Title: Learn to build with balsa! Gentle Lady starter kit- 78" wingspan ****SOLD****
Post by: Frank v B on October 18, 2022, 10:41:42 PM
Try to fly something you built...not just bought.

To get you started:
- Goldberg Gentle Lady kit- appears complete.
- Axi 2212/20 motor (2-3 S, 12 amp max)
- 20 amp speed controller
- 2 part rolls of Monokote- Ken's favourite colours- yellow and red.
- control horns for elevator and rudder
- two NIB Hitec servos (5084 and 5056) both are ball bearing and metal gear.
- X-Acto razor saw
- X-Acto knife with 6 spare #11 blades
- emery board
- a selection of sheet and stick balsa to custom adjust the nose for a motor and just in case some balsa is missing.  A plywood ring for a firewall

Total value will probably exceed $175.00.  From the Ken Coleman estate.

Highest bid by Saturday, October 22 before 8 pm (7:59:59) is the winner.  Minimum bid increase $5.00.
Starting bid $20.00 (mine).

Pat,

Good to see your offer. 
If your friend is not a builder and you are the winning bid I will make the package more complete... stuff that Guy already has.

With 21 hours to go... I am adding the following items to the package, especially if Pat's friend is the winner:
- a Great Planes T bar sander
- a 1300 MAH 3 cell battery pack
- a 2-3 cell charger from Horizon Hobbies
- extra balsa sticks.. just in case.
- a switch harness in case he wants it as a pure glider (non-powered).

All from the Ken Coleman estate.

Pat,

It looks like you are the winning bidder.  Give me a day to put the package together. 
I am at Mount Pleasant and St Clair.*

CONGRATULATIONS @pmackenzie !!
This some fine Carl Goldberg kit. 
I still have a 3-piece wing, the fuselage is long gone, but the detachable wings are in great shape.   ;D
Someday, I will build another fuselage, perhaps with an electric motor up front.  ::)
