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.

Perfect toy untl your fat friend sits on the arm and then it never works again
Are these items available to purchase any more. I would love to get one. Info can be sent to markob2@aol.com
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.
