    Good evening Everyone
    I was recently given a box of bits which turn out to be a nice looking 450 size heli, I need to order some parts for it but have no idea if it is a generic kit or a branded heli please see the attached photos and if anyone can identify I would be most grateful

    Dunno but the right hand servo needs flipping round and maybe a shorter arm for the push pull control. I like this thread already. It has a flybar 👍😎

      I have 3 helis, a Honey Bee King, a 450 clone and a micro one but this style of setup is new to me P2ddy but flybar is the only thing I know and as a flying novice all I want to know at the moment.

        My guess would be a Century / Art-tech with an aftermarket carbon frame.

          Hey buddy.

          This is a good one and I'm confident I do recall seeing it in magazines, but I can't remember the specific name, so i went Googling.

          My first thought was a Quick World Wide model, but I can't see it on the web if it is.
          I also looked for Gazaur Mars, as I recalled that model was a bit out there and it is even more so than this.
          Also looked up Pro-Tech as they did some 450's, but again not like this.
          Then Jumped to Hirobo, then RCer Dragonus, EXI, anything that comes to mind. Been so many over the years.
          Hobbico has just jumped into my head so may Google see if they had any 450's.

          Could we get some more close up photos on anything that looks remarkably like a branding of some sort or other.

          The push me/pull you cyclic setup is very different on a model this size, so I even wondered if it was an upgraded frame kit.

            I initially thought it looked like a swift, before I clicked on the pics as the landing gear looked tall. Then looked and realised it wasn't. The Mars and posieden were more Meccano looking with the now more common landing gear. There was Aplus 400 but wasn't like this heli either.

              The Swift was bigger, this looks like a 450, so I was thinking the old Century Genius (mainly on the looks of the rotorhead) but with an aftermarket frame as the original Century frame was a molded plastic thing if memory serves.

              Looking at it again - I'm not sure where the battery was supposed to go as there is no sloping front frame component as I would expect, and not enough space under the motor

                Yea swift is a 30 size leccy same as the logo 500. It just momentarily looked like one to be before I clicked on the pics as the landing gear looked long and spindly. I can see they are normal 450 size. The lipo just goes on the base plate. Seen 450 set ups like that with the receiver on the angled bolt on plate.

                      Thank you for all the comments and as yet I still cant find this heli, most of the parts are here to get it up and running the only main part I need is a push rod to the tail I was wondering if it was a Belt CP clone
