Very nice video of this Hirobo classic helo! I have the Hirobo Shuttle that i bought in Hong Kong in 1989 on West Pac Navy deployment & the Hirobo Shuttle ZX that i bought in 1991, also in Hong Kong comming home from Operation Desert Storm deployment! 6 hours on the 1st Shuttle just trying to learn how to hover & absolutly 0 flight time on the Shuttle ZX! It sits on top of my computer shelf still in prestine condition as it came out of the box 32 yrs ago. I had to fully assemble that one! The 1st Shuttle was pre-assembled with the O.S. .028 engine! Thankya for sharing your video😃👍🏻

Thanks for watching. I also have an early Shuttle. It's the green one and it's hanging up in my cave waiting to be restored - one day.

@DavidJones-ny1xv yes, the 1st hirobo shuttle I have was originally green, but had to replace the fuselage canopy & the both the orizontal & vertical fins all due to a crash! everything is now white!

Nice to meet you🇯🇵Good evening from Japan. It's a radio-controlled helicopter before I was born. This is the first time I've seen a Falcon video. The belt engine is starting! My father was also practicing helicopters using Falcon and 40 Baron (fixed pitch). Thank you for the wonderful video😊 I will register the video on the playlist I made.

Hopefuly you can find somebody at a local club that can help with the TX programming. I use these battery flight packs, mainly because they are available in Australia and the four cells suit the older electronics that I use: www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/9799/4/bk-3mcce-flt-jr.html

I have fond memories from the very early 1980s as I saw such helicopters hanging in the roof for display. Our my toy/hobby store at home / Sweden. Beleive they were mighty expensive and it was said they were difficult to fly. Only masters could pull it off.

@DavidJones-ny1xv Жыл бұрын

Being a JR Venture it would most likely be a glow engine (Nitro). Easiest way to tell is to take out the glow or spark plug and have a look. To be sure, take the heli to your local hobby shop or model airplane club and ask them.

It handles really well for my style of flying - old school sport/scale. It's currently my favorite flying heli, with or without floats. I guess it's just as Hirobo intended back in the day - nice and stable in the hover and tracks well in forward flight.

I have two of these little square head Pfeffer engines. One has a red head and spinner and the other is blue. They are new and unrun but with no original box. With its rough casting crankcase and twin machined exhaust pipes it is a delightful sight. It is getting harder to get the diesel fuel but in the UK you can buy Technics D1000 and D2000. Use the higher ether content D1000 on these smaller diesel engines.

Apart from this beautiful restoration, I'm also impressed you were able to reprogram an 636A. Was it from another heli or a plane previously?

@DavidJones-ny1xv Жыл бұрын

Thanks. The AR636A was from an Eflite carbon cub. They are quite easy to re-program, including getting rid of 'safe and panic' modes. Just need to re-flash the frimware to version 1.43 using the Spektrum USB programming cable and the Spektrum Programmer Software. I have done a couple of these receivers now.
