Default Looking for a BVM Bobcat XL/Bobcat Composite?

Anybody have a BVM Bobcat XL in good condition that they want to get rid of. Been looking to get one for a long time now and have decided to jump on the opportunity. Looking for one RTF minus turbine as I have a new VT-80 waiting for a home. Open to all suggestions and offers. Thanks

I'll email a buddy who has one. He told me a couple of weeks ago he wanted to sell his.

I've only got 1500 or so flights on mine so far. I might consider selling it when it gets up around 3-4,000 flights.

I doubt you will find one that cheap.
The original price of the kit alone was around $1800-$2000.
The landing gear, wheels/brakes, struts, fuel tanks, and engine install kit added up to another $1200 or so.
Throw in another $600-$700 worth of servos and you are up to nearly $4000, and that's not even counting glue, wiring, or finishing materials.

You certainly shouldn't pay full replacement price for a 10 year old used model, but I doubt anyone is going to let a well maintained model in good condition go for less than half of what they have in it.

Well lots of jets here go for half of what was in them when new...just have to be quick when they show up :-) But yes I realize it would be a great deal and of course a rarity...

Thanks Binson...talking to Buck this morning about his...will give George a shout too.  Didn't realize he was selling his.  Was just talking to him about it when we were in MS and he didn't mention that it was for sale. Thanks for the heads up...

I know this is an old thread but we would be interested in a gently used composite BobCat. Please PM me if you're interested. Thanks. JJ
