rmenke -> RE: Used Q40 planes (9/28/2007 10:23:05 PM)

ECO:
Q-40's are expensive unless you build your own from a kit, then still expensive compaired to the simple arfs in kit form. They are designed and proven before they go on sale to the public, sometimes years into the design, so the R & D is expensive. You occasionally see a unusual sale on these things from people who get started and something strange happens to make the project unfeasable. Lead time from some of the guys building are around 6 months, so a lot can hapen. I waited 7-8 months for one out of unusual circumstances, and ran into eyesight problems in the intrum. So, there is a $650.00 Ashley on the ceiling waiting for my eyes to be corrected if possible. Why would a person discount a new plane? There are occasional decent deals out there for anything, but you have to be there at the right time. The $650. numer is ball park, what mine with base pait coat, tailfeathers on, motor mount in. cost from one of the best builders around. If the e-bay plane is a good flyer, may be a good one fo you. With a good engine, you are looking at near or over 200 mph. Can be a short expensive flight if you are not used to these things, things happen vary quickly. Best of luck, we all started with something like this. ENJOY
