Default Found Some New In Box

Don't know how may there are but I've found some Paragons and 3 and 2 meter Gnomes New In Box (NIB) Think I can get a decent price on these if anyone is interested.

Tell me more. I'd be interested in a Paragon and/or a 3M Gnome.
Please contact me by email, as I don't check here often.

Geeezzz, Why did I take a few days off from here . . . a new friend met here just sent me Paragon plans and inst. from N.Y. about a week and a half ago. Been looking over them and the Inst. for the past several days and really like the plane. From what I read here, what you have must be gone by now . . . what are you asking?

Boy did I bite off a big one. The 3 meter Gnomes where a third finished at the most. The easy stuff such as sorting and stacking the sticks and the fuse sides were done for about 20. But not the ribs or the wing joiners or most of the other cut and sanded parts. I have been busy. Looks like the end of this coming week to have 20 3 meter Gnomes on hand.

Hi, I have no way myself here to copy the plans but they are from RCM's plan service. The Inst. are a copy of the construction article that appeared in the Mag. I'm sure you could aquire a set from them.

SoCal guy, where did you find the kits? Swap-meet or something? I sure wish it wasn't 'Back to School' time and I didn't have a broken garage door to contend with, otherwise . . . happens everytime there's a good deal, for some reason or another I can't take advantage of it. Story of my life. . . "a day late or a dollar short" Still tho, how much again for those kits? Trade for a NIB OS SFN-H ring .61 heli engine? (orig. $240)

Every kit I've mentioned is sitting on the shelves. The 3 meter Gnomes were "started" but hardly finished. I'm trying to finish up the kits and get them to market. These are great RES ships for a bulder. I need to order some wire and brass tubing for the wing joiners. Also some threaded ends for the push rods.

SoCal, I ASSume by started you mean as in mfg. not as in assembled? Make me a offer I can't refuse (or that I can afford) I'm changing over to DSL service today, I'm not sure if thats going to affect my e-mail address . . . I'll try to PM you about this matter later, if I make the switch sucsessfully.
