FS: 58% FORD Pitts / Valach210 RTF (One of a Kind!!)
 
Well... I've decided to sell my most beloved plane of all times!!... my 58% Exclusiv Modellbau 58% Pitts S1S.

Despite being it's 2nd season since I built this beauty, it is absolutely 100% Mint Condition. There is nothing I can see that couldn't enter it in as a show-plane

I have 85 flights on this plane in 2011 and 36 flights in 2012. At the beginning of 2012, I took out my 4-cylinder and put in one of the most awesome motors on the market.... the Valach 210cc 4-stroke, twin cylinder and it swings a Fiala 36x14 prop with authority!!!

Reason for the Sale:
* I've had such a blast with this combo, but time to move on. I'm selling it now, while it is MINT condition!!!! Everything works 110%
* I would like to sell due to space issues, LOL
* I will be starting another Exclusiv Modellbau kit this winter.

- has been run on 32:1 since break-in

- 36 trouble-free flights on it today... the ultimate motor!!!

* Pitts exhaust for Valach210
- purchased from Tony-Clark in Germany at beginning of 2012
- have receipt
- Gives the Valach a unique sound that only a Kolm can match!!!

Crazy eh!?

One of those weak moments and I'll surely regret this.

I've been debating doing this for some time now and always never get as far as hitting the "post" button, LOL!!

Main reason... Just too big. Second reason... Need to make space for another bipe build!!
