Ok, everyboby I have a Saito 56 thanks to bubbagates. Now I need a trainer airframe if you have one you don't need or want PLEASE let me know and I can maybe pay for all of shipping. I'll make you the same promise I made bubbagates which is that when I get my disabilty started I'll give back to Pay it forward. Thanks again bubba
Thank you for your time.
I just wanted to let everyone know just how good of a person Mike is.
Here is the story of the dumb thing I did and how Mike dealt with it.
I had agreed to send him a Saito I had plus some props and servos to go with it. He agreed to cover the shipping and I preceeded to get the engine out of the plane and pack it up. During the removal I needed to remove the needle valve to get the cowl off, no big deal.
I then preceeded to pack up everything and ship it. Well last night I was out in the workshop and I happen to feel something under my foot. I look down and there is a high speed needle all bent to heck from me stepping on it. After a few seconds I realized where it was from.
So now I feel like crap because I just sent this engine off with no needle valve in it and have just bent the crap out of the one that belongs to it. So after a few minutes of searching Horizon's web site I order a new valve and have it shipped to Mike directly and the sent a PM to him to apologzie for the idioctic mistake on my part.
Not even an hour later he Paypals me a few bucks. Now I even feel worse because I now felt like he thought I was asking for payment but I was not.
So Mike, since you have not responded to my PM, if you read this, thanks for the payment but it was not needed and my PM to you was not intended to ask for any payment.
Now the reason I am mentioning this at all is he is still looking for a trainer kit. What I am looking to do it get a few people together that are willing to throw, say $20.00 or whatever you can afford, into a pot and since I work at my LHS partime I can order him a kit or ARF which will depend on the total amount of funds that we get together. I figure on letting this run for at least a week, maybe 2 weeks
If you are interested in doing this, please PM me. DO NOT post the reply to this thread as I would like this to remain completely private among the people who participate in this.
The engine he got was a Saito 56 with props ranging from 11X5 to 12X6. I am thinking along the lines of an LT-40. Any other kit or ARF ideas is more than welcome
