Looks in better nick than mine Mark! Very juicy looking. Mate, you won't regret it for one minute. Absolutely beautiful to fly. I love the colours. And I'm jealous ... yours has a functional ballast tube!

Well I'll be working on the skill factor, but after talking to guys like Ezza, Sean etc, who say they are so much easier & predictable to fly I thought I should have a crack. This plane was originally listed on www.rctradingpage.com.au back in August last year. Skyboyken inquired about it but the seller decided he was going to hang onto it, then last week he emailed Ken saying it was again for sale if he was interested, Ken had just days before ordered a new F3B plane for himself & was kind enough to let me know about this one, I called him straight away & said I was interested, when I rang him again next morning to confirm I'd take it, he mentioned at least 3 other guys had offerd to buy it between when I first rang him & the second time. I must say I really appreciated him saving it. So rule 1 is if you see something that looks ok & is priced well, don't muck around deciding. By the way wingspan is 3140mm. |

That's awesome Mark, you bought very well! I enquired about that plane a few months back, the seller sent me an email last week saying it was back on the market too. I would have snapped it up but I already bought a second-hand Pike a few weeks back. I think I enquired to about 3 or 4 over the last six months before I finally got in quick enough to get the Pike. BTW my Pike is not in nearly as good condition as this beauty!

I'm heading down to Tassie next week to pick her up, combined business & pleasure. ;D |

hahaa, i can see why you took the fazer over the miraj, nice ship. Paul and myself are keeping our eyes peeled for some more. They make a fantastic all rounder as no doubt you have found with Andrews machine.
Mate, we will have to catch up for a fly.
