RE: VARIO
The answer to your question is yes you can.
BUT the next question is why would you want to learn on something that will cost you much more to repair, if there is enough left to repair, while you are learning.
The Vario is an excellent machine, but a good stable 30 sized would be the best to learn on.
The fact that Gravity Sucks is the one (and most likely the only one) that everyone that is registered on RR will agree to. We all started out the same way and it takes a lot of time a practice to make this look easy...
Good luck... (just my "humble" opinion)

RE: VARIO
"MY" humble opinion is the Vario/Ranger as a 1st heli would be the same mistake many plank (fixed wing) beginners make. I've seen the "new guy" try learning on his nice shiny P-51 with guns and retracts etc.... only to dump it right away, become discouraged & quit the hobby before he even started.
A good, dependable .30 or even a .50 unit that has good parts replacement support in your area is the best way to start. Join a club, see what they are flying and you'll do well. What ever you do, don't (I repeat -- DON'T) attempt to learn alone. You will (WILL) destroy your heli, quite possibly hurt yourself and/or others. I tell you from experience - I tried, destroyed, rebuilt, destroyed, shelved it for 4 years until I was lucky enough to meet a guy who taught me the right way. My goal at the time was "If I could only hover I'd be in heaven"...... now my goal is to finish a Vario 500E (one of 6 Heli's I now own) !
Point of interest: The "guy" who taught and is STILL teaching me is "Doorman" who left you the other msg.
Good Luck - remember, Never give up and never surrender !
