            I recently got a friends very old heli flying, one that he bought in 1982. It was an MFA Sport 500 with an MDS .40. I saw it take off and land within seconds on several occasions, but we got it flying a couple of weeks ago.

            It was fixed pitch and similar in layout to yours, pity the main bevel gear couldn't take the load and stripped after four tankfuls. I'll post some piccies when I get chance!

            Hey, where d'you learn to fly? I saw you shoot your rocket
            up.............. into the sky.

            Hey, I heard you set the pace, I never thought I'd see you back................ in this old place!

              Looks like an interesting project! I rebuilt an old MFA 500 last year and got it airborne powered by a cheap MDS 48. It was a great achievement to get an old heap airworthy again. I flogged it in the end as it was a right pain in the rear end to start and something always needed repairing/replacing on the sucker. Still that miniboy looks cool and should give you some fun airtime once youve finished tinkering with it.
