Description

In the early '70s, Mattel introduced a helicopter that was controlled by a wired remote control. He helicopter was attached onto an arm, that was attached onto a base. It would go around in a circle, and with the remote you could lower the 'copter' to pick up stuff.

Target sells something very much like it in 2 scales. Bought one for my son. Remembered the old Verdi Bird days myself!

Loved the thing. Surprised it survived our childhood as long as it did, it was a fairly delicate bit of kit. There's a vertibird simulator on a web site somewhere, not nearly as enjoyable as the real thing however.

My Brothers and I loved this. I can still feel the wind as it went by. Loved to make it hover. It was sort of a delicate toy. I think Amazon.com or E-Bay has some similar toys. Great fun.....

I come across a website that had a free program that was for the PC and it was Verti Bird. Someone took much time writing lines of code to have a virtual verti bird and it is fun. I had one and loved it and the software is very close to the real thing. just never fly over your parents ash tray or else things get a little dusty! I have seen original verti bird's on auction websites they are $$ now.
