Lot 5- Axi Mini AC 1215/20 with planetary gearbox. On line Auction

[Frank v B]

Lot 5

This motor is still on the Icare website.  Runs on 2-3 S, 3000 kv, 10 amp continuous, burst 16 amps/20 sec.  Gearbox is a 4.5:1 planetary and should swing a 9x5 or 9x6 safely.  Great for gliders. 110 watts.

I have tested it and appears to work fine.  Has a firewall attached.  Good condition.

Bids starting at $20.00 (mine).  Increments of $1.00 min. The last and highest bid before 8:00 pm Saturday, Sept 29 wins.  Any bid with the Forum time stamp starting with 8 will be disregarded.  Last possible bid is 7:59:59 pm.

Donated by John Kusterin.  All proceeds to TEMAC. Temac members only please.

ps: the glare in the photo was specially added to send Mr."Kodak Moment" Hoffer into hysterics.

I especially liked @Frank v B 's demonstration of classic autoexposure response to a white background, i.e. the camera stops down to render it a perfect 18% gray, providing a dark moody evocative photo of the motor.

That is worth a bid of $21, which I hereby submit.

[Frank v B]

Hey Andy.  It is yours for $27.00  It is a really nice motor.

re: "increment"....  better "in" than "ex" for each thumb.

Thank you for participating.

Frank

pd: just got home from Barrie 5 minutes ago so I could not bother you.  I was prepared to bid up to $35.00

[Andy Hoffer]

This is SO delicious!

I know @Frank v B  was dying to outbid me on this beautiful motor/gearbox combo, but he was even more dying to get money out of my pocket, so he was forced to restrain himself.  The ultimate approach-avoidance conflict!   

Thanks for coordinating the auction Frank!

I have never seen you under the power of anything less.

PS Frank, you don't need a coach at the Mandarin, just your proof of age...
