For sale
E-Flite T-34 Mentor balsa and ply ARF with an E-Flite power 46 and E-Flite 60 amp ESC installed . Comes with flap servo (single, central) and aileron servos installed in the wing. Elevator and Rudder servos installed in the fuse. All servos are E-Flite. No receiver. The wing includes the clear plastic leading edge droops for low air time pilots.
ASSEMBLED BUT NEVER FLOWN. The condition is a 10 out of 10.
Below please find the E-Flite video on the model. Note that it was designed for a power 25.
Things to consider:
- A Power .46 lists at GreatHobbies for $149.99 plus tax ($169.49).
- an E-Flite 60 amp ESC is $114.99 plus tax ($129.44)
For this plane, the auction rules are:
- TEMAC members only
- Tonight I will initiate it with a starting bid. If the item is being low-balled I will up the bid and that is what I will pay for it.
- increments of $10.00 please. Not too much to ask for a retail value over $450.
- The bidding starts after the photos are posted and will end with the bid on a post that has a date stamp before 8:00 pm* this Saturday, April 25.
- I will arrange the exchange with the winning bidder.
Just in case you wonder why an auction and the timing. It gives working stiffs and people without smartphones a fair chance of winning an item of good value. Just levelling the playing field.

* last possible winning date stamp is 7:59.59 pm Saturday.

Confirmation after taking the photographs:
- This plane is a 10 out of 10. Not a scratch on it.
- all the servos are E-Flite standard servos
- It does have an E-Flite 60 amp esc (3-6S) installed in the cowl. See photo 30
- a new E-Flite Power .46 motor with prop and spinner.
- the wing does have the clear leading edge droops for safe flying. (reduces stall speed, reduces chance of a stall).
- the only thing that appears to be missing are the wing bolts. I will find some.
- the wing was wrapped in bubble wrap. I did not remove it to avoid hangar rash.
I have made the changes to the first post.
My starting bid is $80.00

Mark, if you win this then I want your T28 Trojan ;D
I don't have a T-28.
I have Michael's AT-6 Texan.
You're probably thinking of David's T-28 or I think Glen might have one as well
If I win the auction you can my Slo-Poke :)
Considering that I already have a Texan, I accept your offer of David's Trojan, as long as it is in good shape!! ;D ;D ;D
Which one? Depends what you mean by good shape. They all fly... and what more can you ask of an airplane!
David,
re: your "They all fly".
I love your minimalist approach to airplanes. Life is binary. They either fly or they don't. Everything else is a compromise. ;D
Frank
BONUS: There is a second (spare) canopy/hatch still in its original plastic wrap. It comes with the deal.

Frank, there is a corollary: If they fly, how well do they fly. Further (and this is a Glenn-ism), if you don't like the way they fly, change them to fly the way you like.

@Gregor77 you don't need another plane you'll never fly! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Simon,
A good model airplane collection is always "one short". "No" is not an answer....especially for Gregor. ;D
You and I are a close second to Greg. It is always great to be shown the way to collecting bliss. 8)

Congrats David
Thanks to David, Mark, Greg and George for participating.
David, call me tomorrow* to set up the prisoner exchange. I can come up partway tomorrow or Monday if that works for you.
Thank you.
Frank
* how can we now call Sunday the "day of rest". How about the "Day of more rest". ;D
Awesome, my wife will be pleased I lost! :-*
Thanks all... and to Frank for the auction. Cheers.
David picked up the plane today and reluctantly paid the money.
A great deal for all.
The transaction is done!
