Agusta AW139 1:7 – Fuselage Kit

The Agusta AW139 from VARIO is a 850 size scale helicopter. You can power this remote-controlled model helicopter with gasoline (benzin), turbine or electric propulsion. AgustaWestland is the creator of the man-carrying version and produces this helicopter. The model impresses with its scale retractable landing gear.

For VARIO’s 850 AW 139 we recommend a maximum main rotor speed of 1000 rpm. Electric drive sets from VARIO are already tuned to this head speed.

Select one of the following drive types:

Benzin Acrobatic Mechanics

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. 1390 contains the bulkheads for the gasoline Acrobatic mechanics. If the engine noise in flight does not disturb you, you will enjoy this classic drive system for model making. The VARIO Acrobatic mechanics were developed in conjunction with the VARIO Petrol mechanics to achieve a more maneuverable airframe that is better suited for aerobatic flight. This is due to the different arrangement of the mechanical components of this mechanics set. It can be flown as a trainer in pod and boom configuration, or in the Agusta AW139 fuselage. Other fuselage kits for this mechanics set are the Air Crane and the Bo 105.

Turbine Mechanics 140/22

The AW139 fuselage kit for the Pro 5000 turbine can be ordered with Ord.No. 1400.

The turbine version fascinates by the smell of kerosene, a gently starting rotor, accompanied by the unmistakable sound of a turbine. Until the electrical power revolution in radio controlled model construction, turbines were the most powerful drives. In terms of flight times, turbines are still superior to electro-flight.

Electric Mechanics 139/22

Our propulsion recommendation for this helicopter (Ord.No. 1390)! Contemporary mechanics, especially designed for the scale model electric flight. 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 we offer a drive set for 12S LiPos.

Benzin propulsion option – Build suggestion

First build a VARIO Acrobatic trainer (Ord.No. 8340) in the pod and boom configuration and fly, later install the mechanics in your scale fuselage. Advantage: You buy the mechanics components at a reasonable price and can learn the flying characteristics of the Benzin Acrobatic. The trainer mechanics can be built into all the fuselage kits Agusta AW139, Air Crane and Bo 105. If you exchange the Acrobatic Trainer’s 2-blade head to a multi-blade scale head, the reduction ratio must be adjusted. It is an easy conversion and the VARIO support network is always available to assist with the change.
