What do you all think a NIB kit is worth.......? Got one sitting in the closet, might want to sell it to make way for a new "next generation" Extra.

If you go to Facebook and look up "Houston R/C Swap shop" you will see one listed.

a hundred bucks shipped to my house!

Unfortunately not what it's worth. Not sure in US, but here probably $200-$250 would see you in front and the buyer is getting a great plane. Pardon the pun. :-)

I won't let e go for less that $400 I can leave the kit in the closet and build it later....

What did you pay for it at the swap meet? That would be a good gauge on resale price for you. Good luck at $400 (I hope you didn't pay that much), with the stuff available these days I would have thought that's a little pricey. As I say, absolute beautiful model and a classic, but you need to look around at what one could get for that much.... Keep it in the closet...

Just sold one for $450.

Good stuff. Maybe worth more than a few here think including myself. Wish there were more parts around OZ.

I have one more NIB that I will probably keep. The plane is very scale looking to the full scale 300S. I like the sheeted wings and heavy build as it is not a light weight 3D china machine.

Try to keep my eyes out for spare parts....the one I am flying has almost 500 flights now!

Speaking of spare parts - I am in need of a canopy for my Extra. Anyone out there have one they could part with?

Noticed Sammano's Hobbies in League City Texas has a New In Box kit and a Bind in Fly completed bird ready to go both for sale. If anyone is interested
I am sure the ship as well......

I would like to have your wreckage if you crashed your PW and can't or don't want to fix it I want all the pieces if you could pack it up and send it to me. Why ? well I can go through the pieces and copy them into Autocad and recut these kits on a laser cutter to bring them back. PM me if you have questions, I'll pay the shipping. I already have the cowl, canopy gear, wheel pants, but would like to have the rest instead of you throwing it in the trash.

Great idea, a lot of people comment that this model should still be going. Patty has been discontinued for some years now, I doubt it but would Great Planes part with the plans now? If they don't want to bring it back with the interest around why not let someone else do it.

Hey fella's. I am converting my old GP Patty Wagstaff from glow (Moki 1.8) to a DLE-55. Does any one recall if the fuel tank stopper that came with the kit is ok to use with gasoline?

Spend a couple of dollars and get a new brown colored DuBro.....

Money is not the problem. No LHS is the problem....
Guess i had best order one, then there will be no worries.

Yeah I got tired of not being able to find the appropriate type anywhere locally as well. Now I just keep a few around since I have a number of gassers and have not figured out a way to get the old stopper back in when I change the clunk lines. Worst part of needing one, is that the shipping from Tower or such, will cost about five times what one stopper will cost and that's why I keep some extras around as well.

I would expect that included stopper to be for glow.

I am finishing my patty I have two questions.
First how do you see the pants I have installed a TNT landing gear I suppose is taller than scale so i opted to have the pants with more clearance do you think I should angle them a bit more so they are leveled when in flight?

Second the pitot tube is the alignment fine in respect of the wind chord and wind flow? it seems it is not perfectly parallel to the wingtip, but I have seen pictures of the real airplane and the pitot is not parallel to the wingtip either
Thanks.

Personally i would bring the back of the wheel pants down just a touch, they should be "in flying position". The pitot tube looks perfect from the side view but hard to see in the top view, however, it should be parallel to the center-line of the fuselage.

Fulcrum2111

looking at this pictures some real extras have also the pants a little more leveled in ground than others, I like it better because maybe they are less prone to damage with ground dont you think?

My Feedback: (2)

Usually level on the gear produces a slight angle on the ground. Not noticeable to in the air as it looks level tail up.

Fulcrum2111

so you think mine is fine?

TOFAST4U2C

My Feedback: (2)

There is usually an indent in the pant if my memory is correct so I didn't have much choice.

Fulcrum2111

yes that is for the center but then you can rotate the pant to get it more angled or less

One of the prettiest airplanes I ever owned.

Thank goodness, that made it easy to sell (even after I warned the guy that it was a terribly heavy plane).

Fly it scale and it is ~ ok.

Me I'm glad that what is made today in the same wing size is lighter.
