copy of EC145 XL - Fuselage kit

The VARIO H145 is a scale helicopter in size 1050. You can power this remote-controlled model with an electric system. Airbus Helicopters is the creator of the manned version and continues to build this helicopter to this day.

As with its smaller Vario "sister", the fuselage and additional parts are produced using original data from Airbus Helicopters. Even in this model size, Vario is the only company offering a kit that uses such information. The realism is reflected not only in this, but also in the size of the model: a rotor diameter of 2.30 metres is impressive, making it very similar to a real helicopter. The machine offers plenty of space and realism thanks to the cabin extension and the external accessories. Thanks to the popular XL dome mechanism, the cabin area is completely open from the windscreen to the rear clamshell doors. This H145 has another sister: the EC145 of the same size. Simply by replacing the tail section, the model is transformed into a completely different type of helicopter. Both versions offer the great operational advantage that the tail rotor blades always keep sufficient distance from the ground when landing. The Fenestron developed for this model has a diameter of 255 mm and turns at 7,500 rpm.

For the VARIO H145 1050, we recommend a maximum main rotor speed of 850 rpm. The VARIO electric drive sets are already adjusted to this head speed.

Electric mechanics XL 1002/1200
Our drive recommendation for this helicopter! A contemporary dome mechanics designed especially for electric flight of scale models, which allows full cockpit detail. This mechanics is suitable for the fuselage kit Ord.No. 1492. Electric motors are quiet, have low vibration and produce no exhaust fumes or residual thrust. The "clapping" sound of the rotor blades is more noticeable than with other types of drive, resulting in a very realistic flight impression. For this electromechanical system in combination with this model, we offer a drive set for 12S LiPos.

The H145 (EC145 T2) was first presented to the public in 2011 at Heli-Expo in Orlando, Florida. The outer airframe is very similar to that of its predecessor, the EC145. However, an important difference is the Fenestron that replaces the tail rotor. The cabin and the turbines are also different from those of the EC145.
