I flew a GMP Competitor many years ago. Had a bad crash eventually and tucked it into the corner of my shop, intending, one day, to rebuild it. Currently I'm flying a LiteMachines and I like the little guys so much, I don't think I'll ever get the Competitor going again. Purely for the sake of nostalgia, does anyone think there's any value in such a machine? Spare main gear and starter belts are included.

Needs main blades and new tail rotor blade grips. On this one, I made a unique, brass tube tail drive with U-joints. Worked well. Also, the sloppy bushings they gave you were replaced with custom, tight fitting units.

I know it's old and obsolete but you never know.

RE: GMP Competitor

Jim,

Yes, the Competitor is for sale.

Pics attached.

As mentioned, no main blades and tail blade grips are broken but also, no canopy/cowl. However, the main gear is virtually new along with the new, spare one. This was a weak area with the Competitor. It had small, fine, spiral gear teeth and you had to be very sure you got the mesh just right.
