First group of three Dolphins
Second group of the three
groups (total : 9 Dolphins fly-by, it was noisy)
Formation fly-by.
Note: 3 more helis at
the bottom right corner



My first heli: Humming 20 from 1978
 
 

Fix pitch. Used Fuji 25 engine. No cooling fan. Used hugh heat sink to cool the engine down. Wood frame with alumimum tail boom & skid. Tail rotor, tail fins were made of balsa wood. No indication in manual on the pitch angle, just twist the nylon block on rotor header to whatever you feel comfortable with. Tail gear was exposed - to dust and everything. Note the air foil, it used flat bottom airfoil.

Logitec & GWS micro

was the standard size servo
See how big it was,
& heavy too

JR heli radio from 78-79 for the Humming 20
 
 

This all metal helicopter radio was from JR back in 78-79. It didn't have any dual rate, mixing or servo reverse. It was on 27MHz FM (an advance feature at that time). The top of the radio has 4 special knobs for the ATS system and a switch to turn the system on/off. The knobs control the response of the rudder servo with respect to the rate of change of the throttle. How fast the rudder response and the magnitude of the defection of the rudder servo - all done on the trasmitter (without micro processor/computer), no gyro.
The gimbal stick.

Touch and go on
the surface of a
pond by a high wing
with wheels.
Well, it touchs the water
surface, come to a stop
instantly and floats instead.
