Do someone remember the famous name Dieter Schlüter?
He was the man, who did one of first rc-helicopters!

Also he had some other stuff in his program: sportboats and yachts like the well known "Riva2000", "Seafari" and a RIB with electric outboard motor.
All these fine kits were done in the early 80ties of last century.

Some weeks ago I found a new kit of the rib! 27 years old, made from fresh white polystyrene, who never saw UV-light!

I got it for small money and today it had its maiden...

470mm hull with flat bottom, 540 Mabuchi motor, 35mm prop, 8 cells 2/3sub 1700 Sanyo blue and Carson 27T esc.

I remember reading about Dieter and I also remember the big line of Schluter helis that used to be marketed in the USA.

You have a fine, vintage model boat there. Congratulations!
