Benzin Trainer

The classic Petrol Trainer is known for its reliability and can be installed in a wide range of fuselages. It is available in eight different combinations:

with rotor shaft diameter 10/12 mm

with flybar or flybarless

with or without engine / silencer.

This mechanical layout is an excellent choice for installation in any full-fuselage helicopter designed for the petrol mechanics 1002/21, 1002/22 or 1002/23. Particularly attractive models include the Hughes 500, the Ecureuil and the Jet Ranger, whose size makes them perfect for this power system. Please note the shaft diameter. Only the large Vario Bo 105 with order no. 6004 and the Air-Crane for petrol mechanics no. 6400 are not suitable for this; the aerobatic mechanics are used for these.

Our aim was to produce a flying mechanical system with a two-stage reduction gearbox, capable of exploiting the full power of a petrol engine. Excellent flight handling in every situation was also required.

The result is the VARIO Petrol Trainer with a reduction ratio of 9.1 : 1 on a 1780 mm rotor disc.

The maximum payload of the Petrol Trainer is approx. 4 kg.

The agile Petrol Trainer is designed for the 23 cc Zenoah engine, with integral cooling fan. This engine has been specially modified to suit the VARIO Petrol Trainer and Petrol Mechanics. The engine produces its maximum power at a speed of around 9,500 to 10,500 rpm. The required fuel is a 1:40 oil / petrol mixture. The petrol engine features an integral starter and a cooling fan, which draws the cooling air precisely over the cylinder head.

The main and tail rotor blades are included in the kit.

The model is supplied as a kit, i.e. unassembled.
