RE: Maybe Someone here?
I answered this in his other thread but wasn't as blunt as Mike. In the other thread there are some better photos after the pickers cleaned things up. The trainer is about the only thing in the pile worth someone like me even looking at and it would have to be a look while it was in my hands, not in a photo. To give an idea of the price on something like the trainer I would go maybe $25.00 depending on the condition and type of engine. Usually guys moving up to different planes will give me there old trainers so I can teach other pilots. I have a number of engines and gear I can use in these planes so nothing is about the correct price. New in box kits are worth what the market will bear and some old kits sell for very high prices. Shipping is the big killer these days and I buy very little these days from out of area shops unless it's something I can't get from my LHS. If you know what you are doing then picking at garage sales can be worth while. Picking from photos isn't going to work for most RC people. Old choppers are about worthless unless someone is looking for parts to get one of there old birds flying again. They cost too much to repair and sometimes parts are hard to find.
