Who remembers this toy from the mid 1970's

Who remembers Super copter? It may have been one word, cant be sure. I actually had it and remember it very well. It was a yellow twin rotor helicopter that looks very similar to a Chinook, It was on the end of a bar with counter weights at one end. The helicopter would fly round in circles and you had to land it on the helipad using the remote control. I cant find any info or pictures on the net at all. I wish I had kept it!!! It dates back to around 1978

Was it anything like the bluebird Chopper Ace?

That's the closest resemblance i've seen in years Heather. Very similar but not the one

I found the above toy while looking for vertibird on Ebay, decided the above fitted the description better. Going to kick myself if it was that after all!!!

Rereading it, he did say twin blade, so not vertibird

Thanks for looking, I am so surprised that it is proving so difficult to find an image of it. Im not going to give up. It was definitely called supercopter, twin rotor blades (it didnt have the safety shrouds on the rotor tips like the one in the picture does). Was it made my Matchbox???? im not sure but it possibly was.

Excellent!
I searched my 1978 catalogues, but found nothing that matched
