[NSRCA-discussion] For Sale: Mantis

[Adam Glatt]

I am selling my last glow pattern airplane.

This NBEngineering Mantis EX was pro-built, covered (Ultracote), and 
painted by Nedim Bek in late 2003. It uses carbon lamiation extensively. 
The fuselage is a glass-foam-kevlar construction, wings are balsa 
sheeted foam. The one-piece wing is actually a two-piece wing (see 
pictures).

It was my primary airplane for the 2004 season, and my primary for the 
first month of the 2005 season. It was my backup airplane at the 2005 
World Champions in France. It has approximately 500 flights. This 
airplane is very nearly as good as pattern airplanes get. I placed 18th 
at the 2004 US Nationals with it, and it is definitely capable of 
higher. The Mantis excels at constant speed flight due to relatively 
high drag, as well as knife-edge flight and maneuvers, due to its thick, 
airfoiled fuselage.

Pictures of the Mantis as I fly it: 
*homepage.usask.ca/ajg360/Mantis.zip* . It weighed in at 4.6kg as 
pictured in France.

Airframe with: linkages and control horns, Bolly landing gear, NBE wheel 
pants, DuBro fuel tank, NBE muffler mount, NBE axial dampening motor 
mount (like a Hyde mount), nose ring, remote glow, NBE bellcrank and 
carbon rod, 7/8" PBG CF wing tube... - $1500Cdn

Add servos: 4pcs JR 8401 (identical to 8411SA) + 1pcs JR ds3301 - $280Cdn

Add motor: YS 140DZ + APC props (3 new, 1 used) + CD header + Greve DZ 
muffler - $500Cdn

I have a wood box for this airplane that I could ship it in. This box 
safely transported the Mantis on two airplane trips: to Toronto, and to 
France. Including the box, shipping is $120Cdn anywhere in Canada or USA.
