Early Du Bro heli pics anyone

LowTek · 07-06-2012, 06:51 AM

Does anyone have any pics of the Du Bro heli? Not the Wirlybird but the one powered by an O&R gas engine and later a .60. I think it was called the Shark.

My first try at helicopters was with this bird.

The Du-Bro Shark came out in 1976,it was the first helicopter that I built and still have. I just set up an account here,I'm now retired and my eyes are not what they use to be so I can't fly anymore so I guess I'm going too let things go . Here is a picture[ATTACH]

I remember mid 70 Bob Bentley from dubro would bring this to flyins in the Chicago area and a successfully takeoff and landing regardless if it made it back to the field was met with thunderous applause.
