VQ MODELS SBD-5 DAUNTLESS 60.6″ WINGSPAN, GP/EP ARTF - with fitted electric retracts - £250

[Jim Bottomley]

Untouched kit (apart from visual inspection) bought new complete with fitted VQ retracts. Wing centre section removed from bubble wrap for first time for photograph of fitted landing gear.

 

This is a well-known kit with plenty of reviews available and currently available.

 

Because of risk of damage in transit, I would prefer face to face sale either here in Chesterfield, Derbyshire or meeting at a mutually convenient location.

Now asking £225.

Toto

Yes, Chesterfield in Derbyshire.

 

I'm prepared to travel to deliver, within reason.

 

Whereabouts are you?

[toto]

Edinburgh ...... Scotland.

 

I am only mulling it over as I have been looking at various versions of the same. I'm not sure as yet.

 

Thanks for now

[Jim Bottomley]

No problem.

[Jim Bottomley]

£200?

[Jim Bottomley]

It seems I didn't put enough info on this item.

 

The kit is still currently on sale, specs:

 

VQ Models SBD-5 Dauntless 60.6" Wingspan (macgregor.co.uk)

 

The kits currently on sale in the UK sell for around £230 but do not include the VQ electric retracts VQARE16 which sell seperately for around £100.

 

This kit has factory fitted electric retracts, as per the picture of the box lid.

 

Whilst I am prepared to travel to meet or deliver that will only be after a completed sale, I regret I am not prepared to travel simply for a viewing of this untouched and undamaged, as new kit but anyone who would like to come here to see it will be welcome.

 

The current price will definitely not be reduced further and is for cash. 'Proper' Paypal (for both our protection) is fine but plus 3%, ie £206 total.

Sorry to see that it didn't go Jim. 

 

Maybe better luck further down the line. It was a good price with the retracts included.

🙂 Hi Toto, I put it out for sale after realising that the landing gear might not thrive too well on the rather long grass of our site but have since joined two more clubs which have much more suitable surfaces, so I'll be putting it together and flying it.

 

Regards,

Excellent good Sir.

 

MInd the video including a nice sequence showing the landing gear being deployed.

 

Enjoy
