Default RE: Tiger Tail!!!!

Sorry it took so long but I was finally able to dig the planes out and take a few pictures the Kaos parts and 1 Quikee 500 are sold already but here's the rest. Some are in better condition than I remember them and some are worse. I'll do my best to describe them. The Tiger Tail should probably be repainted. There are 2 repairs to the wing that were done quickly to get it flying again that could be refinished or just fly it the way it is. There is also a crack that needs to be opened up and repaired. The paint is flaking off the the fiberglass fuselage in spots, especially under the engine compartment. I might be able to find the pump to pump up the retracts, but don't count on it. The Dirty Birdi has never been flown and is in great shape except that the canopy has begun to seperate from the fuselage. I was going to glue it back on but I thought someone may want to change out the Snoopy pilot. This is a Balsa Kit with Imeron paint. No other problems. The Top Flite P-51 is in great shape except that the antenna mast is broken off and the plastic exhaust stacks are cracked and coming off. They were glued on top of the monokote so should be no problem to replace. The marking stripes were painted on and most came off when I cleaned it . The stickers are yellowed and could stand to be replaced but they kind of give it a weathered look. 5 channels including flaps. The Quikee 500 is in good condition except for a strip of monokote that ripped off the fuselage near the wing area and under the engine compartment. The horizontal stabalizer is also cracked but could easily be repaired. An extra wing is included but needs a minor repair on the leading edge. This would be a nice, fast flying .40 size sport plane. A canopy would make it look good. The biplane is primed and needs to be finished. I think it was a Bridi kit but I can't remember. The name Astro something seems to stick in my mind, but I can't remember. There is a one inch x two inch piece of balsa broken out by the canopy. I think the covering is something like coverite but I'm not sure. I can't find the hardware or moving surfaces so this one will be a project. These are all well built planes. I also have an H-Ray Trainer plane. While I was taking the pictures my dog stepped on the wing taking out 2 ribs and the monokote. No major structural damage though. I've had a lot of inquiries and I'm not sure what they are really worth. I was thinking of putting them on ebay but I haven't decided for sure yet. I also have a Webra Speed .61 w/ racing and original exhaust. HB .61, Webra 6.5ccm (.40), Cipolla 4ccm (.25 I think) racing engine (brand new), Supretigre .90, and an OS .10
