I have one identical to this Hirobo Z but it is the "ZX" in chrome gold lettering! Same colors & everything! Bought it in 1991 in Hong Kong comming home from Operation Desert Shield/Storm deployment in the Navy! It has no absolutely no hovering/ flight time on it at all & it sits on my computer shelf here at the house. I had to assemble the whole entire helo with the acception of the of the swashplate assembly! I bought an O.S. .032 engine powerplant with the pullstart start cord like on a push lawn mower! Thanks for sharing guys😃👍🏻!
Man the nostalgia to hear the gyro spin up! Had a ZX that totally disintigrated from a boom strike on first flight, or rather landing, because I had set up the pitch range wrong.... Well the bearings got to live on in the Shuttle Plus I got to replace it, I basically got a Shuttle + ZX and it is still alive. :-) Haven't flown it for many years perhaps it is time? Nice to see the old bird up and about.
Thank you. I was surprised by the power as well. I have another Shuttle (a ZXX, video coming soon) with an Enya 35 in it and this OS 25 feels more lively.
Hello, unfortunately, in german. Schönes Video. Die Pitsch/Gas Kurve passt nicht. Bei Pitsch plus oder minus darf sich die Motordrehzahl nicht ändern. Grüße aus Deutschland Franz
This brings back so many memories. My first heli was a ZX from 1989. So cool. Thanks for the video.
Ah, those fine days a long time ago when everything made sense!
This was my very first RC helo. 👍
Mine too! She was a beauty

I was going to comment the same thing! Hearing that gyro spin up brought back some very old memories for me!
I had one back in the day.And a mini boy too.
Beautiful machine
Wow good quality helicopter I did had the second generation I believe that's the 3 generation if don't mistake..
I still have my 2 GMP Cobra they still fly and look new....
`That's a very nice shuttle in perfect condition. I thought my OS32FH was low power for a shuttle but a .25 takes it up too!

This is sick just got gifted one and a cool traxxas nitro
This is the way I learned to fly and honestly would rather fly this then a hyper active tiny electric lol lol
No one cares about your preference. Lol
i had a couple back in the early 90s. enya 35 and an asp 32. one had a jet ranger fuselarge
SWEET !!!!!!
ONLY a .25??? Mine was from somewhere around 1990 or therabout and allready had a .32.
But indeed, they were great flying machines...
👍👍 from ZXX. 😎
👍👍👍
Have you flown it recently? Any more videos?
I'm afraid it has been sold. I needed to free up space.
How long did it take you to learn to fly. I just received a Hirobo Scedu 50.
I wouldn't say I've mastered it by any means, but I first spent a few hours on a computer simulator, then maybe 3-4 hours of actual real flying.
For sure get a sim! will save alot of time and money !
You might be too lean brother, its not blowing as much, smoke as it should. I'm a nitro 3d heli pilot. What fuel are you using?
Nevermind this was posted 2yrs ago lol
