On this thread im going to detail my Vario 1:6 scale MD500e build. This will be my second Vario so I feel a little more comfortable with the instructions and the knowledge Ive gained over the past year. Feel free to comment and ask questions!

This will be tremendous!! Will be watching
Wow, I'm in MN but never knew our DNR flies such a pretty bird: ) Good luck with the build!
How did the build go? Any updates?
are you worried at all about the brass not being up to holding the load? Brass tends to be soft and bendy. Did you try roughing up the carbon prior to glueing?
I am also building the same. Are you able to share the interior structure (mechanics and wooden frame inside the fuselage)? Thanks.
