Hello, first time here and first post. As much as I've always liked the RC hobby I've never really had time to take it up. I have, how ever, come into a box of old gas powered RC airplane parts. A friend of my mothers gave it to me. Her husband passed away years ago and this was some of his old stuff.
I can post all of the pictures you need, I just need help ID'ing and possibly selling all of it.
I have in total 13 engines. Some turn, some don't. Some large, some small. One in particular that is new in box, still in the plastic with the instructions and pamphlet. It's an MRC Enya .15 IV TV. It also has the muffler (what appears to be a strap on muffler?) in the plastic, in the box as well.
18 propellors, 13 plastic, 5 wood.
4 fuel tanks, I think. That's what I would assume they are.
4 fuel cut off timers.
A new in box, Top Flite Mono Kote heat sealing tool. Still in the plastic inside the box.
Any info you could provide would be wonderful. Thanks in advance!
Gavin
Do post pictures. You say "plastic props." Are they the very old Tornado, Top Flite, etc.? No good except for collectors.
"Fuel cutoff timers:" Are they very old pneumatic style, or are they the spring type. Makes a difference and normally for Free Flight.
Engines: The only place to get top attention is eBay. Lots of collectors. Prices change daily. I have seen prices change there, on engines, especially collector items by several hundred dollars in a week. I have done from poor to excellent and back.
But that is where the collectors are and also the bargain hunters.
