David, that PT is your technology demonstrator. Why are you selling it? :confused:

It has reached the end of its usefullness for me. I intend to move to a 1/6.2 scale Spitfire aircraft as my technology demonstrator for my next gen modules.

My next gen. modules will be very suitable for model aircraft and I will be targeting that market segment as well as the model boat guys.

I haven't got the room for both and I need the funds from the PT sale to get the Spitfire and I've simply grown tired of the PT boat.

I have looked at that picture almost everyday since I got a copy from Tower Hobbies of of an RC magazine (can't recall the name right now!) back in 2005, I believe. I've only just recently (a couple of months back!) put it in the trash because of it's state, it was hanging in my toilet the reason why I could look at it almost everyday :D It was also the first time I learned why I had to install capacitors to my electric motors :eek: Thanks David ;) Boo.
