Styk,

The Airstar Evolution mechanics and the Vario Benzin Trainer mechanics will both fit in Vario's EC135 scale fuselage.

The Airstar Evolution mechanics for the EC135 use a belt driven system for the fenestron running at 10,500 RPM. For the same price you can get the Evolution as a torque tube driven system. You would need the scale 4 bladed head, rotor blades, 4 new pushrods and a fenestron.

It converting from the torque tube driven Airstar Evolution or the Vario Trainer you may need the fenestron tail drive system, 4 new pushrods, a fenestron a 4 bladed head and rotor blades and a new 10mm main rotor shaft for the Vario version.

The Airstar Evolution uses a 12mm main rotor system and the Vario mechanics call for a 10mm main rotor system.

Those are just a couple of options for your build.
