RE: help identify this heli
I believe it is called an "ARK"
Noahs Ark.
Id get the dust on it carbon dated, it may be from around that period.
Kidding aside youve got your work cut out for you there. It would be an interesting project getting something like that flying. Then again I like these modern helis. Even my 'GMP Cricket' 25 years ago was a handful to fly. No gyros, computer radios with expo, dual rate, ccpm etc.
Sorry to hear the unscrupulous LHS took your money for a radio then closed. That would have delayed you even further.
Good Luck.
