One mans rubbish is anothers treasure

[Chris in Kabul]

It's hard to believe but someone actually bought this on e-bay for just over 23 quid including postage.
Unless that is some rare motor on the front they hope to restore I can't for the life of me see anything remotely useful on it.
Might be a subject for a caption though. It's about the only use I can see for it. Oh wait, that cord could be useful for keeping my trousers up  :D

I new it was a bad idea to fix the table to it.
:laugh:G

Seriously? I'm struggling to think of any use for that.

Old style pub on display in the background maybe?? Or something to chuck in a "Horse and Carriage" style shop?

I need to go to the tip!

It's a useful reminder that just because it looks from your fpv camera like you can fit between the trees - you do need to remember the width of your plane.  :)

It could be the motor that is worth something. I still have an original Mills 75 that fetch good monies. This cost me a long time ago five bob that was in a odds bin at a LHS that is no more.

Its an old control line model, you can see the two control wires sticking out the side of the fuselage to which you would connect the long wires from the control handle. The engine looks to be an old Fox(USA) plain bearing 15/19 without any throttle - as you would for CL. Not worth the effort to throw it in the bin :laugh: :laugh:
As the old saying goes "A fool and his money are easily parted". Aint that the truth!

[FPVSteve]

[Dizzy]

[Flypoppa]

I don,t expect we will ever know why the buyer did buy it.
Yet another of life's mysteries that will never be solved. :'(

Upon waking the next morning with a minging hangover, Trevor could be heard muttering to himself "pretty sure it had wings last night ......"
