Photo Sky Surfer - SOLD!


OK guys, gotta clear the basement big time now!

Up for grabs is the original Japanese Sky Surfer R/C paraplane - the rare Photo edition. This has both the standard, and enlarged parafoils, enhanced engine and custom prop. I have a 27m AM recv. in the gondola, with an extra servo/channel for attaching and triggering a camera - or whatever. You can swap out anything else you want with it.

This can ROG on pavement flies REALLY smooth and slow in windless conditions - great for floating hi above and getting pix, or fly it just feet above the ground at a walking pace! :-) Even do little low-level stunts and obstacle courses with it - the Europeans were even using these in indoor competitions!

It's so slow and easy to fly, the whole family can get into the act, without you sweating an imminent crash like with zippier R/C craft. And you'll feel better about lofting your nicer small cameras, iphone, DVs, candy droppers - whatever - in it.

Don't confuse this with the cheapo Chinese knock-offs that came later. This is the real, original, custom Japanese model that I custom ordered and had shipped special over from the Green Corp. for about 5x the cost of the later low quality clones.

It comes adapted w/ Deans plugs, and I have a couple of older LIPOLY packet batteries with it (haven't used them in years, tho).

Throw in an extra $7 or so and I can throw in a pretty beat AM transmitter (wooden cover replacing the missing batter cover :-) I can throw in, tho' it will add to weight :-(.

Disassembled and shipped 2U $125.

Ohhh... the uses I could think of for this neat little gadget! I am SO glad someone else bought this and removed the temptation. I would just get into trouble with this. Jim

BTW, IF you thermal and do heights with these babies like the above video, make sure you have some weight in it and be very familiar with the hard-right "corkscrew dive" emergency maneuver!

Why?
here's a hint:

This was my SECOND custom Photo Sky Surfer! :borg:
