Top Flite ARF Nobler. **SALE PENDING**
When I received it, there was a crack in the leading edge sheeting. I
had to repair it, recovered with matching monokote - but it doesn't
exactly match. I shrunk the monokote on all the components, but had
problems with wrinkles & bubbles which I couldn't get out, and in the
process made some marks with the heat iron, especially on the flaps.
I replaced the monokote in 2 spots on the fuselage, again it does not
quite match.
I have replaced the leadouts with heavier ones. The only other work I
have done is to cut out the air inlet on the cowl.

Frankly, I have lost patience with it. If you don't care about looks,
it will make a fine model. Otherwise it is a candidate for stripping
the covering and recovering with the material of your choice.
Because of the above issues, I am selling
for $50 including shipping, CONUS only.
It is in the original box, with all hardware. It includes both the
metal & plastic fuel tanks. I will even include the remaining roll
of "matching" monokote.
