Good for you. Congrats! I have seen some lots of Super Cub parts for sale on ebay over here, but the shipping costs alone usually makes them a poor choice for me. Over here, I really haven't seen anything SC related at all on ebay that was a bargain that beats out just going to my local hobby shop at the prices. Let us know how much damage was in need of repair to get your fleet up into flying shape.

'A bird is just a bird and a cat is just a cat, but a dog is HUMAN.' - Just met my first doggy toff -He's overweight ( like me), smallish ( like me), cuddly ( not like me), very friendly( like me), and, if you scratch him in the right place, he's your friend for ever ( hmmmm, yep, like me, ask the missus!  ) Got to wait a bit for pickup. Only an hour or so away, but the weekend has plans, so might have to wait a while before I get my hands on them.... I really like that pitts! |

Well, finally collected. Not a bad buy for £22.00. 2 definite flyers ( The pitts only needs the landing gear fixing and a good clean up. The PZ spitfire IIB needs some hot water to remove dings in the wings, new spinner, prop ( same as the supercub), and a general tidy up. Both need new electrics. The pitts only needs a new RX, the spitfire still has the original PZ RX/ESC combo and the 5 wire servos). The PZ P51 'furious frankie' needs a new wing, cowl, spinner,prop and the front fuselage repairing. New electrics - has the RX/esc combo and 5 wire servos. Needs a good clean. The zero is a 3 channel 'toy' ( looks like the GWS zero, but is elevator and rudder controlled. Needs a new RX, but has standard 3 wire micro servos and brushed esc. Needs a new canopy, a good clean, and some minor repair work. All have Tamiya mini connectors fitted for the batteries -  , so that's 3 deans and a JST connector to be fitted as well. I also gained a parkzone z10 controller, a skysport 4 TX and an unbranded 4 channel TX. Also quite a few spare parts in a bag ( servos, motors, Rx's, gearbox, landing gear, etc....) Keep me busy for a while...!!!  |

I am sure Lord Crazy Horse is incensed that there was no Marmite in the collection!

Well, the spitty is in full working order. Needs some filler and a bit of re-covering, but beyond that, all is good. I'm sticking with the brushed motor for now, with the PZ 10x8. On a 3s it's 177 watts at 12. something amps ( using a 35 amp lipo fly brushed ESC) AUW is 1.9 lbs with a 2200 mah lipo, so it should fly like a warbird as well!
