The larger SE5a is an old Top Flite Dave Platt series plane that has come back to me after a crash that split the fuselage in half several years ago. I had put so much work into it and a sister ship that crashed a few years before that, that I gave gave both hulks to a club member about three or four years ago. Last fall I inquired about his restoration efforts and he said that he'd glued the broken fuselage one back together, but the covering was still split and he'd stopped working on them. I told him I'd be interested in buying them both back but he said I could just have them since I gave them to him. The one with the broken fuselage was built by another modeler so I took it to him to see if he could patch up the Sig Koverall and match the paint which he did superbly. It's had one very scary test flight back in the winter when we had a warm spell but hasn't flown since. The other one that I built is missing the entire lower wing and landing gear assembly plus the front end and strut damage.


The smaller one is the new ParkZone SE5 and is a fun flying little plane. I took it Rhinebeck for the Jamboree this past year. The larger 1/6 scale wasn't ready at that time
