[NSRCA-discussion] Electric Altair 200 For Sale

[Daniel Sim]

To all fine RC pilots that appreciate precision and quality,

I am offering my competition electric F3A aircraft for sale. I am 
selling this aircraft because of my commitments to flying RC helicopters 
competitively for 2009 to 2010.
It has successfully competed at the 2008 F3A intercontinental 
competition in Taiwan (CAOCC 2008) and is competition ready.
It's last flight was at the Singapore F3A nationals (Jul 2009) where it 
performed the F09 very well despite being handicapped by the pilot.

You may view a collection of the Aircraft's photos here:

(The name and letterings on the aircraft are removable stickers.)

this Altair. Note the price of 2500euros for kit only.)

The Altair 200 is among the best F3A/aerobatic aircraft you can get 
outside Japan. It's designed by the former Japanese World Champion - Mr 
Naruke.

Prolite for the RX)

I have had around 60 excellent flights on it. Condition is good, expect 
a few small dings and scratches here and there. There is a hairline 
crack on the inner wall of the belly-pan which I repaired with a little 
fiberglass cloth and CA. It was caused by my eagerness to lift the plane 
out of my van and is nonstructural)

I expect the plane and electronics to be good for another 200 flights or 
more. Electric planes have less wear and tear than nitro due to less 
vibration.

The motor and ESC are new because the last motor and ESC broke down due 
to faulty parts and got replaced by their respective manufacturers.

I'm asking 3000USD for the Altair as described, negotiable. Shipping 
charges paid by the buyer. You may contact me at my email:

Thank you.
