Looking for some help to figure this one out
Gents,
I recently purchased this Heli on Ebay. Its design is very intriguing to me. I was also very surprised to see the wankel engine on it. Does anybody have any clue as to what this thing is or once was? I am really looking forward to cleaning her up and giving her a go. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Dietr777 |

WOW! That appears to be a model of John Burkham's XH-51A that was published in RC Modeller magazine in 1967. More information can be found here:
http://www.vrhc.co.uk/RC%20Helicopte...n%20Burkam.htm A truly rare find. Please post more information of your model. BTW, if it was my model, I would not attempt to fly it. It is a hand-made one-of-a-kind that according to the article was never successfully flown. Why risk destroying this piece of RC heli history? Last edited by tutelarRC; 03-17-2014 at 09:33 AM.. |
