After carefully considering my options, I decided to stay under the 250 gram threshold for registration, for at least the next year or two.
Therefore I decided to get rid of the stuff in my fleet that was only use-able on planes heavier than 250 grams and having missed out on the opportunity to sell at a club swap meet, I took my stuff down to the rc airfield this afternoon and tried to sell it. Success! Somebody actually paid me a little money for my collection of stuff.
The stuff included:
2 HP SuperFly fuselages, modified, EasyStar derivative,
1 HK Bixler fuselage, modified, EasyStar derivative,
6 Wing sets joined together,
11 Motors, brushless, various sizes for ParkFliers,
2 HP Radios, 2.4GHz, Transmitter + Receivers sets
Come to think of it, this collection of stuff was not RTF or ARF but just KIT stuff for builders
, I was lucky to get any money out of it at all.
The plane is dead, long live the next plane!
Based on a 16gram version of the Blue-Wonder brush-less motor, I will be flying planes under the 250 gram threshold. I already have electronics for four airplanes and a big bundle of blue Fan Fold Foam. My target size will be 40 inch wing-span (~1 meter).
