can anyone tell me what kind of rc helicopter i have and how can i get parts.

It's a Schluter - Heli-Boy I believe.

Parts? No, not really.

It's not a heli that you should really be considering flying unless you've got a bunch of experience. It's more of a display piece/collector's item now.

You'd be better served with something newer, if you intend to fly.

I believe it is a Mantis, can't remember the manufacturer. I built one many moons ago when I was about 14. A friend of mine still has it I think and last I heard he was selling everything he had if interested.

You may be right Bill - it does look like a Schluter head though. The Mantis was made by American RC.

Wow, that's old. Where did you get it? Tell us more , it's a classic.
Probably about 1980 in vintage? MarkToo is probably the expert here on old helis.
Where in Nova Scotia are you located?
