It sounds like you're hot on buying this, but be careful!

The transmitter is not a computer radio, so you'll be looking to replace it (or buy another one) before long. (Might not be worth more than $50 or $60 today no matter what he bought it for when it was new.)

The Seniorita IS a good flying plane, but as has been mentioned, it's 3 channels, no ailerons, so it's flight capabilities are somewhat limited. (Less than most trainers.)

We don't know anything about the engine, or if the guy who owned it knew what he was doing. If it has been run, it could have been ruined by running lean. Check the compression, feel and listen closely for anything unusual. Does it feel like it has a rough spot when you slowly turn it over? Do you hear a soft clicking noise? Could have bad bearings.

Take the time to look the plane over REALLY well. Stand behind it and look down the fuse to make sure the vertical stab/elevator is in line, look at it from down low too and make sure the horizontal stab is level with the wing. Check out every glue joint that you can see. You should be able to tell if it was built well by the way the joints look, and by how much glue was plastered all over them.

PULL ON THE CONTROL SURFACES, to make sure the hinges were installed properly. Make sure there aren't 1/4 inch gaps. Make sure the control surfaces move freely, no binding. Is the covering fairly tight and wrinkle free? Can you feel any movement of the wood under the covering? Could be cracked or broken wood hidden under there. Is the wood a nice light beige color like new balsa? If it's a grey brown it could have been water damaged, and the glue joints could fail on the first flight.

That will give you a place to start, and maybe give you an idea of why some of us aren't thrilled by it. [&o]
