120” (3 METRE) POWERHOUSE OLD TIMER AIRFRAME
Listing ID: 150712

Built a few years ago, this is an upsized version (143% roughly) of the original Sal Taibi design of the 1930’s, which is 84” (2.2m) span. It’s well constructed and is a delightful flyer. I am selling the airframe with 3 servos, switch, battery and (large) tank. I currently have a Saito FA220 Zeus in it – probably about three times the power it really needs, but it’s all I had at the time! The engine is NOT for sale in this deal.

I’ve worked out the wing loading at something less than 8oz/sq.ft, meaning that it is in the thermal glider range. Yet it is so big and robust that it handles quite a stiff breeze.

The fuselage is just a smidge over 2 metres in length, and the tailplane is removeable, but probably not ideal if you drive a small hatchback….

I’m asking $200 or near offer and, as you will appreciate, this one is local pickup only. I’m in Jerrabomberra NSW, just on the eastern border of the ACT.
