does it work? I wish my dad had a heli randomly laying around!

dont have the guts to start it

American R/C went out of business years ago when a full scale plane crashed into their factory. If you dont' want it send it to me I'll clean it up and stick it on a shelf for display.

that's... horrible! I'd go fix and fly it! you'll need to clean the cylinders though, and probably replace the o rings, you could probably find aftermarket parts on ebay, or some sites, and could probably find replacements using newer items as SOME engine will pobably use the same part. good luck on it, could I see some pics? also how old are you? because I'm not sure if ask your father first is approprate for you... well it IS and antique now. Someday I'll hopefully get my grandads gas airplane (it's a uh...oh man what do you call those thing they have cub in the name..., and they're usually yellow and black, it's not a biplane) it's at LEAST 20 years old, probably 40 or more.... anyways he has all the original airtronics equipment on it. I wish I could fly that thing, but, I can't fly a plane.

PS: are heli skills transferrable to planes?

I doubt you would find parts for that even on Ebay, I had one when I was an early teenager and I'll be 40 before new years.

when did the factory burn down? and was it a chinese plane that did it? if so shame of them to knock out their competition.

Cheatscalc, you're probably thinking of a Piper J3 cub?

Sounds like it from your description. Popular plane it is, lots of kits available for it .
