Entertainment and the cost of admission ...

Good morning everyone!!


This part of my blog is a feature I will use sporadically in the future ... every once in a while.
It is dedicated to JMcC !! (I decided to heed your advice and hope it will kinda "set me FREE" from here going forward ... .)


We will see, how this "feature" will develop going forth. As a little explanation for anybody interested - JMcC suggested to see the money I "in-waste" in this hobby as "the cost of admission to a certain type of entertainment" ... and the longer I think about it, the more I realize this is a really good way to view it. Hopefully this way to view things will help me with the serious 'heli-crack' addiction that I am suffering from and lead to my life with helis getting back to normal from where it is right now ... ...

This also means, as this "certain form of entertainment" for me sometimes equals buying something I most likely never put to reasonable use while it is in my possession, as I am more so interested in seeing, touching and trying it (as well as tinkering around with it for a little while and maybe use it as a source for one of my other blog entries) than in really putting it to good use, this thread may be an opportunity for someone else who is looking for exactly this particular item to acquire it with a nice discount ...
In other words this means that every now and then there will be links popping up here that lead to the "FOR SALE" section ...

So stop by every once in a while and see for yourself ...

... and FLY SAFELY!!!

Finally!!!

this thread is going to be put to use ... see, JMac, it only took me a while (obviously much longer than other people) but I finally will make good on my "promises" ...

... so, for all you guys who are actually advanced pilots:

I received a Walkera M120D01 as a BNF model ... which I did not really try to get, even though I think it is one beautiful heli.
Also, my skill set is just not up to par with this little machine yet, so I decided to rather sell it (if anyone wants it and also is ok to pay a "fair" price)

I NEVER flew it (not even spun it up or tried to fly it) - I only opened the box to look at it and to put the items in that I additionally got to be able to make a "good" offer
I will put up some pictures soon (another reason why the box has to be open, but it is as if bought new from the store)

additional items:
  • WK2603 (so this basically makes a RTF package out of it - which sells for around 300$) with LiPo TX battery 2650mAh
  • spare set of blades
  • charging adapter to charge 3 batteries at the same time on a "professional" balance charger (like Thunder AC6 or ImaxB6 or similar)
  • stock charger/wall adapter

    optional:
  • true CF landing skid (from Gaui 200)
  • ImaxB6 charger (used 4 times)

As you can see, if shipping and all is included in the calculation the "street value" of this is beyond 400$ (easily) ... so if anybody is (seriously) interested, please PM me for detailed "discussion of terms" ...

I'll be waiting ... ....

PS:
this offer is continental US only, sorry!

Hi everyone!!

As the last "ad" finally appeared, there is another one to "add":

I am trying to reduce the number of helis in my household that I don't fly or even never flew and that just dont get any "airtime"

Another one of these is a Walkera V120D01, which was only hovered once!! (just to see that it lifts)
The detailed "package" is as follows:
  • V120D01
    this can be negotiated as BNF or as RTF (you all know new they cost about 150$ and 200$ respectively)
  • Turnigy TX Lipo 2650mAh
  • 3 sets of spare blades
  • 3 extra batteries
  • charge adapter for a "professional" balance charger to charge 3 batteries at a time
  • if it is the RTF package, it also includes the stock wall adapter/charger

optional (and if nobody asked for it in connection with the M120D01 package, I could offer the ImaxB6 AC, which I only used 4 times)

Please PM me if anybody is interested to discuss ...
