Guys I'm about caught up with my projects with nothing much left to do this
winter except build a Genie Pro wing once I see a set of cores. I rarely
build except for myself, but would consider building one Genie LT/S for
resale. The LT/S, as I build them, is not suited to rapid production. I work
liesurely and carefully at my own pace. Figure a couple of months once we
have agreed otherwise. I want no money until it is ready to ship.
I would want the recipient to be someone deeply and seriously involved in
traditional thermal competition, who likes to launch and fly aggressively,
who butts heads with top competitors and who is competent to confidently fly
high perfomance ships.
Tell me about yourself, where you fly and about your equipment, so I can
pick someone I would consider a good partner for this ship, who will
appreciate it and not consider it dispensible like some other ARF.
I'm not interested in selling to anyone who just happens to have the money
to buy it. Price below is fixed and a fair one for time and materials
involved. A larger offer means nothing to me.
I can't guarantee perfection, but would build more carefully than I would
for myself. I would want you to provide six suitable servos for me to
install for you. I would do that and complete the wiring harness as part of
the deal. I would need a switch harness and four servo leads with connector
to use on the receiver side of the harness. I would need two servos for
flaps with full length leads attached. Aileron servos will be soldered to
the harness at the servo end.
Servos would be installed using Mark Drela's cantilever mounting system in
which servos do not touch the skin. I would install my all-internal Rotary
Driver System using the Kimbrough Products couplers with my own custom made
shafts and pockets. I would use tempered aluminum coupler tops on the flap
servos.
I only have JR receivers now and am best set up to deal with JR micro
servos. 341's are fine for all applications except flaps. For those, 351's
are just fine. I have some 368's in a big Genie, but consider them overkill
for the LT/S. Maximum thickness is 1/2", but I do not want those thin "wing
servos" for which there is no RDS adapter to fit the output gear.
You can see pics of the LT/S in File 10 of the Genie pages at
http://genie.rchomepage.com/. Some are in the Gallery file. I have many
others I can e-mail. File 1,2 and 3 detail construction. Look over these
files to be informed. Once I have decided on a buyer, assuming I get one, we
can talk colors and trim. Glassed over LE's come with a glossy painted
finish. The only tape used is the reflecting type.
Price will be $845, your servos and RDS installed. A comparable moldie
would cost you another $500 or so. Figure about $60-$70 to ship. US only.
