John Kusterin called me and asked me to pick up more items to donate to TEMAC. John was a member a long time ago and still has fond memories. Last year the items were sold in a mini auction at a Pilot's Meeting. All proceeds to the TEMAC kitty. This time I will try an on-line auction. One item at a time.
The items include:
- 3 models with motors, receiver ready (John still flew with 72 meg)
- two brushless motors- a geared 100 watt Axi and a 1000 watt Axi 4120
- 4 esc's 25-60 amps
- a collection of servo extensions, including a Y harness.
- a 72 meg radio (TX and RX)
- 5 brand new new-in-bag HXT type 9 gram servos. Never opened.
I will test all the equipment, post photos and a description. The first item will go up 8 pm this Sunday. I will accept bids for 24 hours and close the auction for that item at 8 pm Monday. Last bid before 8 pm wins, based on the Forum date/time stamp on the post. Cash only. Can bring the items to the field or the first Pilot's Meeting. TEMAC Members only please. All proceeds to TEMAC. Minimum $1.00 increments please. If I think the price is too low I will place a bid that I will honour personally for that price.

Ooooo! Exciting!
Thanks Frank & John.
If this catches on, swap meets will disappear!
Great idea and a very generous gesture offered by John and coordinated by Frank.
Thanks
