Hey everyone, I have been thinking about selling my whiplash lately. I don't have it in the classifieds yet because I am unsure of whether or not I do want to sell it.
I haven't flown it, but now that it's winter up here with sub zero temperatures all day long I know it's going to be another 5 months before I can even think about flying it anyway (no I do not winter fly LOL)
Also, I look at the investment into this airplane and kind of call myself crazy for what it is. Sure it's not anywhere near the cost of my jets, but it's still alot of money for something I've never even flown.
So I guess it comes down to, would I get reasonably close to what I have into it?
Here is what it has
Whiplash Can/American flag scheme
Custom airbrushed bottom with maple leaf and American flag inside the leaf
West 50VI engine with custom wrap around header from Weston UK and pipe only ground run with APC8x8 getting 21,000 on the ground.
JR8231 digital servo's on modified elevons (cut the elevons out and rehinged them to help with how stiff they were)
JR507 servo on throttle mounted inside radio bay.
Of course I would keep the receiver and battery.
In total I have about $800 into this thing not counting the stupid high shipping cost I had to pay into Canada with broker fee's etc.
So, I suppose the big question is, how much would you be willing to pay for a new turnkey Whiplash with this engine on it. If I can't get reasonably close to what I have into it I will keep it and fly it, but with everything else I have, I don't really need the whip I guess
