So I am thinking about selling my Icepoint 2M airframe and would like to know what its worth. All it needs is a fuel tank, engine and engine mount. It has Futaba S9402 on all surfaces. It has had very few flights on it and in excellent shape. Frame costs $500 new and servos cost $300 for all 5. So what can I expect to get for it? Thanks

$250-350 tops

I agree..

Pretty dated design. Good quality analog servos, again pretty dated. Shipping is not very realistic because the cost of crating and shipping will approach the $250-350 plane cost.
+2 for the price range with local pick up.
good luck.
you might get more by separating the servos from the airframe.

Had one back in 2006 when I started in Masters, great flying plane. I agree dated, yet great for a beginner in pattern.

Hi Bill,
I completely agree that it would be an excellent first or second pattern ship. The biggest drawback is that it is glow powered as pattern seems to be largely e-power these days. Probably could be converted to e-power with a bit of effort.

I'm told that shipping by bus is fairly ecomomical. Tracking isn't the best but the package usually gets there.

I've shipped a couple of airplanes and a $3000 digital piano via Grayhound. I was more than happy with the service and cost. There was an option for 'express shipping' or something - I wished I had used that for the first shipment, which was long distance and took a few days. It would have been a more direct route with less handling, but the plane made it just fine. I believe the cost was around $80 for a 1.10 bird in a custom crate.

I think that plane is old enough to look cool at a contest

Decided to keep it. Servos will go in my 60 size P47, and will look into electric. I am told a big 160 (like Rimfire 1.60 or Tacon Bigfoot 160), a 100a ESC and dual 5000 lipos. Thank you all for the advise.

Hey Will,

I originally ran a OS 140 RX in mine and eventually put the trusty ol'e OS 160 in it on a pipe after the 140 was discontinued. This would still be a great combination for the plane. I ran the OS 160 in FAI for 2 years 2007-2008 in two air frames, until I switched to YS. The OS160 was very fuel efficient with a Perry pump and a tuned pipe. Finding headers may be difficult with the lose of Karl Mueller, who use to custom make the headers.

Inrunner might be easier with a firewall mount, Like a Hacker....You won't have to remove all of the engine mount rails.
