Hi Rowan,

It must be a very small kit! A couple of weeks ago I've seen something about it on TV. Someone in Germany (where else) is currently building a 1:1 scale replica which is meant to fly... with the help of a car because there's no engine on this tiny helicopter!

Hi Rowan, It must be a very small kit!... Jean-Luc


Hi Jean-Luc

Hopefully, I might find out next week. I've ordered one from Modelimex and Petr sent it the day before yesterday.

All the best

Rowan
