Do you remember the Mattel Vertibird toy helicopter from the 70's? If you had one, you likely considered it one of your favorite toys. The Vertibird was the first step toward my life long passion for RC helicopters. Let's have a look at this awesome little toy helicopter in action and see how it works.
My web page on the Mattel Vertibird goes into much more detail of how they work, the different versions of Vertibirds that were available, common things to check & look for when purchasing used VertiBirds: https://www.rchelicopterfun.com/mattel-vertibird.html
If you have a working Vertibird chopper, hang on to it. As working examples become more and more scarce, their values are going up considerably. Working ones in good condition with the original box are often fetching $300 USD and up.
