Classic Rotors - red helicopter to identify
 

Any ideas what this is/was..? Perhaps for a film, but what was it from? Brantly perhaps? Photo taken at Classic Rotors, Ramona CA recently

Whirlwind/S-55 in the background....

R-88 prototype.

I believe that to be a Monte-Copter prototype Model 10, which became the Monte-Copter prototype Model 12.
