SOLD - 1/6.78 Scale Hawker Typhoon

[wollins]

So I've decided to sell my beloved Hawker Typhoon (somewhat regrettably) since I don't see myself getting around to flying this (or any of my big planes) in the near future and its just been taking up space for the last few years. For the veterans in the club, you've probably seen the build on TEMAC so you know the history of the plane. For those that don't know about it ... it was a project started and intended to be as close a replica as possible to the full size plane. (which in a visit to England I saw first hand!)

The build started out as a rare (non painted) version of the ESM ARF that was sold back in the day. (though rare the full ARF version can still be found at a few places online.)

Anyway, I painted, fabricated and modified it extensively and finally flew it at Temac for a successful maiden flight.  The flight was excellent but the landing ended in a ground loop which created some minor damage. That was subsequently repaired to like new condition (and stronger and better in my humble opinion ) but I never got around to flying her since. I've moved on to many more projects since then hence my decision to sell. I say I'm selling it somewhat regrettably because you can never sell these types of planes for what they're really worth because of all the time and effort (and money!) expended.

Anyways, bought it as a plain (non painted) ARF (no parts ... just the frame) for $585 in hand (duty, taxes etc) and am selling it in two options:

Option 1. Plane with spare scale canopy, 1/6 scale Pilot, custom scale cannons, scale DB spinner, scale wheels and struts, navigation and landing lights (all hooked up) installed scale retracts, (Lado electrics custom for this plane) and all servos installed and wired ... 1 HS-5625MG (for elevator) 1 HS-5625MG servo (for rudder) and 4 HS-5485HB servos (2 for flaps and 2 for ailerons)

Option 2. PNP. This means everything (listed above and the components below) ... except batteries and your receiver. 

SUPPO 7035/8 190KV motor
Castle Creations HV85 ESC
Hercules Heavy Duty Bec: 
Turnigy Ultra-light wood propeller

Option 1 asking $700
Option 2 asking $875

Unfortunately there is not much room for negotiation since RTF there is about $1,700 in this.  (Just the retracts set me back $392!) As usual please call/text at 416 726 4482.

Sellers: (as far as I could find since its now so rare)
