Flying Helicopter Toy from the 50's

Hi Woodsy

Just found this clip on You Tube, a remote control helicopter toy from the 1950s. It flies on the end of a pole and can pick up various small items that were included in the box. 

It bears a very slight resemblance to the American Sikorsky S-51 helicopter, or the British Westland-Sikorsky Dragonfly version. Looks like a fun toy.

  2. I can see that the Mattel "Vertibird" helicopter evolved from this as well as the "eagle" hover-toy.
