Brilliant find Peter, must have been made out of polystyrene or something similar as it was so light, not the sort of a/c you could fly outdoors on a windy day.
Just like to try flying that around my living room whilst my wife does all she can to avoid it!!
Regards
Nigel.

I think the fuselage was full of He Nigel. The airspeed looked far too slow for the wings to develop enough lift.

Seen a few of these helium assisted lift models

Nothing of this scale though Looks to be constructed from rigid plastic of some sort Don't think the pilot would have an easy time outdoors

That would explain it then, thanks Kevin.

Very Nice Peter, I agree it has to have helium in that large body to give it the lift as its way to slow for the wings to give enough lift.
