Hi,
You want to stick with a raptor or sceadu 30 size to start out with... parts are very cheap, and tehy fly well. Nobody around here flies vario stuff, so it will be hard for you to get help...you will need help
Things have slowed down this winter, but if you ever want to meet us out at the field, marrymoor or snohomish, drop me a PM.
