Speaking of Highlanders That's what I learned flying a full
house plane with. I actually trashed one on a zoom launch into a
stiff wind. That's significant because they are nearly
indestructible. ;-)
Anyway I still have my second one. It's beat up, but still
flies and would be a good plane for a beginner. It has full flaps
and ailerons. Comes with all servos, no battery or Rx. Free to a
good home, you cover shipping. Now here's the deal. I do have a box
that someone sent me a 2M wing in. It's plywood and I'd have to cut
the tailfeathers off the fuse, but gluing them back on shouldn't be a
big deal. I've no idea how much it would cost to send that box
anywhere, it's not all that heavy, just big. If interested contact
me off line and let's see if we can work something out.
No, I'm not gonna give it to someone just so they can rip the servos
out, I do want to get it to a beginner or better yet, some club that
wants to use it as a trainer for raw newbies. (It'd be a great slope
plane for beginners to learn how to use all those control surfaces.)
Obviously if you can come by my digs and just pick it up, great, I
can still use the box as a jello mold.
Cheers,
Bill
