I love the old vintage Kyosho Nexus Gas helicopters. They were an improved version of the Concept 30’s which were wildly popular and reliable in their day. The Nexus 30 was not much of a 3D helicopter, but with some mods, loops, rolls, and inverted flight can be accomplished. It’s heavy so much more smoother than the 1 lb electrics. My Nexus weighs 6.25 lbs in comparison and even has lead weights in the blades. So getting older and just liking to watch my helicopter fly nice and smooth is a real treat, as the wind does not bother this big machine too much.

41.3 inch long
16.4 inches high

I hope you enjoy this bit of history before piezo gyros, mixing radios for 3 servo swashplates, Lipos and 2.4 GHz.
