A built Vario MD 900 kit (by Vario)
The real thing in UK Air Support Colours
November
6, 2009
Now I have the
remaining Vario parts, we can hopefully get on with the build at a
reasonable pace.
I have fitted
the massive Webra .91 engine into the main frames with exhaust stub,
which meant elongating the hole in the floor of the tub so that it
will exit cleanly, and so that it does not touch at any
point.
 |
As you can see on the left,
the fuel bottle has
been painted a delicate shade of blue to
make it less noticeable when in the aircraft,
but still allowing us to see the fuel level.
You can also see the
exhaust silencer with
the tank pressure pipe connected
to the fuel tank |

Here we are looking down at the
left hand side of the Webra, showing the carburettor mixture
adjuster, and below that you can see the
massive fan that will generate all the air
pressure needed to allow the NOTAR tail
assembly to provide full control of the
helicopter tail |
|
Here I have been adjusting
the pilot's seat position so that he can get at all of the
controls. I have had to reduce the seat height too as
his waist was too high for him to be able to get hold of the
cyclic stick at all.
Now he fits nicely, and his
feet will
reach the rudder pedals as well. |

The paint side
is also moving ahead slowly but surely, with all four doors now in
their final colour coat. All that remains for them is the lacquer
coats, and then trimming them with the various fittings such as
handles.
The main
fuselage is almost ready for it last two colour coats, and then of
course, the lacquer coats once the colour is totally cured.
The entire
boom and tail surfaces are also fully coloured now, just waiting for
their lacquer coats.
