David Davis Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 The fuselage and tail surfaces are from a Precedent/SLEC T240, the wings appear to be from a Majestic Major. Plans should be available for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there is some sort of scam involved, possibly to get contact details. Edited By kevin b on 12/10/2020 21:31:24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect there is some sort of scam involved, possibly to get contact details. Edited By kevin b on 12/10/2020 21:31:24 My guess is that its nothing so sinister. There was a £1 final selling fees offer this weekend, so the seller probably just uploaded the listings with a random photo (as you can't list without one). He will probably go back and edit it with the photos and, hopefully, a more detailed description later in the the week. I've had to resort to this myself in the past when I've had a busy weekend and no time to prep the item and take pictures. Here's a listing which shows what happens when you keep your models in an uninsulated loft and people load stuff against them. Warped Wing I've seen propellers with less helical pitch than that wing. No criticism of the builder or seller intended; these things happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Carlton Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 This one intrigued me: Very aerobatic! Not least because the seller promises "what you see is what you get". I'm assuming that includes the cat. Edited By Matt Carlton on 13/10/2020 22:00:26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hold our cat upside down by the legs about 12" above the bed. When I dropped it, it would still land on its feet. Even my Ripmax Ultimate Slim doesn't roll that fast! Yes, the cat did take a dim view of this. No, I don't do things like that any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Miller Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 In fact that model could be very aerobatic. IT has a lot of power for what is obviously a light weight model with very low wing loading. It has big control surfaces. The aerobatics would not be precision ones but it would do them. It could be a fun model for those calm evenings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Very amusing description MOTOR GLIDER VERY GOOD CONDITION Very rare model. no 3 minute foam flights with this. STUDY PHOTOS CAREFULLY WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET Alerons for acrobatics Clearly the seller is no expert as apparently it does acrobatics. I tried that once and learned that they are not good at acrobatics especially cartwheels there again maybe this is special and different to my Riot.

Daithi O Buitigh Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Maybe it's the cat doing the selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thank you one question how long has the arrow been there as I have never seen it before. Yes a nice well cared for cat that has just got off the computer after typing the description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 That cat is NOT doing selling. If it was, the listing would be accurate. You only have to look at it to be able to tell. I mean, it's a cat. A damn fine one at that. I think it's inserted itself into the listing in the hope of a better life. Here's my current favourite: Retracts AND a fixed undercart. You know, for rough strips. Obviously, as it says, a hurricane. Or a warbird. One of those. Looks like a Flair Harvard wing and ...er...something else. ( I know the seller clearly isn't a modeller, but I take my chuckles where I find them ) All terrain warbird Edited By Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 on 14/10/2020 10:33:35 Edited By Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 on 14/10/2020 10:34:44 Edited By Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 on 14/10/2020 10:35:11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A high wing Harvard with fixed gear plus retracts still in place though. I think you've got a winner there!

John Robertson 3 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 "There's also a ghostly cat in the first picture - see if you can spot it! ...". Try as I might, I just can't convince myself that there is something around the cat toy hanging from that stick. I HAVE tried! Go, Martin - se if you can convince me - or have I looked at that area too long and ignored something else. A sleepless night beckons.
