[RCSE] Icons for sale
OK guys, what's going on. While I normally just read the list and occasionally post a for sale item I just have to comment on this strange phenomenon. My flying buddy Jim Porter has posted a couple of Icons, one RTF and the other NIB and nobody has snapped them up. We're talking about an F3J version with top quality digital JR gear built by arguably the best craftsman I have ever seen. No glued in servos here, everything on mounts. It's balanced and test flown only and is perfect. Oh, and by the way, you could have it next week, no wait! Did I mention a basically free Bag Lady bag in the deal. Guess I'm sounding a little like Gordy here but come on, somebody buy these planes! Rants over. Back to work. Thanks, Randy McCleave RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
I was wondering the same thing, if there's a long wait on these planes, why hasn't somebody bought this. BTW; Jim is the best builder I've ever seen.

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
Randy, As we all know, the Icon is a superior ship with great workmanship courtesy of Don Peters, this no one would deny is a good deal. But you might be seeing that the market is getting to the saturation point to a certain degree. Hey, I understand the frustration of posting a good ship and not getting a bite, but just as any market will show where to price an item, this to me says price is too high and either hold on or lower the $'s required to play the game.

RE: [RCSE] Icons for sale
Mark, I'd agree with your point of view, but as stated earlier, there is over a years wait. As a matter of fact, I got on the list 2 years ago and my name came up when I went to CA to help my dad last November. I asked to be 'set back' 10 spots so I would be home again, better to handle my finances when I was at the top of the list again. My 2 planes and a center section should ship this week, 23 months after I asked to be put on the list. I believe the point made is there are people on the waiting list that could use one or both of these planes and save months to years waiting for a plane. Yes they are high $ but I've personally never flown any other plane that was better at its chosen task. Sure, better flyers can beat me with quote unquote inferior planes, but the Icon is just that, an ICON in the soaring world. If I had enough to buy one of Jim's new ones I would, but my $ is tied up in the two I ordered. Besides, they have awesome special color schemes I designed. That's the only reason I'm selling my used ones, as there is nothing wrong with them at all. I just get to fly one's with color schemes that I like better than RMC's PowerCats adorned wings. Randy, try the USC Trojans emblem next time! ;-) So, if someone is looking for a used Icon at sub $2K prices, let me know. As always, we appreciate everyone's input in these discussions. gv -Original Message- From: Marc Gellart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 1:51 PM To: EXT-McCleave, Howard R; soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale Randy, As we all know, the Icon is a superior ship with great workmanship courtesy of Don Peters, this no one would deny is a good deal.

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
This sounds sensible -- the number of people willing to invest that kind of money maybeclose to being reached. Great plane, no doubt, and a GREAT guy selling them. Buthow many people are there out there who can pony up those kinds of bucks?

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
I figured if Jim doesn't want them something must be wrong with them. Jim has perfect planes. I have even seen pictures of his shop, looks like a clean room at NASA. There are so many choices now. Specially with the strong Euro the other planes are getting more expensive. They must be good at those prices.

Re: [RCSE] Icons for sale
I figured if Jim doesn't want them something must be wrong with them. Really, just too many planes. Something had to go. Jim has perfect planes. These are pretty close to that, especially the untouched F3B one. I have even seen pictures of his shop, looks like a clean room at NASA. That was the shop before the move to Germany. The new one in Johnston is not nearly as neat - YET. 8-) Jim Porter Johnston Iowa USA The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall.

RE: [RCSE] Icons for sale
I wish I could buy one of those Icons but I don't have that kind of money to put into the hobby at the moment. Any way, I would be afraid to toss that kind of plane out at Maluhia because I know that I would put a scratch on it (at the very least) on the very first landing. I'll stick to my cheap stuff and gas bags.
