Default Alabama Deal

I saw this on craigslist and it looks like a deal. Too far from me!

I'd jump on it!....even if the servos are crap....the rest is certainly worth $100 bones.....heck....I got a couple Techs in Muscle Shoals......I could have one of them box it up and send it to me.....if I weren't knee deep in airplane projects as it is....

That looks more like the Hobby Barn Super Curare.

I just got back from looking at that plane. It's at a flea market about 45 minutes from the house. Not a 4 stroke at all. It's got a small Ryobi gas engine in it which I was told was just put there for looks. The plane itself is in good shape but I noticed the wing was held on with wood screws. I was told the guy who owned it (he wasn't there yet) had bought it in Huntsville, AL. so maybe one of the Huntsville boys might recognize it.

I was interested in it mostly hoping it had a big 4 stroke in it but no such luck. As it is I wouldn't have paid half that much for it but I'm not in the market for a pattern plane either.
