Hirobo Shuttle 30 ?? Can anyone identify thi one

[deebee]

I just bought this Hirobo .30 series it has a .32 engine w a hirobo muffler. It looks like late 80's early 90's vintage to me. Anyone know what version of shuttle this is ? I thought it would make a great project as my first Hirobo and my first Nitro. Should fit in well above my 450.

Edit: ('96 ZX swash, washout,flybar cage, tail fin, and canopy match, it has the top start hex the original ZX had belt or pull.)

Depending on the vintage I might choose to keep it original as possible. Maybe use later upgrade parts.
What kind of capabilities am I looking at w/ this one??

Sounds like a ZXX, I still have and fly one a couple times a season. It flies like a bus compared to the newer helis out there.

Awesome I think I will Like it. Other than a HH gyro. I think I will let it stay the way it is,putt around w/ it. Maybe add a scale body or some factory u[gradesOther than my 120sr it will probably be the only FB heli I get. Unless it sparks a vintage adiction, more likely it will start a nitro habit.

I still have mine as I built it back in 1993. Mechanical gyro, slow ass servos and still the 72mhz radio with throttle rudder mixing up and down.

I would probably fly it more often if I knew I could get parts.
