Vario 800 size Bell 412 revamp.

I picked this up at the Southern Scale Challenge back in September and have been piecing together parts to convert it to an electric gear driven setup. I finished it up today, I used a Tacon Bigfoot 60 (400kv) motor I picked up for a FMS 1700 Mustang I never used, a Castle Ice 100A ESC, Brain2 BT flybarless controller and 6S 6000 mAh Graphene battery.

This Heli was build several years ago by Paul Hudd in Texas, I just revived it😎



It had been flown through a tree before I got it and had a big chunk torn off the nose.

Good to see that 412 getting some love again. I saw it fly I believe back in 2002 when Dave McGirt owned it
