Hi Wayne,
I built this Beech about 5 years ago and never flew it because I suddenly developed macular degeneration ,which can be the precursor to going blind,not so in my case after getting ongoing treatment.
Enough of that but that explains why I sold the model.It was built after seeing an article in warbirds full size mag showing many pics of their demonstrator.
The engines are Zenoah 38's - New in this model ,you are right about the wiring for the lighting systems (over 40 leds in pods etc) as I installed far too heavy wire ,thinking I didn't want a drop in current.Probably some two core servo wire would have done the job,thus saving around 2lbs in weight.
It had a two receiver JR system as per the 20kg scheme, four batteries installed in the nose to cope with everything.
The cost of the model was probably twice what you are asking,and given the right customer to sort the wiring out would be unique on the show circuit.
Good luck with the sale I would love to see it in the air
Pete

If it's of use, I built a similar Ziroli D-18 with twin 38's, Robart gear, twin Rx's and 4 batteries for a client 6-7 yrs ago and it came out at 23kg's.

Hi Phil,
It wasn't as heavy as that - from dim memory around the 22kg but Wayne will have the exact weight on the 20 kg paperwork.
