Hi,
I inherited this frame from a relative and would like someone to help me decide if it is worth building around the frame or selling it and starting a new bird. The frame is 40"x12". It is straight and very clean.
Please help,
Chris

Your best bet would be to list it for sale over in the Antiques section. That's the basic airframe from what looks to be a GMP Cobra.

I believe it is a GMP Cobra. To be honest, it was fine in its day but it isn't worth fixing up at all. If somebody is a collector they may offer you something. From a flying point of view it isn't worth your time or effort.

The Cobra was a 50 size machine while its bigger brother, the competitor sported a zero-coning angle head and "60" size mechanics. The tail was wire driven and both used the same tail box.

For $300 you can get yourself a Sceadu Evo 50 and have a modern, reliable high performance machine. You would be disappointed in the Cobra's performance compared with today's machines and parts support must be nearly non-existent at this time.
