Vario, Foxy and Kobold info

I am back into rc helicopters after a long lay off and have been flying a Raptor 30 V2. I would say I am at the begginer-intermiediate stage, F/F circuits and some nose in. I am not really interested in serious 3D - maybe a few loops and rolIs. I am thinking about moving to a larger helicopter with higher quality. How do the Varios fly compared to a Raptor? I am leaning towards the Kobold because of the ability to upgrade to a Sky Fox but the Foxy looks very nice also. Has anyone flown a Foxy and a Kobold/Skyfox that could give me an opinion? Thanks

If you are serious about getting a Kobold so that you are able to upgrade to Sky Fox spec later, perhaps you might like to consider my almost-new Sky Fox at a Kobold price:

If at all, go with the sky fox over the kabold

Here in the USA, it is hard to get parts or support for the Varios. I have a kabold, the autorotate bell (not sure if this the correct name) on the kabold is weak. Mine stripped out after twenty flights and cost me $600 in repairs. I was informed I was suppose to grease the gear, it doesn't say anything in the manual about greasing but once I had the crash, called vario and the first question was how much grease did I put on the gear. My reponce was "none", the instructions didn't say anything about it. However -- the better gear comes with the skyfox, you will get more upgrades with the sky fox and it is cost effective to by the skyfox because of the upgrades already installed.

It will cost in the region of 75$ to ship my Sky Fox with engine to the US, possibly a little more as the dollar is weak against the Euro, which is the currency I have to use.
