As of now, there really is no info about the 120, pricing, size, mechanics, or anything else. Only the pic from the Paris Show. That prototype has been around for some time now.

Joe,

Well, I think Vario should send me the prototype and let me drop some mechs in it and see how she flies.... maybe I can help spark enough interest to get the production line going!

Hi Elliott,

what do you mean by "WE have EC120 fuse ready". Who is WE? Is this Vario or is this your own company?

Jerry Hick the owner of Scalehouse just relocated to Florida, and is still in the process of getting settled in. You can try to email him at
scaleone@gte.net , although i am not sure if this address still works.

Hey Elliot,


Looks good so far... So, what is the plan to address the Fenestron tail?
The kit won't be much good without one that is properly sized.

The plug in the above photo, what size is it? Will you manufacturer a Feneston cowling/fin out of glass that wraps around a standard Vario Fenestron mechanics like the SkyFox or Petrol?

I suppose a ship date isn't anytime soon..?

thanks,



Raymond

Will this kit be available soon? Before Vario? Is it larger than varios? Any idea on the cost? Vario is keeping everything a secret and it is not impressing any of us. Besides, Vario always says a release date and never meets that date which disappoints us all. Many of us have been waiting a long time for this kit.

Elliot:

Thanks for the information. I'm considering using the Xcell gasser for the EC-120. If yours will fit the gasser, I will get yours. I (and I'm not alone) have not had good experiences with Vario.

Elliot,

Can you purchase the Hirobo Fenestron by itself? Maybe use other mechanics and fabricate a drive shaft connector to mate the two components together?

I want the mechanics to have 90 degree CCPM. I like the idea of redundancy in that type of system and I really like to get the scale 3 bladed head. Who makes the best 90 degree mechanics that'll take a 90 class glow engine or a G23 gasser?

I've noticed a number of people say they have bad experiences with Vario.

Which dealer are you guys doing business with???? I've been getting my stuff from Joe on the East Coast and have had no problems. If I need it and he has it I get it. Timely too!!

Now if you're talking about the West Coast distributer............I completely understand. I choose not to deal with that location myself.
