selling trainer plane
Message*:
I was wondering if anyone in your club would be interested in purchasing a 60"
trainer complete with engine, remote, batteries, and lots of accessories. I have
pictures if anyone is interested. I was looking to get $250 for it all. I have paid at
least $1000 for everything over the years. The plane is about 10 years old and the
remote is analog but everything works great! I hope to hear back from you. Thank
you. Regards, Dave
