How about Willy-Whirlybird


Hey what was that toy helicopter that was a big seller in the 1970's that
flew around in circles on a long rod and had the wired remote that allowed
you to control height and forward/reverse speed? The operator could hover
and pick up 'loads' and fly around to a different part of the circuit and
drop stuff off. I had the shipped based one that had like a 5 foot
styrofoam ship. That thing was cool. I go to many estates sales and if I
ever see another I buying it. I am 43 and would not mind spending a few
minutes with one again.
