Default RE: Interesting Find - HAL 2100 Autopilot

was it working? what do you want for it? do you have paypal?
anyone else have one?

i've turfed my F-86 several times and the last time it sucked up a piece of clay dirt and shot a plume of dust 10 feet in the air!
gutted the turbine and pooched the motor too. punched in the mouth so bad i trimmed it off and have modified a large yogurt
container to make a new nose to distribute the shock across more of the front end a'la crash bumper. gonna place a piece of
custom-fit black plastic canvas (5 pitch per inch) as an air duct guard to keep out the big stuff and the wheat stubble.
looks a little more like a SUPER SABRE now.
and i got an EDF cause i thought i'd just break props off the corsair!
too windy where i live, not many good flying days, when i get a slight gust i usually loose control.
i'm ordering a couple gyros, and bidding on a hal2100 now, but i'm getting a GWS ME-262 and really dont want to ground it.
the ME-262 is the only thing more cool than the F-86 in my opinion, and the thing that gets me is i actually have more money in the f-86!
since they dont make an avro arrow.
im happy with the F-86 as a trainer/ rough weather flyer. i use a keychain spycam and have great shots of the ground jumping up to hit me!
anyone try to modify a ww2 f4-u4 corsair, gut(hollow) the fuselauge, open the ass end and mount an edf in the nose cowl instead of a prop? something i might do.
