RE: You Guys Are Gonna Hate Me!
Pay no attention to what all the other guys said !! That particular kit has been reported to be infested with the dreaded Amazon balsa beatle. Fortunately for you, I have the only antidote that will kill those pesky little critters !! I will be glad out of the goodness of my heart to help out a fellow modeler in such a mess as you are . I'll give you the money you paid for the infested model + full shipping to my house. As soon as I recieve it, I will decontaminate it & uhh, send it right back to you. Yeah, Yeah, that's the ticket. All kidding aside, what a deal !!! That'll make a beautiful plane. Be sure to give us plenty of pics !!

I could hardy believe my eyes when I saw the "50.00" on the box. Couldn't open my wallet fast enough! Another member bought a Tiger 60 kit for $25, but I think I got a better deal

What a great find, I hope. My first thought was the box looked a little light as if some of the parts were missing. I sure hope it's not the case here.
I once bought a Great Planes Cherokee on E-Bay at a great price only to discover the parts required for the fuselage were not with the kit. I knew there was a problem when the package arrive in that the package didn't weigh anywhere close to what the full kit would weigh. There wasn't any fraud involved as the seller had purchased the plane from an estate sale and was not the original owner. My money was refunded, but my good deal disappeared.

Yup, that's a score to remember, but no, I don't hate you, I got one of those too, with all the glass option parts sitting in my basement, along with the ultimate beside it. It's a great kit and a better flier than most other bipes that are currently offered. Now you gotta go find a pica jungmiester bipe to keep it company at the flight line.

That's an awesome score! I built one 14 years ago and still have it. Finish was fabric and paint, powered with a Saito 1.50. Paint scheme was the same as the box art and it never failed to turn heads at the field. Good luck with your Bucker and keep us posted on the build.
