XH-44 HillerCopter:
Modeln' Pal Stan Hiller's interest in helicopters began in 1941 at age sixteen. At that time, this young man was already running a successful enterprise manufacturing model cars powered by small gasoline engines as well as building and crashing model helicopters.
The XH-44 coaxial configuration differed dramatically from other helicopters developed during this period but Hiller chose the layout for sound reasons. This unique helicopter and an appreciation to this great man is featured in great detail on our Hillercopter webpage. Isn't it high time to order up a set of
Magic Keys??
