Ziroli Twin Beech (D18) 114" WS
Up for sale is a used Ziroli Twin Beech equipped with Zenoah G38 Engines and a mixture of Futaba and Hitec servos on the control surfaces (no receiver or batteries included).
I purchased this plane nearly two years ago and have been unable to get it in the air mostly due to lack of time and somewhat due to a flying field which isn't conducive to this size of model. As you can see from the photos the plan has a fair amount of wear and tear and has a had a few repairs over the years. Airframe is structurally sound. You could fly the plane as is or it would make for a great restoration/repaint project due to the various cosmetic issues (this was my original plan but work and life has kept me from doing this). Of note, the toggle for one of the 'kill switches' is broken and will need to be replaced. Fuel tubing should be looked at as well since the engines have not been run in nearly three years.
Plane has Robart pneumatic retracts. Of note, the tailwheel does not currently retract due to repairs from the previous owner. Main wheels are inflatable Robart wheels with plastic hubs (I ordered new valves since one of the wheel is missing its valve.).
If desired, I will include the crate as I built it specifically for this plane.
Plane is located in St. Marys, GA (31558).
If you have any questions, please ask.

Something doesn't look right about the black and white nacelles. In order to reduce glare for the pilots and passengers they should be all black on the inside, not black and white. Also it should be flat black not gloss. And the nose black should also be flat black.
