Large scale Extra 330.. Free for collection

[Paul Savage 1568]

Hi,

I have a very large scale Extra 330 which is offered free for spares or easy repair. Flies really well, not crashed and could be put back into service in a day. Requires a DLE 100cc engine or over. Last flown on a Zenoah 74 twin which was o.k for basic aerobatics but more power required for the crazy stuff that that the younger generation do with these type of aircraft an I'm not capable of.

Air frame only. Complete, everything such as wing spar, control horns and rods etc is all there. light weight fiberglass fuselage, built up wings.

Tail plane is detachable for easier transport/storage. Last flown over a year ago but it isn't my thing so here it is.

On inspection, a couple of elevator hinges are loose, the canopy is coming away from it's glue joint but that's about it. Easy repair. The rest of the air frame seems sound and the model looks very presentable.Do couple of minor repairs, chuck in some RC gear and bolt an engine on the front and away you go.

I neither need nor want any money for the model as I haven't flown for almost a year so need it and others gone. Other offerings coming soon as part or a clear out. A donation ( however small ) to Marie Curie cancer care would be appreciated but not mandatory.

Collection only or I may be able to take it to an upcoming LMA event with me.

Anyone got a use for it?

Email me via the LMA website. I do have to work for a living so I'll get back to you asap.

Lovely offer, and very generous, and if that triplane sticking its tail out is for sale, more details please!

Cheers Alan.

That particular DR1 looks nice in it's shiny, red covering but it's actually older than god and a temperamental little sod at that. It's been through every war imaginable. It couldn't fly in straight line if it wanted to but every now and again it actually flies lovely and lands lovely just to redeem itself and retain active service. Otherwise it's a bit of a bad tempered handful that loves to do what it likes and generally make the pilot look like a prat, especially when landing, again and again and again.

Bet that's put you off but watch this space as they say.

Thanks for the interest shown.

Well, the Tripe can get a home with the same mob as the Extra, my mates got it, he does a remarkable job of resurrecting a model, it’s got a good home,
