@Red I'm bringing a bunch of LED coils with me in case we have a slow wind day and I feel like putting some on a plane.

I have what I think is a Multiplex Pilatus B4 that I’ll will be bringing to Sunset to sell. . I had bought this to rehab, but it’s too far down the list to realistically get done anytime soon.

It has a glass fuselage, and sheeted foam wings and stabilizer. The wingspan is about 103”. Includes older JR full size servos for rudder and elevator. Ailerons are minis of some type, can’t exactly see. There are also spoilers, however one is taped shut so I’m guessing it didn’t work. Older sub C nicad in the nose and a 72 mHz JR 10 channel RX to make you feel real old lol

It needs to have a new rudder post installed, and a rudder built. There is no wing rod, but it has the anti rotation pins and Multiplex snap wing retainers. I tried the joiner from my son’s Eflite EC-1500 and that seemed to be the right size, although much too long.

$100 delivered to Sunset, or pick up in Palmdale.

Another one finished for Sunset!

This is an AB Models Composite Hawk. Weighs just under 2 lbs. should fly real nice! My son’s Hawkie is in Summit Racing colors, so if you are into hot rods they are competing brands. It will be a nice step up for him.

That leaves the Mini SR. I need to paint the wing but the wind has been relentless. Hopefully soon.

Looks great. Very interested in how she flies.

Please be careful and make sure that battery is cycle tested and has capacity. We had issues with them if stored without charging.. :(

Currently talking to a new supplier that states long shelf lives without issues. We shall see.

Thanks will do. I have other battery options if necessary, just wanted the weight of this one.

Got the base color on my MiniSR wing. Need to let it cure for a few days before masking for the second color. Gonna be cutting it close!

@Wayne cycled the pack 4 times, in good shape. Also maidened my Night Radian in the back yard. Horizon is selling them dirt cheap, so why not.

Got my night radian. I havent hooked up the lights yet though. If I recall it looked to be a bit of a pain? Gotta take another look.

No pain at all. Just plug the wings in, and that's it. The light controller plug into the balance lead of the lipo, and there is a switch. The light patterns are only changeable on the ground though. I did buy a new controller that lets you change all the patterns from the Tx, and takes power from the Rx, so no balance lead required.
