What old heli is this?

[muscleflex]

This was given to me by a friend. I've had this in my parent's garage for a few years now and I don't know if I should keep this or get rid?

Thanks. A guy apparently offered my mom £60 for it when he saw it when my mom was tidying up in their garage yesterday. I said yeah to the amount as I don't know if I'll have time to do anything with it and I don't know what it's worth if it's even worth anything

I guess it's like anything, its worth what someone is willing to pay

i would like to find an old MFA sport or a Morley 300

There is a very active Morley owners Facebook page and they keep an interest in all sales etc! The Canopies for the Bell are (I believe) like Rocking Horse ****!
The page is well worth a look?

rocking horse poo is easy to get hold of
compared to an original morley bell 47 canopy bubble

so do you think my bell has an original canopy?

It certainly looks like an original morley - shame about the colour scheme and canopy looks a little "orange" from the sun - but if it's in 1 piece and not cracked then there are always people looking for them!

When I was in Pegasus Models yesterday they had a MFA Sport 500 hanging up.

I sold a mint New in box MFA sport 500 and also mint collective pitch conversion last year, it looks like the original bubble, didn't they change the design of the rotor head later on?, the one in the photo is the old style head, which I had, my first rc helicopter, wished I still had her.

Hi Patrick, see you found the owners group and that was a nice opening from Mark? Just shows you never know who wants that old stuff. From the garage?
Good luck with it.

A superb little heli indeed , I love thrashing mine around the field , it may be old with some slop , but she goes well get it up and use it dude

[electricsceadu]

Hi, P Christy has run off some new canopies, doors and dummy tanks.
I got a set off him, excellent quality.

I couldn't sell that if I found it in my garage, lovely bit of old school down the field should gather Interest and it would Imo be fun flying something like that. As this is an old thread did you sell it or keep it??
