Robinson R22 1:4 - Fuselage kit

Ord.No. 7022

The Robinson R22 from VARIO is a 950 size scale helicopter. You can power this remote-controlled model helicopter with gasoline (benzin) or electric propulsion. Robinson Helicopter is the creator of the man-carrying version and produces this helicopter. In this new version of our popular R22 we have used the mechanics from our Bell 47. This has moved the motor rearward allowing us to remove the cooling hole at the front of the cockpit. It also allows for the installation of a cockpit. Batteries etc. can be mounted under the cockpit floor. The model has a particularly long rotor shaft.

For VARIO's 950 R22 we recommend a main rotor speed of approx. 900 rpm. Electric drive sets from VARIO are already tuned to this head speed.

Select one of the following drive types:

Benzin Mechanics 470/23

The propulsion of the full-size Robinson R22 is also provided by a piston engine. Therefore, the Benzin mechanics is true-to-original. The benefit of a gasoline helicopter is a robust, easy-to-use engine for long flight times. The fuel is available at every petrol station (2-stroke mix). Kit Ord.No. 7022 contains the bulkheads for the gasoline mechanics. If the engine noise in flight does not disturb you, you will enjoy this classic drive system for model making.

Electric Mechanics 470/23

Our propulsion recommendation for this helicopter (fuselage kit Ord.No. 7022)! Electric motors are quiet, low in vibration, without exhaust gases and residual thrust. The blade slap noise sound of the rotor blades is more noticeable than with other types of propulsion and the result is a true-to-life impression in flight. For this electromechanical system you can choose between two drive sets: for 10S or 12S LiPos.
