Hirobo Falcon 555 Vintage RC Helicopter

[@truckerray7533]

Very nice video of this Hirobo classic helo! I have the Hirobo Shuttle that i bought in Hong Kong in 1989 on West Pac Navy deployment & the Hirobo Shuttle ZX that i bought in 1991, also in Hong Kong comming home from Operation Desert Storm deployment! 6 hours on the 1st Shuttle just trying to learn how to hover & absolutly 0 flight time on the Shuttle ZX! It sits on top of my computer shelf still in prestine condition as it came out of the box 32 yrs ago. I had to fully assemble that one! The 1st Shuttle was pre-assembled with the O.S. .028 engine! Thankya for sharing your video😃👍🏻

Thanks for watching. I also have an early Shuttle. It's the green one and it's hanging up in my cave waiting to be restored - one day.

​@DavidJones-ny1xv yes, the 1st hirobo shuttle I have was originally green, but had to replace the fuselage canopy & the both the orizontal & vertical fins all due to a crash! everything is now white!

Nice to meet you🇯🇵Good evening from Japan. It's a radio-controlled helicopter before I was born. This is the first time I've seen a Falcon video. The belt engine is starting! My father was also practicing helicopters using Falcon and 40 Baron (fixed pitch). Thank you for the wonderful video😊 I will register the video on the playlist I made.

Hi and thank you. I love your KZbin channel - lots of lovely old r/c heli's and some really great vintage videos of flying r/c helicopters. Heli-Lucky www.youtube.com/@Tahmazoheli_1989/videos

Bravo 👍Congratulations Another Hirobo Classic 1980 frame airborne - No 3D banging all over the sky - just old fashioned flying and no gyro I guess …

[@DavidJones-ny1xv]

Thanks. It does have rate gyro on the tail 🙂

That rotorhead and canopy looks like a competitor..

[@DavidJones-ny1xv]

Yep - Lots of Hirobo parts went into the GMP Competitor

Hello Friend. Do you have a video on how to align flybar blades?

[@DavidJones-ny1xv]

I have no video but there is an explanation and photos of how I aligned the paddles on my RC Groups restoration log at the bottom of this page: www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4220603-Hirobo-Falcon-555-Restoration/page4
