I am sorting through my plane collection now and will bring at least 13 planes* for sale during the President's Pizza night on Wednesday, Sept 28.  This is our last instruction night for 2022.
Photos of the planes will be posted here with a "fun pricing" price tag. 
Buying can only be done in person for cash at the field during the pizza dinner.  If more than one person wants an item, start the bidding. No reservations.

So far:
- a Great Planes Siren Warmliner (6' span, one piece wing, carbon fuse, ailerons for 3 cell 2200). PNP
- A DG 1000 power glider (6' span, plug-in wings for 3 cell 1300) PNP
- A foamy 450 Mustang (hand-launch for 3 cell 1300) PNP

If anyone else has something to sell please bring the items along for the Pizza night non-event.  ;)

* We are getting house guests the week after so it is either get rid of the planes or I sleep outside in a tent.  Tough call!  I flipped a coin. :)

Simon,

No.

We would all love to see you out at Rogo Field on September 28 eating Pizza!  ;)
That's why the sale starts at 6 pm so people have a chance to fly and eat some Pizza and beat the traffic. 8)

Any plane that does not sell at Rogo Field will be posted for regular sale on our Forum.

A gorgeous Fokker E-3 monoplane.

Beautifully built.... because I did not build it.  ;)  Covered with Solartex, approx 48" span.  I converted it from brushed to brushless.  Plug-in wings, includes Power G-10 Turnigy, Phoenix 35 amp ESC.  I flew it on 3 cell 2200.  Gentle flyer.  It is 3 channel (rudder, elevator, throttle).  No ailerons.  Elevator and rudder servos installed.  Flying wires included with adjustment points (see photo 64)
All you need is an RX and a battery.

Price- $90.00... not a cent less or I am keeping it.

Last plane...... for now.  My beloved Skywriter biplane.

This was subject of our Build classes several years ago.  I believe at least 5 people built them (Jack, Bill Q, Piker, Michael, FvB).  This was the build class thread.  https://temac.ca/smf/index.php?topic=4515.150

I fly this plane twice a year.  It takes off in about 10 feet and slows down nicely for landing.  Includes motor (Turnigy 25-ish), ESC, prop, and all servos.  This plane has all four ailerons operating via 4 servos.  No connecting rods between upper and lower ailerons (cheating).  PnP- all you need is an RX and a 4 cell 2600 plus battery. 

Included is a 4 cell (4.8 volts) Nicad battery pack to power the receiver and servos.  The ESC is Opto (no BEC) and therefore requires a battery to power the electronics.  Note: I use separate battery packs on all my models that use 4-6 cells for power.  Done for safety.  If the ESC smokes, the plane can be flown to a safe landing.

Price- $100 and not a penny less or I take it home.

Photo- The Skywriter is front row, right side.  White top wing, red bottom wing.

ps: I keep the plane assembled and takes up a lot of space...something I am lacking.   ;)
