Hello
Anyone have instruction`s /drawings or pics of the Kalt "Baron Alpha" as it was called in the UK, and "Excaliber" in the US, so looking for any info. I have one I would like to rebuild.

The Kalt helis from the 90's?
If you are an experienced heli pilot and an experienced builder and enjoy the challenge of hunting down nearly impossible to find parts, and want a historical restoration project more than you want a flyable heli, go for it.
Otherwise, put it up on a shelf as is, and get a modern heli to use.
I am not trying to rain on your parade, but I know how difficult it can be to try to use old models.

Hello
Thanks for your reply, No I`m not an experienced heli pilot or experienced builder of heli`s, (fixed wing yes), hence while I would like to get some info on this Heli, and get it going, it looks possibly most of the parts are there, have a lot of spares still sealed in their packets, plus it can go with my other oldie (pic), I think it was the first heli on the market.
regards
Dave

Sounds like you have some nice old birds. Leave them on the shelf.
If you want to learn, go by a Raptor 50, or a Hirobo Sceadu 50. Or get an electric heli like the T-Rex 450.
Get a simulator. Realflight G3.5 or Reflect XTR are both good examples.
Crashes happen. A lot. Trying to go through the very difficult learning curve with an antique heli is wrong on several levels.
Learn on something replaceable. With modern engineering.
