Had One Crashed one.....here’s a better deal. Who wants a Td010 for less than $100?

Go. For. It.

Red meat or meat loaf, who can tell?? Buy it and find out. You can always send it back if it ain't right!!! I think, check the listing. Nobody wants to buy beat meat... I know cheap shot, Mark

Upon closer inspection that TD-3 does look a lot like mine did after my uncle (the expert) did a figure 9 on its maiden!! I don’t think the whole front of the engine mount is supposed to be surrounded by a air gap! That fragile plastic did not take much to crack and crumble.

I've been buying engines and parts from this guy for a few
years, and he's a straight up person. Look at the items sold,
and the feedback rating. Always a positive transaction.

Hey Bob, you being the Airacobra expert and all, I don't recognise those main gear legs on the listed aircraft. Is that a modification? Nothing like that on my Day Fighter.

Rod.

Unfortunately no. The TD-3 was my Christmas gift back around ‘58-‘59. I was too young to fly it, so my Mothers Brother and my Dad were Pilot and pitman. That plane hung from the ceiling on fishing line above my dresser from Christmas till late spring early summer while I spent hours practicing turning in circles so I wouldn’t get dizzy when the time came to fly it, but never got the chance. No video, just fond memories! lol!

And dear ol' dad crashed it beyond repair before first lap, right?

Rod there are too many variations of these to cover here, I should do a page. There are at least 12 different applications/differences in these pictures, finding them should be easy despite my poor photography. Got to get away from those fluorescents.

My best and worst examples. Un-flown, un-fueled to rode hard and put away wet. (My favorite)

Edit add: I just noticed, it's located in Lusby Maryland just over the bridge from where we once lived. I worked for the fellow's son that the town was named for. RIP CBL.

The Testors Jungle Fighter is very bare bones-- cheap poly wheels, no bell crank cover etc.
