Thank you for the advice. I ended up buying the plane tonight. It's dusty but otherwise looks really great and huge with a 10 foot wing span. It was obviously a labor of love for the builder, but like a lot of things there's good and bad.

I couldn't get a good look at the motor because it looks like the propeller has to come off to remove the cowl. However I can see it has a horizontally opposed twin engine. I'm guessing its a DLE 60 CC gas engine. Now the bad. The engine is practically seized up, but as it's been sitting for over ten years I'm not to surprised. Hopefully a good lube and some TLC will bring it back to life.

It came with three Futaba transmitters, a ton of other related parts and a flight box. I'm guessing the transmitter for this plane is a Futaba PCM 1024 72 Mhz. Hopefully its not to outdated. It has Ni Cad batteries so they'll have to go. I wonder if there's a lithium replacement?
The whole package ended up at $280.00 so I don't think I did to badly. I'll post pictures of the plane tomorrow when I've got it into my shop and removed some of the dust !!

I did find a local RC club so I'll be asking them a lot of questions. THANK YOU AGAIN for your advice... I'll be back !!
