Robbe / Schlüter RC Helicopters

New machine just introduced in spring '00
Cross between the Millennium and the Futura.
Millie frames and Futura engine belt drive setup.
WARNING - the manual shows the incorrect control rod lengths for the bellcrank to swashplate linkages. The long links go to the lower bellcranks, the short to the upper as mounted in the sideframes.

More Details on the Futura SE model. and the Futura SS model.
The SE was designed by what many respect as the best heli pilot in the world: Curtis Youngblood. It flys accordingly.
The Futuras have an amazingly low parts count and assemple easily with no difficulty and superior parts fit.
The drive train went through several evolutions due to gear stripping. Make sure you get the latest one. All use a belt drive primary power transfer so engine alignment is not critcal.
Parts and support were very poor in the past but with a new distriputorship, Robbe has vastly improved the situation.
The Super Sport is a less expensive version of the SE with bushings and plastic parts instead of metal. Still flys great.
Kit prices have been drastically reduced along with spare parts prices so crashes will cost the same as all other helis.
Ron Lund @ Rick's and several other dealers now have Futura SE and SS parts in stock.
