A little cool I would think *8-}. NA> I may be interested in this, do you think you could send me all this NA> spec's (esp the weight) and if you have a picture of it could you scan NA> it up and send it to me (Or I could download it.) The plane has a 60 inch wing span and full length airelons. Is 45 inches long. From memory when I built it it was meant to be between 4 to 6 pounds, well I hit it right on the button at 5 pounds. Bright Yellow with Red trimmings (Good colours to see easy). NA> One other thing has it been crashed and if so what was the damage. Yes this did happen about two years ago. A well performed Belly flop. The nose gear folded back and took most of the front out and the bottom plate and cracked the wing 1/3 from the end. This all has been rebuilt like new (no weak points and no extra weight) and the wing is constructed in two harlves, so I rebuilt the broken half completely. One of the best Trainers I have seen flying, not to light or to heavy and Flys straight too. I have been trying to send a picture direct to This BBS but it won't let me o this, sorry but at this point no picture. It is very neat and good condition. Very presentable.

Ok then, assumeing all that you say is true (Which I am sure it is :>), and that when you say radio equipment you mean the controller as well (basically I will be able to take the plane and what not and not have to spend any more money.) I would like to buy it off you. Could you send me you phone number via netmail (Or here so I can call and orgainise payment etc $350 inc P&P wasn't it?)

Is is very good shape, I've only run it twice since I bought it from the guy before me, and from looking at it then I'd say he only run it a couple of times. It just needs a ESC, a Radio system with servo and you'll be ready to go. I'd like to get $50 for it, but would be willing to trade it for a good used 2 Meter Ham Radio Portable. I hope someone is interested in this one as I hate seeing it collect dust on my shelf, but quit messing with it since I got my Tamiya Stadium Blitzer. also my brother has a Kyosho Cessna Cardinal, with Auto Cut-offswitch, has only been flown once, asking $100.00 for it. you pay the shipping, insurance, and shipping on either of them. Thanks, and 73's Lee Loggins Cyberdine Systems, by which others will be judged. --- ProBoard v2.01 [Reg] * Origin: Habersham Connection BBS - Clarkesville, Ga.
