Will the NoTar (Not Tail Rotor) Hyperfly Heli Hover? That 's the

Some said it couldn't hover or even fly at all for that matter. Mode I Radios made it tough for USA pilots who cant fly airplanes in Mode I either. I tried and tried to not allow the American distributors sell it with a Mode I radio,but it was out of my hands by then. That is why it sold so well overseas, where they fly mode I.
Because this machine was new, and unconventional, it was beyond most Mode II fliers flying capability who had no understanding of basic helicopter theory and aerodynamics. Here I show exactly what it could do. (And of course in the right hands), they were proven wrong, as I demonstate the extremes in this video. The Hyperfly turned out to be the most sold model of all time in Kyosho's history. Most of the sales came from overseas where people did not give up learning to fly it like they did in the USA. It ran it's sales course for 9 years, which is longer than most innovative flying machines that typically have a sales life expectancy of only 2 years or less.
It was featured in Aviation Weekly and Space Technology magazines. The original is on display at the San Diego Aerospace Museum which was donated by Aki Suzuki of Kyosho Corporation. I had to successfully fly it for the museum staff first, to prove it's airworthyness.
This machine was originally designed by me to prove a point. And that point was that I could take any electric ETRM helicopter, take the tail rotor motor off, put a plastic plate on the tail and fly around just fine. You may have seen it in one of my other Hyperfly videos on youtube. It was a new kind of flying machine that only needed a 2 channel radio to fly. I hope you enjoy this bit of more R/C history folks.
Thanks for watching.
