The "big Bell 212" from VARIO is a 1050 size scale helicopter. You can power this remote-controlled model helicopter with turbine or electric propulsion. Bell Helicopter is the creator of the man-carrying version.An opening hatch can be installed in the scale position in the extreme nose of the fuselage, and this can be used to conceal facilities such as switches. The accessories for installing the hatch are included in the door fittings set. The tail boom is attached by a central screw-fitting joint; all you have to do is disconnect the tail rotor servo and undo the joint to remove the boom. The mechanical system is supported on a sub-structure consisting of aluminium plates with plastic connecting pieces, which in turn is screwed to the skid landing gear. The 3-litre kerosene tank is located on the bottom of the fuselage below the entry step. The position of the turbine aft of the rotor shaft inevitably requires nose weight for the correct Centre of Gravity, and this means that it is possible to install extensive scale fittings in the cockpit, including pilots, safety belts, landing searchlights etc. We decided on a rotor disc diameter of 2300 mm in order to ensure that this helicopter has good auto-rotation characteristics as well as very high performance. With an all-up weight of 16 - 17 kg.For VARIO's 1050 Twin-Huey we recommend a maximum main rotor speed of 853 rpm. Electric drive sets from VARIO are already tuned to this head speed.Select one of the following drive types:
