Vario Scale and Pod & Boom Trainer Helicopter Systems



The Bell 47 GIII helicopter is a classic, of which there are many types that are still flown today. We decided to use the G III, a 3-seater version. The engine is located behind the cabin in order to allow a full cockpit interior to be fitted. The complete tail section can be removed (5 bolts) to aid transportation.

Fuselage Ord.No. 4700 10-piece GFK fuselage Stainless steel lattice fuselage, 4 parts Cabin Scale landing gear Tail push rod control Stainless steel tube drive to tail incl. mountings Various small parts Technical Data Scale 1:4,1 Length 2370 mm Width 550 mm Height 760 mm Rotor 2360 mm Motor 23 qcm Weight ca. 13,5 kg


Bell 430 Turbine Bell 430 The 4 bladed Bell 430 is designed for our turbine mechanics Ord.No. 1002/67, alternatively the PHT3-L mechanics can be used from JetCat. The important point is the choice of turbine: the max permissible speed of the four-blade head is 850 rpm, the 4 rotor blades generate such high torque that it is not feasible to use all the available turbine reduction ratios. If you wish to use a higher rpm, the only option is a 2 blade rotor head.

Bell 412 Turbine Bell 412 This Bell 412 is designed for our turbine mechanics Ord.No. 1002/68, alternatively the PHT3-3 mechanics can be used from JetCat. Because the turbine is in its original postion (rearward) a full scale cockpit can be added. The tail boom is removable to facilitate transport. Fuselage Ord.No. 4140 15 piece GFK fuselage Window set Stainless steel tube drive to tail incl. mountings Skid undercarriage Laser cut formers Various small parts Technical Data Scale 1:6,2 Length 2160 mm Width 405 mm Height 640 mm Rotor 2300 mm Motor Jet Weight ca. 17 kg


Eurocopter AS350 Electric Ecureuil AS 350 B3 With this kit, special emphasis was placed on the original full size design. The doors can be made functional. There is also an opening loading door on the left side. The cockpit can be scaled to the original helicopter, as it is clear of any mechanics. The tail rotor drive shaft is mounted on top of the tail boom under a removal cover, giving good access for assembly and maintenance.

Fuselage Ord.No. 9000 21-piece GFK-fuselage Clear window set Stainless steel tail drive, 8 mm incl. mountings and couplings Welded aluminum skid landing gear Laser cut wood formers Tail control push-rod, 4 mm CFK-tube Various small parts Technical Data Scale 1:4,4 Length 2500 mm Width 540 mm Height 740 mm Rotor 2300/2360 mm Motor Jet Weight ca. 18 kg



Schweizer 300C In 1955, Hughes Tool Company Aircraft Division carried out a market survey which showed that there was a demand for a low-cost, lightweight two-seat helicopter. The division began building the Model 269 in September 1955. In 1964, Hughes introduced the slightly-larger three-seat Model 269B which it marketed as the Hughes 300. In 1969 the improved Hughes 300C (sometimes 269C) was released.

Fuselage Ord.No. 6030 GFK cabin, fins & other parts Stainless steel tube drive to tail incl. mountings Skid undercarriage Window set Metal supports Technical Data Scale 1:4,5 Length 1440 mm Width 300 mm Height 835 mm Rotor 1680 mm Motor 23 qcm Weight ca. 7,5 kg


Benzin-Trainer Our aim was to produce a flying mechanical system with two-stage reduction gearbox, able to exploit the full power of a petrol engine. Excellent flight handling in every situation was also required. The result is the VARIO Petrol Trainer, with a reduction ratio of 9.1 : 1 and rotor diameter of 1780mm.

Kit Ord.No. 8301 Technical Data Length 1460 mm Width 200 mm Height 520 mm Rotor 1780 mm Motor 23 qcm Weight 7,3 kg

Note: all Vario scale fuselages require mechanics, rotor head, rotor blades, main shaft, pushrods, powerplant, other miscellaneous components and all electronics to be purchased separately in order to complete the model.

These are highly scaled precision molded models and are NOT ARFs. Some fiberglass building experience is required to complete the model

If need be, kindly enquire about building services or pre-built models..
