Its based on the old Hirobo 1/6.3 scale kit, (no longer for sale). modelled after an actual crop dusting 47G. Easy to fly, been re-engined twice I think for more realistic/better performance! The petrol tanks are hidden! all lights including nav lights work, Two sets of spare blades!
Weighs about 15 Lbs, It belonged to a modelling friend who has moved on to motorbikes, I just could bare letting it end up on ebay or somewhere where it wouldn't be appreciated!

Here are a couple more pictures!

Actually what I really got was an ImmersionRC RF Power Meter

Got to say it has opened my eyes a little after doing some antenna and TX tests

Very impressed with the performance of the DIY 5.8ghz VTX kit, giving 705mW and some of the cased antenna that I had assumed were cased because they weren't great build quality inside tunred out to be the best performing antenna of them all and I'd stopped at just getting samples in, never really tested them, they even out perform the open design one's which have served me well and are visibly great quality builds
Also the wide band 2.4Ghz/5.8Ghz did actually perform OK comapratively with some of the others, yet to test on 2.4 though against some 2.4Ghz skew/clover

Yes they are good value considering the marginal cost (albeit under-used after testing everything to hand) To be able to use it to its full potential, some sma adapters are almost essential

Yes I have shed loads of RP-SMA and SMA adaptors here, even 90 deg ones
I hope to use mine more than some as I'll be testing new VTX's and new antenna as they come out

Really was impressed with the DIY 600mw giving out 705mw though, unfortunatly I was too lazy to put my reading glasses on when plugging stuff in though and fried one of my TS832 transmitters  :-[

This one sounds a bit weird! Need to stay in today so that I can refuse a parcel from parcelforce!  if it gets signed for then I will have to pay return postage! Refuse to sign and it gets returned free (at both ends)

Can I ask what you paid?
I have V1 doms and wondered about the second hand value!
Mine also has the 5.8g vRx but the early (slightly deaf) one

Yeah I paid £160 posted , came with battery ,leads, case and nexwave vrx. They seem to be going on eBay for around  £170-£180. Even without vrx.
