Question Old Schluter question

Hello All,

I'm just getting back into flying after 15 years or so off. I've been flying some airplanes and am thinking of getting my old helicopter back in the air. It's an old 60 size Schluter. I think the model is Champion. The issue I've run into is that I can't find my assembly / setup manual (or starter extension). I could probably guess and get the blade pitch settings in the neighborhood but I'd prefer to have the actual setup procedure with the numbers. Do any of you know where I might be able get a copy of the manual or have the information I need to set it up?

Thanks,

-Ethan

Apologies that so dirty. It's been sitting in the garage for 15 years or so.

Any collective pitch helicopter can be a safe bet to fly with -10 to +10 for a 3D setup, though I doubt that has that pitch range I'm not sure.

Otherwise a scale setup of -3 to +10 would certainly get it flying.

Thanks BarracudaHockey. That will get me started. Now I just need to track down some spare blades and a starter extension. I found a guy in Germany from another site (holzblaetter.de) that seems to have and be able to make replacement blades for old Schluters. I emailed him. Hopefully something comes out of that.
