    Item Description:

    This is a RTF Der Jet Cougar. This jet has approximately 15 flights. Last flight was about 1 year ago.  From what I remember the right main gear stuck a little in the down position.  The locking edge on the rail needs to be filed to smooth out the up and down operation of the right main gear. I think one elevator servo was acting weird, not sure.  The turbine is an RTI 2800 SE which works flawlessly. The tail hook cylinder is leaking so its disconnected.  Basically, I would recommend a complete "go through" to make sure everything is working right.  All the batteries are fromeco.  All the servos are 8611 on the flaps, rudder and ailerons.  Miscellaneous high end servos every where else.  I installed a gyro on the rudder which really smoothes out  the flight. The weathering on this jet is very nice.  This jet has never been crashed.  All the flights were uneventful. The RTI turbine is plenty for this airplane, it has 28 lbs of thrust.  The take offs are very easy and smooth and the landings are a little hotter than the usual sport jet. This jet sticks to the runway once landed.  I recommend a minimum of 550 ft of asphalt runway for operation.  I do not recommend flying this jet on grass as the flaps hang low and during the landing flare they may catch on the grass. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  I will sell RTF or without the Turbine.  RTF $6,000.00  Without Turbine $4250.00.  I will not ship this jet, must be picked up, or will drive up to 100 miles to deliver.

    WHY IT'S CRITICAL FOR BUYERS TO USE THE "MAKE OFFER" FORM VS. EMAIL

    I am a very honest person. I have listed, in the ad, the problems that need to be addressed. This is a great deal for a bind and fly jet. I would expect any buyer to go through the entire model, as I would, before flying. I cant go less than 6k. If you need references you can contact, Eric Clapp, Bill Hatcher, Jose Figueroa, Pablo Fernandez, Robbie Lynch, Rei Gonzalez, Manny Sanchez, Jorge Escalona.....I can list many more. All well known jet pilots and forum members. I hate to see this beauty hanging from the ceiling of my garage (hint: no hangar rash). I am not flying much anymore, its difficult for me to get down to the jet field 45 miles away. I would say the overall condition is near new/just assembled. I think it has a small under wing-tip skin scrape. Let me know if you are still interested. Alex.

    I would not wait too long to buy this Cougar. I have personally witnessed all the flights. As far as honest I could not say enough about Alex. His building and flying skills are amoung the best in our club. He was responsible for getting me into jets and has been a great friend and flying buddy for many years.

    Something is suspicious with this person "mill_foster". He's posted the exact same question on several different things for sale all over RCU. Sometimes multiple times on the same item. Just thought I'd let you know.

    Thanks for the "Heads up" on that one. I thought that was a weird post.

    I agree, Mill Foster sounds scary and here why. A while back I was selling a Harley on Craigs list and the words "is this your final offer" and are you an honest person kept coming at me.

    It was a scam. What they do is send you a certified bank check with additional money added for shipping. They ask for you to send them the shipping money and they will have some one pick it up. No one ever shows up to pick it up and about 3 weeks later your bank tells you that the check is no good and screwed you are.

    I would only deal through Pay Pal or cash. Just what I would do

    I have dealt with Alex (Vetagator) and he is as honest as they come. We did a large Skymaster Viperjet transaction and it was smooth as can be. Great guy and quality RCU member. Buy with confidence guys!
