From my experiences with them..my question would be... Why would you want one? I would check our their DV8R and forget about the AV8R....

I would agree with Synthetic.

It was my trainer when it came out because thats what was available.

As far as trainers go, there are models light years ahead in handling and flight characteristics.

I have a used PCM Models AV8R that I am now selling without the turbine. This model is an excellent flyer as long as you set the CG correctly. It flies great on a Super Bee or other 14lb thrust turbine and is a breeze to setup.

Let me know if you're still interested in the AV8R and we'll see what we can put together.

There is a Dv8r on the RCU classified adds. The guy wants 8K for it. He spent $1,500.00 for a kit that can be purchased now for $699.00 and he spent $1,500.00 bucks to have someone build it and cover it with monokote (professional build version).

He would have better luck selling it on Ebay where no one knows the value of these things.

Gentlemen,

It appears that I've sold my Super Bee off of the AV8R I had listed. I've modified the price and included equipment list. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

Jeff
