Large Model Association Forum

I am on the lookout for a large ready to fly Warbird for a client

We are building him a large Warbird (96" Tempest) at present, but he's after a similar sized model, ready to fly that he can get some experience on before flying the Tempest as he's mainly used to flying large 3D/Aerobatic type models.

Anything considered but must be in reasonable condition, complete with retracts, engine & servos (no RX required as he'll fit his own)......ARF's, kit built......anything considered.

We have a budget up to £ 1,300.

What have you got?

Cheers

Phil

Hi Phil have got a brand new YT Typhoon with yt air up air down retracts with twin tanks brand new dle 35ra
Has had maiden and was perfect motor Has had ground run + maiden and was faultless all servos were new ignition batt
New receiver batts and new landing light batts on Jeti radio with can be removed
Regards Phil 07765883209

Black horse Corsair, crrc 50, all servos, stock retracts, £475,

Thanks Phil - Alan

Ideally i think he's looking for something larger than the Typhoon & heavier than the Corsair. I know the BH models come out V light for their size, so to gain some useful experience before a 96" 40lb 85cc Tempest, something closer to this size/weight/power would be ideal.............if such a thing exists out there somewhere?

Cheers

Best of luck with that one Phil!

Doesn't need to be pretty...........used but reliable is all we need. There must be a 90 odd inch 60-80cc size model out there for 12-1300 quid surely.......

Phil,what version of the Tempest are you building ? I bore people to death telling them that I worked on target towing Tempest 5 in the early 1950 .I also smashed up the last remaining and brand new Napier Sabres engines.Always wanted to build a model of the 5,but too late in life now.

Hi,
I have a 50CC YT spitfire 89" span and about 24lb flying weight. Currently built (by Ian Redshaw) unflown and no engine if that is any help?
Cheers

Thanks Alan......I think we're sorted though. I've been offered 4-5 ready to fly models......it's between 2 at the moment, just waiting final decision from my client.

Cheers

Phil
