New, old K140E found
I couple months ago I went to the LHS to get the usual ( glue, screws, some balsa ) the airplane side sup tells me he has something that I may be interested on ( I've know him for over 19 years ) to my surprise, I see in its pristine looks, a K140E mounted on a test stand, I deduct by the color of the can it is an E version, I looked at it over and could tell that it was very possible that it had never been mounted on an airplane, all shinny, no signs of damage anywhere, with a fod screen on, all the components were there....... two months later ( yesterday ) it was runing in my garage for the first time in at least 5 years, TT 2:45 hrs, I had to go through the ECU to change a couple of things that were selected wrong for that model, clean the fuel filter and pump, tested the components, aligned the ECU with a reciver and run it, very energetic start and crispy throttle response, very happy with my finding ( or it found me ) and the deal I made with him, was to die for, a jewel from the pass, practically new, this will be my second Kintech engine, I will take this engine as my X-mass present 
Now there my be an F16 for me in the near future.

Was that the one in the case down at RC Country? I’ve seen that thing a bunch of times and never even thought to ask how much.. Good deal for you!
