@Frank v B should we explain to @Andy Hoffer the difference between a Schooner and a Ketch?
Thank you for the clarification and to Andy for the great pictures.

Moving Sale. Mint condition (Brand New in Box) ARFs and PNPs for sale!

I'm moving to a smaller home, and I have too much stuff!  I need to sell some of my planes because I won't have room for them. These planes are brand-new-in-original-boxes, and the low prices are meant to sell them very quickly!

1. SOLD Horizon Hobby DHC-2T Turbo Beaver. Styrofoam model, with motor, speed control, servos, etc., with wheels and with floats, 59.5" wingspan. No longer available from retailers. $160.

2. Unknown manufacturer, 70" wingspan,  balsa and ply hand-built ARF (no electronics; plane only). Well built and very-nicely covered. 70" wingspan. $180.

3. Hangar 9 Piper Cub, 80" wingspan, balsa and ply hand-built ARF (no electronics; plane only). Brand new version is over $650 in the store. Mine is only $290.

4. SOLD Hobby King Vampire V2, 43" wingspan, electric ducted fan and motor, with electronic speed control, servos, and electric retracts. This popular Canadian version is not currently available. When available, it cost well over $300 with tax and shipping. Mine is only $180.

Of course these prices are in Canadian funds, with no taxes and no tariffs!

I need to sell these quickly. These will be sold to the first person (persons) who calls me to confirm pickup (Stouffville) and payment by cash. Don't respond here; don't message me. Just call, and pick them up!

Andy,

re: your comment "Admiral @GuyOReilly's gorgeous three-masted Galatea".

Please look at your photo 95 and count the number of vertical sticks on Guy's boat.
By definition a schooner has two masts.  The horizontal sticks (booms) do not count.

Frank

ps: a bit like you telling me you had twins and me asking "how are the three kids?"

Yes, I was there but at 2,000 feet trying to cheer you on.
Thank you for your hard work.


That was a great treat seeing you today Guy.  Thanks for the fly-by and the wing waggle... excellent.

The field is rolled, the runway is rolled and re-stretched.

Thank you so much Glenn and Mark, Rob, and Michael... very much appreciated.
