pcm 10-sx H. And still working. On channel 38 and 49.

this is awsome! it flies better than a lot of todays helis as far as stability! thanks!

Thanks for posting the video, it brought back memories. It was the Kalt Baron RC Helicopter that was my first attempt at flying a RC heli. At the time though we didn't have gyros yet. So flying typically resulted in crashing it. I must have repaired that heli a 100 times trying to fly it. Your heli flew really great too.

this was hiller only, no bell mixing. the collective was a work of genius. i had one around 1980, it flew great,,,,,,,,,,,,no gyro and a standard FW motor. the U/C had rubber cushes. A shame Kalt are no more.

That is a very nice helicopter, it sounds great. Os50 engine. What a lovely r.c. Thanks for showing this great copter.

Super Cool!

I have test flown my friends Kalt Baron .60 in very strong winds, and must say that they are still very nice helicopters to have and fly. Nice video Thank you for sharing. 5*

ive always heard of the old rc choppers... didnt think they were so stable. very nice

Nice vintage Chopper. Surprisingly smooth and stable.

Definitely don't miss those belt starts!

I have Baron 20 somewhere in basement, engine hasn't run in 30 years. I believe that pinging sound comes from the clutch hitting on metal bell.

Wow it looks really good, none of that flashy colours and design of modern rc helis

Oh yeah I have a 1981 kalt bell 222 twin very nice needs radio nice video man and kalt is the best!!!!

Still flies well. I used to have a Kavan Bell Jet Ranger. It wasn't started with a belt by the side, but under the fuselage with the tip of the starter (exactly like yours but yellow). This belt starting method was used for boat engines only, not for helicopters because if you accidentally forgot to toggle down the acceleration stick on the transmitter, or it is left to mid or high position, there is no way of stopping the engine that engaged the clutch and spin the blades out of control, cutting and injuring your legs. Starting an engine with the starter tip pressed on the engine shaft cone while holding the rotor head at the same time, if the acceleration stick is accidentally touched or forgot to set it back to off and the engine fires on high speed, at least you can hold the rotor head to stop it from spinning out of control and take immediate action, check the stick or pull out the fuel tube from the engine to cut it out. Starting an engine with a belt as shown in this video, if the engine fires at high speed, you're history. Fuel engines in my helicopters of my days always had a pull-out fuel tube next to the carburetor. Without fuel, the engine stops. In those days, helicopters were quite fun to fly but they were also quite risky too.

Thanks for the detailed explanations - it always great to see how r/c technology has developed since my childhood in the late 70s and early 80s! But, as far as I remember, rotor blades were made from plastics even in the 80s!

A Kalt Baron is good to teach a budding helicopter pilot.

This Model was my first too. Brings me good remories. Thanks for uploading.

My childhood looking at RC Modeler just hit

Love it, nice video and good to see old machine flying.

I've still got a few parts for it but I traded mine for a 30 size helicopter!

Kalt made great helicopters.

An elegant 'copter for a more civilised age.

I flew the 60 size, love it!

Great chopper the Kalt. I miss them. lol

@MDSCUSTOMS That is great 26 years. Incredible. I also have a Morley Bell 47g . It must be over 20 years old now.

Great piloting skills!

Perfetto!

I learned to hover with one of these around 1980, no giro. Note the rubber cushes between the U/C and the main frame.

"Whats that noise!" Its the clutch.

Cool.

I bought a kalt baron 30 10 years ago, one of these days i am going to fligh it.

Very Nice video, thank you for shaering it, 10 minutes of remembers. Thank you. 5 stars.

Really superb heli..... I love rc heli

I got very lucky and found this kalt 50 for sale here in Ohio yesterday..160$ with an OS 50 in it! :) no hangar rash even... I’m doubting it was ever flown.. hovered.. maybe
