My Posts This: Topic  Forum		I have the exact same one as this sittting on a shelf.
A friend of mine gave this to me.
It had been sitting at his house for a number of years and he did nothing with it.
He then gave it to me and I haven't done anything with it yet either.
Didn't know who the manufacture was or what mechanics to install.

Have you had a look through the Antique & Out of business section in RunRyder? That may help with some more clues.

I was told it was a 60 size as well.
Would you still run a 60 size mechanics in it today?
And what mechanics would you use?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Bob,

If you still have the original mechanics, and they are in good condition, stick with them. The head supplied at the time was almost scale for that heli and there isn't anything readily available today that looks better. You can put a new 60 or 70 engine in and that would be fine. If you haven't got the mechanics, then basically you would have to make something fit, and there are loads to choose from out there.

He had something mocked into it but I believe it was schluter mechanics.

Hi Guys, bit of an update on the huey, mechanics all stripped down and clean, engine cleaned and bench tested, runs really well, very pleased with it, just picked up a nose for the fuse from Century, need to do a little bit of a mod onit to fit, but no big deal, I will try and post some pics of it in my gallery, thanks to you all for your past help, all the best.
