Eric I missed out on the last one you had for sale but not this time.    I'll take the last one.  BTW, what does it come with?

Hi Colin;


This is strictly a balsa kit and nuttin' else, which is why its only $25.00. That's what I paid an old guy for it (even older than me!) who was getting out of the hobby. The plane was designed by Gilbert Morris in 1941 and has an enviable record of wins in competition over the years and, like all old timers, flies slowly and stably.
The box was still factory sealed when I got it. You don't see balsa this nice nowadays. Since I had every intention of building the model I had an extra copy of the plans made, so you can hack one up and still have a pristine one for referring to.
The Kerswap in the picture came from the internet; gotta love that covering job.


Here's a few pictures of the contents of the box. Still want it?

Aww crap!  Sorry thought it was already built. Would have been a nice little plane for Mya but after the project I'm doing right now (and the TWO Morphines I have to build) I don't wanna see another piece of balsa wood for a year!

Colin

No problem.

So is the Kerswap taken?
Looks like Colin passed, but it is marked as sold.

Thanks,

Hi Pat;


Sorry, Gerry Steckling snapped up the Kerswap right after Colin passed it up.

I'm struggling with 'too many planes'. Is that possible?

[eric]

When you live in a teeny downsized house bought for a quiet, uncluttered retirement, having 22 flyable models (some are old timers with 8', one piece wings) makes for a bit of a space problem. Add in the boats and a bunch of kits and, well," too many planes" really is, sadly, possible.


I'll still be building, but I've reached terminal marital harmony storage capacity.

Fling reduced to $59.99, what a deal.

Eric,


I will take the Fling for $60.00.  Pocket the penny and put it towards your retirement.  
Bring it to the next Pilots' Meeting and I will have some $20's printed up by then.

Thanks, Frank! I'll bring it along to the next meeting.
