Default Any rc airplane enthusiast on here?

Im trying to sell my rc piper cub that has never been flown or even started. I thought I would give you guys the first go at it. I have no idea how much to sell the thing for because I dont know much about rc planes. There rudder is in ok shape it came out of the box damaged I dont think any of the wood is broken its just rinkled. There is also a small inprint on the left wing which is smaller than a quarter. Any offers?

I would be interested. Pm me a price, we can dicker on on it then. I need to know what all comes with it, Ie radio and such. The tail looks busted to me. I know that can be fixed, but matching the color could be a problem. Hopefully stretching it is all it needs. What is the wingspan and engine size? It looks to a .40, but I don't recognize the brand. Btw, that clunky, heavy motor mount has to go!!!

THe antenna looks like it is a spectrum, and I have a 5 acre lot that has had its share of planes take off and a few have landed there too. SOme made conversions. Woody

~ looks to be an arf ... and the monocoat on the rear vertical should be an easy fix with a heat gun or iron.

Hey guys sorry I have had a busy day today. My ignition decided to lock up so I had to get my car towed and drilled out the locking pin. Then I went out for a drive with some new friend. I did beat up on a 03 s2000 and a 99 mustang gt. I will post all the information tomorrow morning with some more pictues.

Here is the websites for everything that I have for the plane.
Piper J-3 Cub 40 PNP (HAN4025): Hangar 9
Spektrum RC
http://www.wholesaletrains.com/Detai...p?ID=200408549
Wholesale Trains, Model Train, RC Helicopter, RC Airplane, RC Boat, Garden Railroad, Park Flyer, Parts, Services
This is the kit I bought and the website below show the individual parts that came in the kit.
Hobbico Deluxe Power Panel II
Hobbico Locking Glow Plug Clips
Hobbico TorqMaster Batteries
Its the 7a with the charger.
Hobbico Top Fueler Mk III
Hobbico Ultra-Tote Field Box
It still needs some things put onto it and needs to be painted.
Hobbico Torqmaster Starters
Hobbico Recoil Fuel Tubing
It has the fittings to attach to the fuel bottle.

Im thinking 450 + shipping for everything. Everything is still brand new nothing has been used.

Hey I got the plane a long time ago when I was really into flying. My dad and I built a couple gliders, then I saw this plane and thought I could use it as a tow plane but never got around to putting it all together. By the time I got all the money and pieces together I never had the time to go out and fly it. Then It ended up in storage and I never took it out then just forgot about it. I found it a couple weeks ago and decided to get rid of it. I have a couple rc boats and cars still that I love to mess around with but this plane is to big to just have sitting around.
