MXS-R ----- 88" wing span w/ DLE 55
Beautiful 3 D flyer with less than 90 minutes on airframe and engine. Never crashed.or needed repair. I am selling only because we lost our flying field, so I have no place to fly it. Not marked as EG but obviously from the same factory. Seven servos and kill switch. Add receiver and it's ready to fly.
Includes spare wing tube and holding/work stand.

Naples
There’s a really nice field/club up in Coral Gables, but that’s an hour drive from Naples. Pretty dissapointing how few fields there are in SW Florida.

A year ago we had three clubs and 4 flying fields in Naples. One club lost its field and folded when it couldn't find a replacement. This club was pretty much devoted to larger scale aircraft. It was wide open in the middle of nowhere and thus a great place to fly big airplanes.
Another club is adjacent to the fair grounds with a field which is relatively small and therefore is limited to electric, glow or small gas.
The third club (CMAC) has 2 fields, one of which is electric only because of its proximity to a school. The second field is a bit farther to drive but is very good in many respects. Several of the guys fly larger scale there but there are power lines that could come into play for the larger planes. As an intermediate flyer, I'm not comfortable flying the big scale there and that's why I'm selling it now.

So the CMAC field way down 41 towards the everglades, and Seahawk Park up in Coral Gables are the only 2 places you can fly the bigger (100cc+ gassers) planes in the whole area? Were you part of a club that lost a field? There's got to be a lot of modelers in the area. Would think a field could be setup inside I75 past the developments on Immokalee or Bonita Beach Road. A lot of flat, empty land out that way.

I was a member of the field that was lost. It was located between the fairgrounds and the city of Immokalee and run by a guy by the name of Marcell. There have been at least 2 major searches for a new field but all to no avail. Collier County has been of no help. I assume they knew what they were doing. The Seahawk field is actually in Cape Coral, about 50 min to an hour from Immokalee rd and I 75 depending on traffic. The big CMAC field is about 45 minutes from that location..
