Greetings all,

I hate to do this but due to the loss of my brother two weeks ago and my general need of money due to not working all this time I need to sell off some of my collection.

First up, I have my t-rex, it has never been put hard into the ground, the only wrecks have been a boom strike in windy condtions which was completly repaired, and not long ago I was hovering it in out LHS and someone opened the door and it drifted into a rack of clothes which popped off the top pully for the belt drive tail, which has not been repaired yet. The blades on the heli have a few chips in the leading edge caused my flying from agravel driveway at home.

It comes with spare main and tail blades, main shafts, feathering shafts, grips, landing gear, pretty much a large wells tocked crash kit. I have upgraded the mixing levers to grey align aluminum mixing arms as I wanted the grips to break in a crash as it is more ecinomical to replace grips (2 sets of grips in a package are cheaper then one set of mixing levers that come with bearings) I have taken the stock eccpm t-rex and replaced all the yellow plastic with white plastic (I liked it asthetically better). It has 3 hitec hs 65 cyclic servos, a hs50 tail servo (installed) and an airtronics digital tail servo not currently installed but included. It has the stock Align 420lf 3200kv motor, the stock rce-bl25t esc, and (to kill my esc glitching issue) a kontronics Jazz 40-6-18 esc installed (was pricy!)

It won't include the gy401 gyro the hitec reciever or the optic 6 radio however as I wish to retain them for my next heli, a 50 size nitro which should work in these costal winds a bit better. Oh yeah, the t-rex only comes with the stock yellow canopy, I plan to retain my canopy as it was such a pain to paint ;)

Heli and spare parts bare: $150
servos add $100
stock esc/motor add $50
Jazz esc add $100
apogee 1500mah lipo add $30

I also have a stock blade cp I have gotten annoyed at, first $50 stakes it. :rolleyes: It's all there except for the 4-in-1 case screws (was trying to put a real gyro in the mix) and one of the tail bearings (the shop blade cx needed it, the little trooper... battle scarred and willing to take more)

Thanks guys, it took about 2 weeks to lay him to rest, My mother (who raised him from birth in 86 and had legal guardianship) and his birth mother(who had given up her parental rights in 86) went round and round to the point where the birth mother got the military to send her the death benefits which made my mom pay for all the funeral... This is not how family is supposed to act... thankfully we can start our healing now... :(

I thank you for your kind words, don't think I'm going to stop coming here though... I'm moving the helis to hopefully get a 30-50 size bird as at times (well ok maybe most the time) the winds due to living on the coast of Oregon make learning to fly the heli a constant fight to maintain control of the heli. Though I have done really well in the wind :)
