So who's the Tipo 850 seller? Says he's an ex national champion with fading eyesight...
Nice Tipo kit though!

Jason Shulman put together a list of AMA national champions in another thread and Dave Brown is listed as National Champion in 1982...
Flyin' a Tipo too...
Here is a link to the thread I came across:

Yes it is, considering the Arrow fetches about $325, a Hanno NIB w/ pipe and header about $500 and the retracts...Well a member just gave a set away, used, but the price was right. I think you can get a new set on the auction site for under $100.

RE: tiporare somewhere
DB was the first name that came to mind naturally but it just didn't strike me as an auction ad posted by him. Although I haven't met DB, it just didn't strike me as his style. I can't recall the ad details but does it say that the owner was Nats champion in '82 specifically? If so, Ray has the answers for us.
The 850 was clearly a big bird at 70+" wing span and a 65" fuse! I'd say it's better suited to a 90 RE. Is Webra still making these? I think so...

RE: tiporare somewhere
Good point Andy.
Ray...?
Mmm... that Tipo sure would be nice but alas I don't own a 90 RE and don't expect to buy one any time soon. I do own an OS 90 SE which will have to find a home one of these days. Maybe the Super Skybolt would be a good fit at ~9 lbs AUW.

David,
The Skybolt would be awesome with your 90 2 stroke. I father and son, at our field, both had one each. They were.. Arfs. The planes look damn good and flew even better. Maybe I was a little bias, since I love Skybolts. Each one had a 120 4stroke, but I think the 2 stroke would be nice.

RE: tiporare somewhere
Hadn't thought about that. Wouldn't be fitting for a classic pattern fan - it's not our style... [8D]
Still... nice Tipo 850 - the figures are rising. Who's buying !?

RE: tiporare somewhere
When DB left World, he immediately started flying Futaba. Now this is as far as I remember, and do not remember the years. I left World in 1969, got married. I think I am right here. If Dave had this Tipo at his house, the last time I was there, I am sure he would have pulled it out and showed it. At that time, he was building a full scale 'One Design', just waiting on the powerplant. I was up there two years ago, had dinner with Dave, Sally and some other flying buddy's from those day's. If he had a Tipo for sale, some of us would have known about it. Mike M. or Tony F. may be able to put some solid info in here.
