Anyone name this kids toy

[schematic]

I had one when i was a kid and would like to get one for my boy if its still availabale, but just cannot put a name too it.

Hopefully one of you may remember it

A tall tower and at the top was a sprung steel wire, on one end of the wire it had a Helicopter (possibly a chinook) and was weighted at the other end.

There was a controller coming out from the base of the tower that controlled the speed of the roter blades and the copter would go round in circles and when slowed down would lower to pickup barrels etc.

My discription maybe a bit vauge as it was about 30yrs ago

Anyone know it ?

Do you mean something along the same lines as this except your one was counter weighted...



I remember having one, thats all I could find on it though.

Similar idea, but this was a tower with a horizontal sprung steel whip on top, im positive it was a chinook helicopter too.

Ive been searching this morning for the one i remember but with no luck, maybe its harder too find than the ones you posted so the one im looking for is more than likely rare as rocking horse shit as well (trust me to pick a difficult one), Im probably remembering it through rose tinted glasses anyway.

Thanks for looking tho chaps

Cheers
