    New job selling all RC.

    RC Equipment Sale

    This goes in one bunch, NO PARTING OUT. I do not need to sell but everything will continue to gather dust if no one bites. Grandkids will eventually have something to play with. If I know you I may make a slightly better deal for cash.

    Page only allows 5 pics so I put some of the spendy items in. I have beyond a boatload of pics, build pics, paint in progress, in process, documentation, etc, whatever on these boats and builds and they will all go with the sale for reference or whatever.

    ATTENTION******Warning****** this is NOT something for a person just starting out in the hobby. You will need a high degree of technical skill and know how on where to outsource/perform and get parts to finish these projects though a good percentile is already done, the purchaser will need to put it together and I will provide no additional follow up help once the purchase is complete. Buyer will receive sufficient explanation on theory and intent of all custom parts so they are not guessing... "What the hell does this do?" There is a lot left to do. If you are new to the hobby and have a ton of cash to burn look elsewhere, things like this will just frustrate and confuse new folks.

    Radios:

    One ea. 2.4 FASST 4PK Futaba with Pelican carry case, 2 receivers (R604FS) and a charger.

    One ea. Old School Nicad 2400 mAH 7.2v for powering the 5 gal jet fuel container.
    One ea. 11.1 Volt 2800 mAH utility Lipo pack. (Test stand running, radio/receiver support type stuff)
    One ea. LiFe2250 6.6v 2250 mAH 60c discharge Util pack.
    -------------------

    Charging Equip:

    Three ea. LBA10net balancers multi chemistry.
    One ea. Hyperion EOS 1210i charger/discharger
    One ea. Rev Electrix Switching Power Supply Model MS 1228. Input 220-240v--100-120v. Output 13.8 Volts MAX 28 amps

    Electronics:

    Loads of Emotech switches and receiver regulator, wires, adapters, electronic/magnetic/pin/switch etc.
    Two ea. Emotech 120-240 amp 6s to 14s Safety Power Switches (magnetic arm on/off with flags)
    Flashover sleeving, 6mm cable, lipo bags, lots of extras.

    Props.
    All props are from the Prop shop and Dasbota, Chris has done all the major work on these props, cut downs, unloading, sharpening, polishing except for the two big 5 blades, Chuck did the work on the big 5 blades and I can reference him if needed.
    propbox.jpg

    NOTE: The props have been statically balanced and dynamically balanced to 35k rpm at a factory balancing plant, SCHENCK, which balances actual aircraft turbines. I have ALL Target paperwork from the plant. This would have cost a small mint but the person doing the balancing ended up micro abrading the prop surfaces which he was told specifically not to do, but did any way to get the balance, they didn’t charge me for the job. The props cannot be modified any further or the balance will be lost. These blades will be great for sport running, everyday use but I am unsure as to the additional slip or cavitation the micro abrading may or may not cause if you were to try and use for racing. The big 5 blades have NOT been ran up and dynamically balanced.
    Note. PS is PropShop.

    **None of the blades have been tested since they came back with the exception of two PS 6518's I tested on the Platinum Princess and they pushed very, very hard.

    These blades are all 1/4 dog.
    Two ea. Octura X467L/2 polished slightly sharpened.
    One ea. Octura X470L/3. Slightly unloaded, polished, and slightly sharpened.
    One ea. PS 6518/3 Left and Right. Polished, sharpened, NOT unloaded, very slight back cut. This set bites very hard.
    One ea. PS 6516/3 left and right. Polished, unloaded, sharpened, very slight back cut.
    One ea. PS 6516/3 Left and Right. Polished, unloaded, sharpened, slight back cut.
    **One ea, Stainless Steel. Heavy. Cut down from 6516. PS 6316/3 Left and right. Polished, sharpened, unloaded, slight back cut.
    **One ea. PS 5 blade Left and Right side cut down from 70 to 65, polished, balanced, lightly sharpened. Not great performers but small five blades never are. Only ever got past 85 mph a couple times. Once these things start to cavitate it’s over, better for static looks and just putting around with endurance runs.

    Boats.

