Hi
I'm looking to buy an RC230, for a scale Heli project, which will be based
on a Vario Benzin & Vario Airwolf.

The RC230 in the US (even from Vario suppliers) is a lot less expensive than
the RC230 from Vario in the UK. (less than half price!). When I questioned
this, I was told that this was because the engine (when supplied by Vario
UK), has some cooling ducting on it, and that they would not support if I
bought from elsewhere...

My questions are:
a). Is the RC230 in the UK really worth twice the price??
b). What is the ducting they talk about? Can I not fit this myself, to the
RC230??

Also, does anyone in the UK know the best place to buy an RC230 (or even in
other countries!!).

Thanks


Paul
