Default The best $75 I have spent in awhile...

I was on 'that auction site" and I found a Global Avance (Pattern ship) RTF with an OS-46FX, standard Futaba servos, switch, RX batt. retracts and retract servo etc. Pretty much turn key... The opening (and later, winning) bid was $75, pickup only about 30 minutes from me so I picked it up on the way to the field, plugged in my RX and flew it!

Flew on rails, retracts worked perfectly (pavement) and it was purty fast even with an unknown brand, unknown pitch chipped black nylon prop. (Graupner?)

My student had soloed last time out so today I took him up and had him doing downwind landing approaches , recovering from spins, recovering from inverted flight, and to finish it off I unplugged the buddy box dropped the cord on the ground and handed him the TX and walked off- I love that part...

He performed perfectly! Great day!
