VARISTAR

I would love to, but it is hard to leave a job that makes over $200.00 an hour, every hour.

Wow, I havn't been on in quite a while but the idea that someone could sit here and demolish some guys post is nutts....... If you don't want to buy it MOVE ON..... First it was sold to him as a Vario Benzine Traniner by ME... and bought by me as well. Here is the orginal post and the gentelman that I bought it from which if you talk to him you might find out that he "upgraded" the frames to air star with some pics of the STOCK washout before he did some of his "upgrades".

I didnt really notice at the time as it was my first Vario as well. The idea that changing or "upgrading" some parts doesnt make it a vario any more is just nonsense and childish. It's like saying if you run a Kasma Head on a Raptor90 that it's not a Raptor anymore... crap.. I know for a fact that you can run Align 600 head setup on a Raptor and it makes is fly like a dream... It's this kind of miss- matching " upgrading" and fiddling that has made this hobbie as good as it is and allows it to continue to grow. I found "NOTHING" in the add that was miss-leading. Vario's are not that abundant in Ut... and the fact that Barzucca wasn't aware that the frames were air stars is really not that suprising. He was upfront about the upgrades that he made to the Machine. Hell I didnt' know they were air star frames as it was the only Vario I have ever seen in person... regardless it's a great heli.
Not everyone here can be %100 acurrate all the time.. That is why we post Photo's that allowed you to point out that it had air star parts.
Maybe you should have just Pm'ed him and politely let him know that you believed the parts to be air star and that he might want to investigate that,, instead of trying to humiliate someone and call them dishonest in public post... because if that is what you are doing I guess you are calling me and the guy who sold it to me a liar as well.... This is supposed to be a placed well people can share and learn about a great hobby. If you wanna bash people go some where else...Please

It's alot easier to beg forgivness than to ask permission

I asked a simple question that you or him cant answer. JUST what on that heli is or ever was still origional Vario parts?

Not the tail system,
Not the Head or blade grips,
Not the Head linkage system ie. seesaw arms, washout arms,
Not the side frames,
Not front tray.
Nothing on that helicopter that air star sells is an actual Vario product!
It is all made from air star, nothing air star sells is from Vario, it is all just a copy of Vario parts.

Vario will not sell Anything to him, he is dishonest and they fired him as a dealer many years ago for being a crook.

It is just an air star helicopter.
So,
Why didn't You or him admit it in your posts?

And frankly,
I didn't come down on him at first, it was the fact that AFTER it was pointed out to him that it wasn't a Real Vario, he then made a post on Ebay claiming it was. No "honest" mistake there, he just lied to try and sell his heli. EVERYONE knows if you try and sell it as a air star heli it wont bring near as much as selling it as a Vario would.

You or a couple other newbies can "claim" it is a Vario all you like, that doesn't make it one.
As a Vario dealer recently told me when this post first started, "That heli was Never a Vario heli, and it Never will be a Vario heli. It is just a counterfit copy. Doesn't make it the real thing."


Maybe if you click your heels together three times....?
