Used Thermal Hopper $165 and up

It is nicely sorted out. I hope that he includes a signed copy of the transaction for provenance.

On the other end of the spectrum, I'm amazed at the present asking prices for what was once considered junque. Testors Fly-em's etc. for example.

yep, the plastic stuff from the 70's is starting to bring good money, i was done with them by then and had little interest,
considered them crap, compared to the cool plastic stuff of the 60's

Loved those pictures Mark, the guy was really into free flight.  Engines too, the RR-1 really stands out.

I haven't learned my lesson yet.  I have a bid on this tail-less P-40 as much for the handle and spinner as anything else.  The last one I rebuilt with no tail turned out well.  I would say that most of the 20 or so damaged C/L models I have repaired have had broken or missing tail sections, balsa or plastic makes no difference.  Are they crashing tail first...…..



Sitting at $11.50 right now but someone will push my substantial bid past the limit.
