what is this plane?
 

<div>Picked this up yesterday
it's wingspan is 64" &amp; it's 4 feet long, has retractable wheels in the wings, 1 broke off, guy says $5 fix
big 4 stroke motor, buddy says those are $400......?
I got it as payment, owed $500
someone said value could be $800-900
I would be happy to get my $500
I have never flown one of these, &amp; don't think I should learn on this big boy, a $100-200 trainer might be better.
I'm going to put it in 4sale section, but would like to know how to describe it, radio might be a 7 channel?

pretty big to ship too, I'm in nor-cal</div>

RE: what is this plane?
 

cool, thx
I'll get this posted up asap.
Be a shame for me to wreck this thing, lol

RE: what is this plane?
 

is that complete?
so I got ripped, this is worth $259 total, + they give free shippinghttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../cry_smile.gif

RE: what is this plane?
 

No the $259.00 is just the plane. It does not include motor or radio in that price. Depending on what 4 cycle you got and how much time it has on it, you did okay. Good Luck, Dave

RE: what is this plane?
 

No that one on horizon hobby is not complete it is an ARF and still needs the rx, 5 servos, Tx, Battery and the Engine if you got this for your $500 depending on what is installed in it is good deal. Iwould Love this plane but imcompletly addicted to planesand thats all i want, and my wife hates it... :(

RE: what is this plane?
 

before you list it, you might want to find out excatly which engine and servos it has, otherwise your going to get asked several times. "what motor and which servos" does it have, but you should be alright

RE: what is this plane?
 

yup
buddy just called &amp; told me to get pics of those parts.
Will Do :)

RE: what is this plane?
 

You might get your money back out of it. You'll probably do better selling the plane and radio seperately.

RE: what is this plane?
 

You won't have any trouble selling the radio.
You may want to sell the radio and receiver together and part out the plane.
A 4 stroke motor can hit $200-300+ pretty quick new.
$5 to fix the motor. I guess it could depend on what's wrong with it.

RE: what is this plane?
 

I see that model is rated for a .82-100 4 stroke.
If it runs out nice new they are $260-300 for the .82 and more for the 100 needless to say.

RE: what is this plane?
 

Thanks for the extra pictures. Airframe is trashed, retracts twisted and broken, engine rusty on outside so probably had rust inside. You were taken advantage of if you really got this for a $500 debt. The airframe has little value to anyone who sees all the pictures. The engine needs taken apart and examined. The radio most likely is ok but needs examined to be sure. Even if parted out there is no way you can get $500 unless you intend to  take advantage of someone. Take it back and get your $500 or part it out for a couple hundred. Just my honest assessment of the photos you sent me.

RE: what is this plane?
 

greathttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...n/drowning.gif

only rust on motor are the steel bolts that are not painted.
no idea what you see on airframe to say trashed, I would like to know. please share.
retracts are copper tube, look like they bend easy, &amp; one broke off &amp; gone, so I assume he crashed it &amp; they bent one, broke other, bend it back???

RE: what is this plane?
 

wow, those are strong words for a few pics.. Lets see the what you are talking about?

RE: what is this plane?
 

wow, I just got the pics that old vet got..  I don't see all these horrible things he is claiming to see..  Post up the pics for all to see..  Maybe his oldvet eyes are failing him

RE: what is this plane?
 

Pics I received showed left side of fuse damaged , the cowl appears damaged, bent and broken gear, rust on bolts, indicative of rust possibly inside the engine (have to take the engine apart to see for sure) . that's whats visible in the pics I was sent. If the pictures are inaccurate then maybe there were unwanted reflections or other issues with the pics but that is what they looked like to me.  The pictures posted here now are not as bad and it appears the fuselage has a reflection  between the numbers and the insignia so my assessment of the fuse may be wrong but it appeared damaged in the copies I got.  Additionally not all the pics that were sent to me are posted here. Clearly the plane had a very hard landing  or was crashed as the OP states in Post 14. Good luck with your sale .

RE: what is this plane?
 

I took another 20 pics
only odd thing on finish is the blue looks to be a decal covering, not paint &amp; has lots of bubble streaks when it was aplied, or gases escaped &amp; formed.
anyone wants them let me know

RE: what is this plane?
 

edited my add, want it gone $350http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../cry_smile.gif

RE: what is this plane?
 

I posted my phone number in your for sale add. I am in Lincoln and interested in your plane. I have another just like it with a YS 110 and for some reason I would like another in case I scatter the first one. I work nights and I am guessing you work days, so perhaps this weekend would be the best time for me to come and look at what you got.


Thanks


Mark

RE: what is this plane?
 

I went and bought the plane and having it, my honest assessment is Darren offered me an excellent deal. The airframe is great, the motor is either new or has only been ran a few times. The radio did not power up, but probably only needs a good charging. Everything in the plane looks like it has maybe one flight on it. The flight that tweaked the landing gears. Over all everything is an easy fix and all I have to say is thank you Darren and I wish I had more time to chat with you about some of the other things you do, but I had to get home and get to work. Thanks again.

thx, hope you enjoy it, good meeting you.