    Two Original HPR Hans Peter Rotschi Hulls. These are not liscensed copies, these were lovingly made by the man himself, NON bulletproof hulls.
    One ea. Codename Arclight. Professionally painted lightning theme. 73 inch Mystic HPR from Hanspeter. Bare insides, never built, started some work, never got back to it. Includes stingers, rudder (Partly installed), Rudder rams installed and a "boatload" of building supplies. Some custom parts, explained if and when purchased, included.
    finish15.jpeg
    One ea. Codename Platinum Princess, 92 inch HPR original from Hanspeter. Licensed by The Miss Geico racing team lawyer, have paperwork, ONLY legitimately licensed RC Giant scale boat I know of. This was my big FE monster before I gutted it and was prepping for turbines. The boat is prepped for turbines but bare inside. Outside is custom Platinum white paint professionally applied paintjob with all applicable graphics for the time period. I have extra sets of graphics.
    10.jpg
    The Platinum Princess includes installed rudder rams, rudder, stingers and a custom set of stinger adapters for eye candy, never got around to installing the custom drive for the stingers, made by Manuel. Custom Carbon fiber parts for the Turbines and other CF parts for the project. Custom exhaust that still needs to be fitted, Stainless fuel tanks, Stainless steel micro quick disconnects with JP5/JetA approved seals, stainless air intakes as the plastic and fiberglass versions kept ripping apart at speed. Spare flex shafts and drive shafts and a bunch of building supplies.
    There is also a custom boat liner and HD custom carrying bag with name for the Princess, both custom made, both extremely high quality, 2 man lift. Did I say the boat was big and expensive; it needed a commensurate carrying bag and liner. Liner fits inside the HD bag.
    One ea. 1/8 scale Miss Budweiser RTR Zenoah gasser, in very good/excellent condition. Needs just a touch of tlc.

    Turbines.
    turbines.jpg
    Two ea. Jetcat SPM-5 Turbines Left and Right rotation with instructions. Roughly 15 minutes of operation on each one to test the exhaust ducts. All supporting equipment kits to operate the set. I ordered this set with only one main controller to save a few bucks, it is mobile and will start both at the same time, only reason to have two is one would be backup. 5 gallon JetA container, strainer, electric pump.

    Ok, sticker shock time

    $15,000.00 thousand for everything, I will pay for shipping if I get the full amount or close to it. Also if I know you there may be a discount but again, I will not go very low. If I do go low shipping costs will be on you unless the buyer picks the stuff up personally.

    Serious inquiries only.

    To inquire use this email. It’s my junk email but I check it regularly. [email protected]

    Thanks for inquiring.

    NOTE: I will try to respond to inquiries on the OSE forums, it’s better to use the email. The base I am at overseas does not allow a lot of internet traffic. Steve, a big thanks for putting up with me and letting me post this non standard monster. Moderators if there are problems just take this down, no biggee. Thanks Sirs.

    James Watson.

        I didn't make him an offer. My message was that I knew that he is not parting out but that if he changes his mind that I would be interested in the futaba 4pk. No offers were made. I know the rules.

          Understood, but if someone else makes a post with the same interest, there will be problems if he does break it up.

            I talked to Steve to get an exception for the lot sale Diego. ****There will be no parting out as I already stated****. Diego I have several hundred photos, I posted the major stuff, the threads allows only 5 pics per post. Do you want me to make new re-posts with pics? let me know. I can do that.

              It looks like you have some items I could definitely use, along with some that I would have to part out. Do you have any more pics of the stuff you can send via email?

              Also, how committed are you to this being a "Lot deal" only? I understand not taking the time to part out every little piece to every Tom, Dick, and Harry, but are you interested in selling off a large portion?

                Yes *lot only* and as I stated I can haggle a small bit but not much. I understand there needs to be “meat left on the bone”, I know whomever buys this lot will keep some and sell off the rest.

                I will send a small group now.

                When Diego lets me know how many threads I can make on this I will post the entire list of pics on multiple threads if allowed.

                  You should be able to put all the pics here... just now go through and reply 5 times to this thread... and put "reserved" on the replies until you fill them in with pics... I think you can add as many pics as you want but only 5 per reply... something of that nature anyway... you won't have to start a thread for each set of 5 pics... just each reply on this thread add 5 pics.
