Looking for a carbon butterfly kit- if anyone has one they want to part with, shoot me a PM or post up.

Thanks!

"Kit" or pre-built, ready to fly in the case????

I haven't seen them available as a "kit"....

Dave, talk to Mike at Walt's. He has a carbon butterfly and might let it go.

If not.... SOme of the Plantraco stuff is on sale still, but I haven't checked to see if the Butterfly is on sale.

I have one I could part with for $250+S&H. Comes with two batteries, transmitter, and case. Flies great, rudder is a bit easier to turn right than left but can still fly in a 10x10 room in both directions.

PM me if interested.

Thank you for the offer Neil, but why would I buy used for $250 when one can be had new for $299?

I would consider offering $200, as long as there is no damage or defect whatsoever.

You certainly can't have one to your door for $299. Keep in mind they ship from Canada and the UPS cartel needs their $30+ extortion for import duty. Plus I'm including a second battery. Ends up being around $350. I can do $250 shipped, thats over $100 savings.

Your choice. I do enjoy flying it so no pressure :cool:

I flew it a few weeks in the track room and it did not have an elevator.... unless he did the conversion recently.

He had said he did an elevator conversion the other day when I was in buying a Parkzone Cessna. Does he have more than one?

Hmmm. Not sure. If he did the conversion it had have been recent. Wouldn't hurt to check.

Or.... they have the cessna receivers in too. I'm gonna pick one up tomorrow and whip up a new micro.

I just grabbed a Cessna, love it.
What are you going to run the rx with (I assume you already have a Cessna kit?)
I have found the range on the tx/rx combo is less than great.
Hey, I thought you were a heli guy!

The Rx should bind to the Cessna Tx. I got a cessna right when they came in. I haven't had any range issues, been flying it in my front yard. And in the fall/winter I fly at the sacred heart gym in cicero- there should be no range issues there.

I'm an "air" guy :D Helis and planes(mostly 3d foamies). Anyways, sorry, don't mean to crowd your wanted thread.
