| I was working on getting this machine in the air for IRCHA. I have found myself pretty much overwhelmed and it does not look like I will be able to attend IRCHA. Long story short here is my Dad's health is fading and has been for some time. I have made it out to fly maybe 4 times this whole year. I am taking care of my house as well as my parents home, and with work, it is all I can do to keep up. But this is time I will never get back, so my priority is family first.
Ok, with that, I was in need of some parts and some very nice guys on here have helped me out so I don't want this heli to just sit around and not make it to IRCHA. So, if someone is interested in buying it, let me know. I am interested in a RC car/truck as that is something I can tinker around with once in a while without going to a flying field, since I don't have time for that. So, I might be interested in a trade...looking at a Losi Mini T with extras or hop-ups.
The heli will need the rudder linkage ran and it will need to be setup. It needs tail fins and I was going to "trim" the stock main blades as a dog of a previous owner nibbled on the blade end. The muffler (a heliball that was donated to me) will need some 3.5mm screws which are proving hard to find. I have some that may be able to be cut down which I will include. The canopy is cracked from age and moving on to a couple of owners. ( the canopy and tail fins can be purchased new on the web) The tail blades (also donated) are NIP woodies and will need to be trimmed and assembled. The engine is an Enya 49 and there are some older JR servos mounted. I cleaned it up and lubed the bearings and it would not take much to get this in the air. I will consider offers and trades, PM with any questions. I am hopeful that a new owner will get it in the air and take it to IRCHA. If it does not find a new home, then I tried to get it there this year and maybe next year I can make it happen, provided I stay in the heli hobby.
I am also thinking about getting rid of some of my other heli's, but I am afraid I will regret that later on. I kind of hate to but to be honest, I just don't have any interest in flying right now, I guess because everything that is going on in my life. I wonder if this is just a phase?
 
Note: the servo tray is not pictured but it is now back on the heli as well as the linkages. I also have the fuel tank.
