Pass on it...

It is this plane with a bunch of "pre-used" cracks and problems.

If you are interested put your own together via one of these ARF's.

Notice that they guy didn't say WHICH retracts are installed as well..

That's a tipoff that they are very cheap retracts, otherwise he would be quite proud of what he put into the plane.

Pass...

He added flaps to this already overweight plane? I wonder what he was thinking? It appears to be in rough condition. Maybe could be restored to be a static display, but for flying, I would pass on it.

He said all the servos installed came with it, it might be good for that price (would have to be at least seven) - if they are not stripped out. According to the engine he had in it, it was way underpowered. Those cracks shown on the tail would scare me off. I would have to see it in person before I bid on it. I wonder what his shipping would be - the wing is pretty bulky.

[:'(] Man oh man that plane is rough. I wouldn't buy it at a sweep meet for more than $20 and that is if he said the servos were good. The plane is a wreck and I wouldn't trust that crack in the tail. I am willing to bet there is more damage once you start checking that plane. I would pass on this one Bass.

hd- I'm not going to bid on it, I was just giving my .02. After seeing this pics, I agree with most that it is very rough - I love the quote that it was build by a 20 year modeler - I guess next time I sell one, I'll use that this, except 25+ years building - I've know a few 20 year modelers that still can't build worth a crap after 20 years. I already have one CMP Zero in the stable. Mine is flap less, fixed gear, and is normally flown with a .904S. It has also been reinforced in the fuse and landing gear. I have not flown it in about 8 months, too many other planes and not enough engines[]
