Who's flying what this season?

[Christopher J]

Since we have this new Vario section let's put it to some more use.

What do you Vario lovers/pilots fly?

I have a Vario UH 1D that I'm working on that my Vario Benzin will go into unless I decide to buy a set of Benzin mechs for it. I really like my Benzin, speaking of.....

Vario Benzin with
G23 motor running on Ozark/Amsoil blend
810mm Eastcoast Scale carbon blades
NGK suppressed cap
9202's on cyclic
GY 601 w/9251 on rudder

Vario Airwolf with
700 mm carbon blades
Kobold upgraded to Sky Fox mechs
Rossi 11.5 running on 5% Cool Power
9202's on cyclic
GY 401 w/9253 on rudder


Graupner/Hiem Agusata 109 bought NIB
680 mm carbon blades
Vario 3+4 mechs
JR Digitals on cyclic
GY 301 w/Hitech 925 on rudder
Rossi 11.5 (when it ships) will also be ran on 5% Cool Power

Rebuilding......
Vario Benzin owned by Aerial Images
Vario 800 mm glass blades
G23 running on Ozark/Amsoil blend
JR 4131's on cyclic
GY 601 w/9251 on rudder

It will be fitted with Helicam Solutions Broadcast 360 camera mount with retacting gear so the cam. can be rotated in any direction without the skids being in the way of the shot.

So.........what are the rest of you proud Vario owners flying?[/url]

I have a skyfox evo almost ready to go

Notar 520N I dunno if it'll fly this season.

Foxy, another 50 heli that i didnt need but kinda itchin to see what she'll do.

Also a Kobold for a jetranger fuse, not even on my build radar yet :D

[Christopher J]

How do those Foxy's fly? I've never owned one.

[Garland]

Foxy I dunno Chris I really need to find out. I t has a wire tail drive and I am kinda lookin to see if I can fit a skyfox TTube in it somehow. Mine has a webra 50H I believe.

Is Vario still supportin the Foxy?

[Christopher J]

Try getting a hold of Joe, he'd be able to tell you.

If I can find one of my older Vario catalogs I'll check the tail boom diameter and let you know if a Sky Fox one will fit. In the meantime Joe could probably let you know quicker.

I am flying my X-perience 90 with a webra 91 P5 AAR. she has 720 V-blades, JR radio system GY601 gyro.
it is a blast to fly and does 3d very well.

I am also going to bring out my old kobold with a rossi 65, a 3 bladed main and tail rotor, so that I can get used to flying multis again.

[Christopher J]

Sounds like a nice machine!! Will you be at IRCHA this year? I was looking forward to meeting you.

[Garland]

Any good Xperience pics? that is a sweet heli! I need a current Vario catalogue.

Well my rossi skyfox eng 3 blade fan crapped out, and Joe sent a nice eng fan with a metal center cone. Sweet! Great price also!

I am happy that after talkin to the Vario east coast guys that my lil foxy is still supported might take a tad longer fr them to get on the horn to Germany for whatever I'd need.

[gstjohn]

Yes I have some good pics of the x-perience. I will try and get them posted on here as soon as possible. as for IRCHA I will not be attending, I was planning on it but the funding is a little low right now. I am planning on going to the Kansas City FF in September. hopefully you can make it also.

[Christopher J]

I'll definately be at the KC event. I'll have to leave around 11 to attend a showteam event and I'll be back around 2 or 3. Looking forward to seeing you there.

I'll be posting hotel and other info on the event soon.
