RE: tiporare somewhere
Mystery seller of the Tipoare 850?
I have no idea who it is and would contact the seller via Buy-Bay as you have tried. The pink airplanes pictured a few threads ago are more than likely Donny Weitz's, former manager of Circus Hobbies, great guy and pilot.
Powering the larger models? I flew the latest iteration of the Tiporare in 1989/90 powered by an O.S. .61 rear exhaust with pump (?) and it was able to do everything of the time including gigantic knife loops.
