Vario Bell 47 G3 Electric or Petro

Although out of $$$ reach what would you choose, electric or Petro.

On my dream list since yesteryear. Just thinking and the approaching biological clock.

Petro. Cheaper to run in the long haul. Personally, I just don't want to deal with the batteries.

yeah..petro; I like the sound the electric scalers make when it's a model of a modern turbine heli but for that bird gas sounds better!

I do a great decending funnel!

Electric or Petrol

I watched and listened to the petrol versions fly.. to create enough power to fly, it sounded like a string trimmer running at full throttle, which wasn't a very pleasant note..
Mine was converted to electric and flies beautifully..as far as the sound, I added an electronic sound system, and between that and those big Vario blades, you where hard pressed not to feel it was a full scale flying..
Building mine for scale competition did make placing the batteries a bit of a concern, which ended up under the cabin floor..but for sport scale, they could easily be hung under the cabin, as cargo..
This is my NATS winner from 2012..
