Schweizer 300C 1:4 – Fuselage Kit

The “big Schweizer 300C” from VARIO is a 1000 size scale helicopter. You can power this remote-controlled model helicopter with gasoline (benzin) or electric propulsion. Hughes Helicopters is the creator of the man-carrying version and later licensed Schweizer Aircraft Corporation. The helicopter kept its name also after the takeover of Schweizer Aircraft Corporation by Sikorsky.

For VARIO’s 1000 Hughes 300 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 632/22

The propulsion of the full-size Schweizer 300C 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. 6032 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 632/22

Our propulsion recommendation for this helicopter (fuselage kit Ord.No. 6032)! 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.
