Re: [RCSE] Planes for sale

2005-07-17 Thread Keith

In response to inquiries:

Sharon 3.7m Profi X-tail in good shape: $1050 plus shipping, no Rx.

Nearly new AVA (RES), just a few flights: $750 plus shipping, no Rx. 
Kennedy Composites custom bag for the AVA: $100


2m Organic completely RTF: $500 plus shipping

Sharon and AVA do not have Rx's, so any radio will work just fine.
I'm on a trip right now, and I can't remember what servos are in either of
those models.  I'll email or post the details as I remember them or when I 
get

home next Friday and can physically look the planes over.  AVA is available
with a custom bag from Kennedy Composites.

The Sharon had some fuse pushrod/tail linkage binding issues, so I finally
ended up removing the stock glass fiber wrapped wire pushrods and replacing
them with solid .066 carbon rods from ASC, after doing some work on the
elvator bellcrank and rudder pushrod attachment point.  The area I cut open
is under the horiz. stab on the lower left side of the vertical fin.  Put in
some thick balsa stock to help anchor the glass skin when I epoxied it back
in place.  The repair is not pretty, but is very strong and functional.  Now
both the elevator and rudder move with no binding or slop.  The servos are
much happier now!  The fuse servos are a pair of new Hitec HS-225's, fed by 
a

new 1100mah, 5-cell NiMh battery.  I still can't remember what servos are in
the wings.  For sure I'll know by Friday!

Organic is set up with Futaba Rx and new HS-81 Hitec servos in the fuse. 
Flap servo is a
Volz Micro-maxx.  Can't remember what kind of micro servos are in the 
ailerons.
Comes with a Futaba 8ch PCM 1024 Transmitter.  Already programmed correctly 
with launch and thermal

camber, crow mode enabled at half flap, and all elevator compensations
dialed in for flap/crow/camber modes.  You can literally just charge the
batteries in the Tx and the plane and launch this baby in a contest and win 
(glider flying/contest winning skill not included)!

It is dialed in and C.G. is pretty optimal.

Trying to understand the symbolism here of ICON.

The plate is the America Remembers series. $25 is donated to a fund for 
victims of terrorism and local governments for training, equipment and 
other items related to public safety initiatives intended to prevent 
further acts of terrorism or other disasters or emergency situations in 
Illinois.


Illinois has too many specialty plates, very confusing.

Agreed.  I have owned a Corvette since January 1, 1955 when I bought 
a Pennant Blue 1954 Corvette.  It was followed by a yellow 1955 and 
Venusian Red and Shoreline Beige 1957.  Still have the 57 since I got 
married shortly afterwards and couldn't afford another one.

[RCSE] Priced reduced? Sapphire ready to fly

2005-07-17 Thread Mike Remus



Mike RemusLOFT Glider ClubFort Wayne INLSF Level 5 
#112Remember; Think small. Big ideas upset others!

I really need money for Sharon parts. Sapphire is reduced to $475.00
For Sale: Sapphire by 
Airtronics. This bird was built 6 or 7 years ago but flown 
very little. Servo's are Airtronics 141 metal gears on flaps, JR 341's on 
ailerons and JR standard size ball bearings in the nose. No Rx or battery. 
On a scale of one to ten, from the top side it is a 7 or 8, very nice 
looking. On the bottom side I would give it a 5 or 6, average 
condition. It has scrapes and dings. It launches very well and flys 
great, easy to land also. Sapphires have a very good reputation using the 
7037 airfoil. $ 600.00 plus $30.00 for boxing and shipping Con. USA. 
I can deliver it to Lansing MI this Sat. June 16th or in Muncie IN during 
the NATS monday through Friday. e-mail me direct if interested.
I can send pics directly to you.

If eBay rules and policies have been broken then take it up with eBay.
Posting on RCSE has little effect if any in remedying the situation.  The
auction was set for a few days and questions could have been asked about
what was being offered for sale.  EBay is a wild, wild world and let the
buyer beware.

I don't know if it is Ebay rules or not, but I see people frequently 
charges 50.00-100.00 for shipping. They sell a LCD monitor for 59.00 
but charges 60.00 for shipping. I guess Ebay does collect percentage 
on shipping?
