Alright, thank you for all the replies. The reason why is I do not know much about rc planes, the kit is balsa, but it is really old and I was given this by an older gentlemen. Coud anyone tell me about it in this forum, if I link pictures, the actual plane and not the value, as I don't want to get in trouble for posting in the wrong spot again :P.
Okay, I'm going to just blurt this out, and remember it's only my opinion.

An older gentleman gave you the kit, probably thinking you would get into the hobby and enjoy building, perhaps enjoy flying, and share the hobby with friends or relatives.

You are choosing to simply sell the item. While that may be appropriate, I believe it would be more appropriate to find someone interested in the hobby and give it to them, like the older gentleman intended.

Or perhaps you could return it to the gentleman, giving him an opportunity to find someone else who would actually get some flying or building experience from the kit.

Best wishes,
Dave Olson
I would agree with you, but I have some beginner planes that I need to fly first, and priorities that require any money I can get, alot of stuff I own is going away. Why crash a kit from 1960-1970s when I could just crash a foam plane for some time first? *Correction, kit came from my Dad from an older man then to me, but if I could financially keep it right now I would along with my paintball guns, and bikes.
