<DIV> What are you using for an Rx battery? Regulator? Wheels? Don't overlook the little things. You only need to save 1/2 an ounce 32 times. VBG</DIV>

It is an all-painted airplane; no MonoKote/UltraCote/etc. It is complete, except for the receiver and
is fitted with Futaba digital servos. Power is an OS 1.40RX, with appropriate header/pipe. The only problem I have with it is that it weighs 5 kg. After doing the math, I cannot figure out how to convert it to electric power and keep the weight at/under 5 kg. So, I want to sell it for what I paid for it: $900 + shipping, if necessary, I can provide additional details/pictures for anyone who's interested.<BR>>>>> Ron Van Putte<BR>>>>> _______________________________________________<BR>>>>> NSRCA-discussion mailing list<BR>>>>> <A href="http://us.mc805.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" ymailto="mailto:NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">NSRCA-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</A><BR>>>>> <A href="http://lists.nsrca.org/mailman/listinfo/nsrca-discussion"
