E-Flite Scimitar WITH electric retracts

Michael · December 03, 2013, 09:49:25 PM

This is my E-Flite Scimitar (E-Flite 32 brushless motor, 60 am ESC, digital servos, vectoring thrust, etc) with E-Flite retracts installed.

I have never crashed the plane but I have flipped it on a landing and did have to re-glue the nose back on.

This is an amazing model that can fly slowly and gently, or very fast and aerobatic.

With the vectoring thrust, it can spin ultra fast.

It is Bind-n-fly, except no battery is included. It needs a 4-cell 3200mah lipo pack.

(The kit was about $430. The retracts cost about $130.)

For sale for $150 cash, picked up from me within a few days, in Thornhill or mid-Toronto, or I can deliver it at the TEMAC Pilot's meeting on Wed. Dec. 11.

Respond HERE in this thread.

First confirmation gets it.

This video is of the actual model offered.

Smokin' deal. I'm tempted just for the retracts and ESC alone.....

I'm debating it and it's discontinued too... That's not helping

Great deal, I've always wanted the scimmitar.do you have any spare parts for it that you could throw in even for a extra charge? Horizon barely sells any parts for it now.

I only have what came with the kit.

Of course the original receiver is in there, and I have the manual.

I am NOT chuckling at this lol...lol

My plan... bring it in the house late at night. Put it with the rest of the models like it's been there forever. She'll never know...

Plus it cost less than her shoes for her Christmas outfit... so I can always go down that road.

You my friend are a brave man!

Yes! Very brave. But he did imply that it was a hail mary situation. We hope you don't have to use it. We like having you as part of the club.

Nice knowing you Mike! (Gee. Who are we going to get for a CFI for next year??)

Idiot, you cannot outsmart a woman.
Just smile a lot and say "yes dear" to everything she says.

Survival is the objective not winning or staying even.
Comparing shoes and models? forget it you'd be toast in two seconds flat.
Play dumb and stupid, that she can believe.

Been there, done that, have the permanent scars to prove it.

Good luck!

re: Jack's comment: "Been there, done that, have the permanent scars to prove it".

For all you guys who have never met Jack's dear wife Mary, who is about 5' 2" (four foot fourteen!) and weighs all of 110 pounds dripping wet, you need to take his advice seriously. Outweighing your partner 2:1 or 3:1 is no guarantee of success.

It just affects the Richter Scale readings!!
