Hello, I am a brand new member and I need some help!
I fly foamie electric planes and a small Walkera coaxial heli, and a friend of mine ask me to sell a helicopter for him. He has a tire shop and mechanic service and someone gave him this heli and equipment I believe for tires and mechanical service. I know nothing about heli's so what I'm asking is help on how much this is worth so I can sell it. The Heli is very big (48" blade span and 42" from the tail boom to the nose and weighs 6 1/4 lbs.) It is a Hirobo ShuttleZ Helicopter. (Gas) I think .32 engine! at least one of the empty boxes says "Artikel Webra Speed .32 RC ABCD Heli mit TN-Vergaser"
Included is and Airtornics VG6H 6ch 72,83 mhz (52) Tx.
There is an empty box that says SG-X Gyro system by Airtronics that I assume is on the heli.
New blades in a box (wood with reinforcement rods) I believe they need fiberglassed.
New tail boom, Box full of screws and things, Inside tail pitch plate (new)
New tail blades, New main shaft, New timing belt, Glo-starter, ZS linkage set (new), Carburetor in a package, Metal clutch bell lining (new),
W-linkset new, there is a long rod with threads on both ends, floats for a heli, Box of parts, 12 V starter, Tail fins (new), Instruction manual for the heli, Mini Tune Pipe in a box new, Inside tail Drive Shaft (new), ZS Tail Unit Case new, More parts, Tx charger with flight battery charger, Lots of extras.
I would like to get a reasonable price so both the seller and the buyer would be blessed. If you would help I have 52 pictures of everything and if you will send me your email address I will send you the compressed photos. I'll post just a few. My email address is: carl@richhill.net (carl@richhill.net).
I am a minister is Rich Hill MO and have been for the past 34 years so I am relying on your help with this. Your friend in Christ, Carl Covey (quailbird)
It might not be worth anything and that won't hurt my feelings. I didn't even know it was antique.

I emailed you but I did not get a response. Did you sell it yet?

It really isn't worth anything on today's market. A brand new Hirobo Shuttle Plus 2 kit (which is basically the same bird, upgraded) minus engine and electronics can be purchased new for less than $200. The other parts you mentioned are also out of date...

However, it is still a great "starter heli kit" for someone that wants to get into glow-fueled (nitromethane) helis. I started on one similar myself a little over a year ago and purchased the whole lot for about $100 from a friend. He had also taken it in trade for work done...

Maybe you yourself would like to get oily and smokey? ;)

I got those pictures of the Shuttle and I like what I see. But I I have one problem at the moment. I put my T-rex 600e in the ground today while inverted. The flight pack battery died I dont know why it did cuz it was fully chaged before I took off now I have to get it ready for a fun fly this Sunday and that sucked up all my available resources. But if you still have it in a week or two I will buy it from you.
