Ripp- Off ?

[Styk]

:mad:
Hi Guys
I'm in the process of buying a Vario Benzine Trainer as my first excursion into Petrol ( Gas )and i have spent many hours on this and other sites trying to get as much information as i can and came upon this, I can only describe as a big ripp off, I do know that there is differences in prices between the U.S and the U.K but,this to me anyway looks like sheer piracy What I am on about is the price you pay in the States from East Coast for the Zenoah 23 which comes in at $286 which is £145 and the price we pay in the U.K.£353 which is about $700
Anybody have any Ideas

All the best

The engine is a Zenoah G230RC. Just search for this engine. They are also used in large R/C cars. Many outlets sell this engine. It was interesting reading the discription on the first site, I like how other countries word their ads. Nothing wrong with it... just interesting.

but didnt know if there are any differences from what Vario is selling Could you possibly have a quick look for me and if you can tell me which one i need and if there is anything i have to do to the motor The best part is they will ship to Scotland

No difference. Same engine, I have one in my Vario Acrobatic. Daves is a good shop with good service.
Enjoy the trainer...Nice heli
