kevin b Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Posted by Dave Hopkin on 19/03/2016 21:24:11: Worth 99p for the wheels.......... I thought similar to that about a 9ft wingspan Auster. I wanted an engine mount and it looked ok. Was local too. Guess what. Yes I won it and to make matters worse the airframe is too good to scrap !!! I don't suppose anyone has an old nylon tent they don't want ? Edited By kevin b on 19/03/2016 22:14:38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightypeesh Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Impressed with a club mates newly built Phase 6 at the patch yesterday I thought I would have a look on e-bay...... **LINK** Some how the wing looks a tiny bit different - and it comes with free fire wood! - Might be a Jetex motor hiding in that box though.

kevin b Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Anyone for a Laser Irvine 70 ? **LINK** Somehow I think it will go for more than the current 11p bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Fry Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Trouble is, it is not a Laser 70, but a much older Laser 75, no spares availabe, and worth a lot less than the 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Nicol Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I've just bought 2 lightweight (4.3 gram)servos from hong kong... 99pence each and free postage.... got to be worth the two quid just to see what they are like, I may just have stumbled across a bargain, ...... then again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used withing their capoabilities, I am sure they will be fine. After all whatever badge is on the side, I doubt there is a servo out there that doesnt have some chinese DNA.

After all whatever badge is on the side, I doubt there is a servo out there that doesnt have some chinese DNA. they are to be used in a pushy cat, (the old style one rc assist free flight) so just needed to drag the rudder a little each way , same for the elevator... I have shed loads of 9 gram servos, but these I wanted to check out at the price, whats not to love lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daithi O Buitigh Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 To be fair, there could be 40 quid's worth of insulting tape there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Dance 1 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well at least he won't need to wrap it! Just how you damage a Bixler that badly beats me. This guy should take up stamp collecting, except he'd destroy the stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolstonFlyer Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I meant the 'room' that they are in is inside the back of a lorry, it has side rails and aluminium checker plate floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetenor Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Posted by kevin b on 19/03/2016 20:40:13: **LINK** Somebody has actually bid on it !!!!!!! Are they that short of firewood in Cheltenham ? If all the firewood looked that good i'd buy it. It looks as though there are servos in those wings too.I bought some junk at 99p .Turned out i had a 6 channel Rx and 7 working relays plus all the wiring harness. No bad with free PP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone interested in unusual engines it would be worth a punt IMO. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
