Well some deals are just too good to pass on!
Well what's a guy to do? I fly cheap DTFB electric planes! My friend at work comes up and says "Hey I know you like top wing planes and like to slow fly, why don't you buy my trainer?" Normal banter ensues, OK how much? "$150.00 for the works" Well let me talk to the funds manager (wife) She said ok!
I am really going off the reservation with this! I now own a Hanger 9 Alpha 40 with complete flight box and radio! NITRO!
The flight box The Bird!

Wow all that for $150, nice deal. SO one question remains: Why is not in the air yet?
Good luck on the maiden.

Re: Well some deals are just too good to pass on!
Thanks everyone! It will be a bit till she is ready, has not flow in 2 years so the NiCad's are DOA and the fuel clunk is stuck to the bottom of the tank, the carb throttle shaft was gummed up but with some alcohol and auto trans fluid mixed, it loosened up. engine feels like the compression is good, was a little stiff but again a little ATF loosened it up. I don't have any nitro yet (on order along with batteries) so I guess ATF wont hurt it to clean with as ATF has detergents and good lubrication quality. I also got the JR 72 MHz radio with it! will keep ya's updated.

Re: Well some deals are just too good to pass on!
Dan K Reed on RC heli Nation uses ATF on his when he stores for winter. The detergents will help with cleaning and with the other lubricants in ATF it should free everything up and give you a better assessment of the motor. You may want a set of rings just in case.
