| Paul,Lockheed built tethered R/C Helicopters,Schlutler built and developed the first successful model helicopter R/C system that could complete a full circuit,I well remember seeing him demonstrate in the UK at Sywell,everyone was awe struck to see something made in miniature that was previously said not possible,and as we know he went on to develop and produce the parts for others to incorporate in their models.
Model helicopters under 'remote' ( not to be confused with radio control ) were designed and flown by Igor Sikorsky many years even before Lockheed,there is photographic film evidence to back this up.
