He/she has a $1500 reserve - pretty low. Also note that this person joined yesterday.

Nice deal, however, I think I would run the serial number through with Jetcat, USA. The seller has already posted the serial number on the auction. The price, the fact that it is a NIB Jetcat P70 and, last, but not least, the seller just joining and has no feedback would raise a large red flag for me. Also, whoever makes the purchase would be well advised to have protection on his payment.

must be US origin

has a weird fod.
has a bvm uat in the box.
the battery is not original it is 3300 instead of the stock 1200
it has kerostart plug hence the large battery
aks the guy what version of 5.0 it has?
if this is all of it it is a bargain , if it is new>?

thing is he does not mention it that is is upgraded to kerostart (175 usd extra?)
extra battery (50usd)
uat 65 usd
he just uses the standard description

We've got board members in the Mobile area who I'm sure would be more then happy to check into it further for anyone interested, Andy Anderson or Rob Baker (owns the Hobby Towns in Mobile) would likely know the person if this is a legitimate sale.

"0" feedback. still "0" bids... If you look at it. the back of the case looks like it has run hot.
The case on mine started looking slightly burned after 6 flights. This one looks the same.
It wasn't that way when I got it.

Causing buying stuff on Ebay or use market. Do more research before you even put in the bid. If the person whom sell the engine is among one of us. He had no problem sell that engine at $2200 in 5 mins.

I sent Nurse Fletcher a question on ebay - I asked what is your AMA waiver number? This is the response I received today...you be the judge.


Dear jlittle,

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that is. I've been a nurse for 30 years, and served in the US Army for 6 years. My ass of an ex-husband decided to spend my paychecks on useless toys (I'm sorry, I know they are quite nice, but not when the mortgage needs to be paid). I am simply trying to liquidate some of these assets to catch back up on the bills. I know quite little about RC hobbies, I apologize, but I can submit references as for my authenticity. Thank you for looking.

Sounds legit to me, she is willing to send proof of her authenticity and her story sounds reasonable. Any purchase made on eBay should be protected anyways, Paypal!!

Tam: I typed that exact phrase in my last post (actually 2300.00) but decided to take it out.
You are exactly right.

some took the fun out of it its way up now. there was no need to bid on this item all they had to do was add a BIN for an amount of 2000 and she would have had cash right away

Mine looks like that after about 5 starts.

Do you think the hubby would have tried to sell it first? Can she liquidate " his assests only " but not her's? I am sure he is very mad if this story is correct..

Ooooor may be Tam emailed her and convinced her to buy an F-16 from him and learn how to fly jets. That would pi$$ her husband off big time!!
revenge is sweet!

Maybe she realized how much it is worth and will relist it and try to pay the mortgage AND the car payment.
