Vario 500 C 1:5 Building Techniques Electric Mechanics

RCPilotVario Hughes 500C 1/5th ScaleWanting my models to look a little different from all the others was my goal with this Vario 500C. Mechanics and Electronics I wanted to use the Vario 1002/40 mechanics converted to electric, utilizing the Benzine clutch

Check out Jon's Hughes 500C article. Very instructive whether or not you are building this particular model!
