  • Helicopter Toy proper name?

    My partner had a toy (i think in the 70's) which involved pulling a cord through a toy helicopter which then made it spin up into the air. Does anyone know what the proper name for this toy was? It is his 40th birthday coming up and i would love to find one for him as this was his favourite toy as a child!

    Even if you are not 100% sure of the name let me know and i will investigate.

    Thanks in advance!!

        You'd be hard pressed to find a vintage one, as they usually got lost after a few flights

            Yes, nowadays they seem to have the ripcord device attached.
            The 70's ones were a separate pull cord.
            Scrub Whirly..I'm thinking of the Verti-Bird/Twirly Bird, which was a completely different toy

                Also.. you can pick up proper remote control ones for around £20. Much better than the old ripcord ones
