Re: I find a brand new SBX Stealth Bomber
Thanks I like the strange craft(s)
Sure wish they could fly as cool as they look
Imagine two of the Star Wars fighters zooming around in a combat match

Re: I find a brand new SBX Stealth Bomber
Nice find. Both the box and the plane look to be in great condition. What are your plans for it? Edit.....I see, we were typing at the same time.
Surprisingly these Star Wars items and their look-alikes don't command the prices or interest that a Cox Stuka, AD-1, or P-40 does.
I only paid $40 at a flea market for mine, even less for the Flying saucer on ebay. Both NIB.

Wow, somebody is going to find somebody..........
If he gets it you did very good indeed.
Later, I checked mine against ebay offerings and found the BIN/offers prices about the same.

Re: I find a brand new SBX Stealth Bomber
I like designs like this myself. I never found anyone in particular to work properly. Generally too sensitive and when you need the power the most, gravity does it's best to let you know it's still there. When you offer up elevator, rather than the engine leaning, it goes rich due to the tank being in front of the engine. A real problem because it's the opposite when offering down. It makes for spectacular crashes as it usually pile drives the plane into the ground. My flying partner used a LA .46 in a pusher configuration. He made a tunnel inside the plane and a shaft with rag joints to connect to the engine in the front of the plane. The tank sat directly behind the engine and had a tunnel fabricated in the bottom to sit over the shaft to place centerline of tank within centerline of engine. Lots of work to make this happen at the cost of two engines to do so. Once it was working, it was a really cool plane. One day he was let's say showing off a bit and drove it into the ground from atop of the circle in a reverse wingover. It now resides in the corner of his shop.
