3789 helicopter - Black Tail Rotor part number?
« on: April 05, 2008, 13:57:08 »
Does anyone have the part number for this black tail rotor?

I got two of these helicopters off eBay, one with and one without the tail rotor. I could order a different colour but as the main rotors are black it'd be nice to have them matching.

It's unlikely the part is still available as the set was discontinued a long time ago.  The number was 30 60 697.  The rotor pin from the yellow SAR helicopter fits (the models were the same basically apart from colour and some detail parts and accessories).  The yellow helicopter has a red rotor pin, 30 61 1420.

Thanks Gordon,

I'll put a black rotor on my next spares order just in case, but have an alternate colour as backup. I have the red 'copter in this style that has a white tail rotor, but red might look better on the white body.

It might be available again, as Paymobil is re-releasing this set:

Not the same tail rotor unfortunately.

I couldn't get the black rotor, but put a 30 09 4140 red rotor and a 30 24 0670 white rotor on my current spares order - the last they had in stock apparently, and they were 15p each.

Very impressed with the speed of response, within 24 hours, though I'm still awaiting delivery of my last spares order placed on 13th March. Should be soon.
