cool that you selected the italian paint scheme "forestale" ;-) i'm from italy ..

i can only immagine how expensive the vario fuse and mechanics was .. WOW

That is crazy! SUPER scale. When flown slowly, could fool anyone, however... Is a bit too clean. I wonder why some builders don't lightly sandblast their copters to give it an authentic look. (With the finest powder to take away that "fake high gloss look". EXCELLENT ! 39 pounds! What are we talking here in price to build?

The fuselage and mechanics are made by Vario in Germany. The mechanics are the "gasser" mechanics meant for the G230 engine.  I use a Steve Neu 2230/2Y electric motor with the 22 tooth clutch, Power Jazz Kontronic electronic speed control and 4 battery packs (each 5S1P 5000 LiPo) to build a 10S 10,000mAH flight battery. The batteries can safely power the heli for 9 minutes. Power consumption averages 1950 watts, and the heli weighs 39 pounds fully loaded.
