EC 135
I have a EC135 from vario on the way. Just talked to the trucking company del. is set for monday 3/17. It's the turbine version, vario built, painted, & test flown the whole project. I will post pics when it comes in & let you know about the quality.
One thing you should know is that it was ordered nov.1st 2002
with a 4 - 6 week del promished, after hearing ever excuse in the book it finally shipped about 21 weeks later. So if your going to let them build it be preparied to wait. They seem like good people, they just live in a different time warp. 1 min = 1 hour, 1 day = 1 month etc.

EC135
I have built and flown the EC135 glow version, I used the 4 bladed electrometric head and sky fox mechanics.
will you be using a two or four bladed head? the Heli will fly differently between these heads. I found the the Heli would like to sink in turns and you had to keep on top of it during forward flight. it was pure pleasure hovering it and doing scale like flying.
the multi blade gyro I hear works real well and would have help with fast forward flight . There is lots of room up front for a full cockpit and pilots.
Good luck
