Selling for friend RES sailplane never built. This is a pure glider but I found an electric pod on the shelf. Some work was done with this pod but it is new anyway. The original glider pod can be easily converted to electric as well. Asking 980 CAD, both pods included (spare?)

Several Sailplanes for sale

Andy M — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 09:05:08 +0000

Please contact Dave Surry ( david.surry@gmail.com ) if interested in any of these sailplanes and make an offer. Sorry but photos of the planes even at minimal file size exceed the attachment quota, so see the email to SOGGI members for photos. I tried adding the photos in a separate post, but they still don't show.

1) This is a 78" span model I call the Mini-Oly II as it uses an Oly III wing section which is one of the best I have come across; thinner and more efficient than that on the standard Butterfly trainer, for example (see below). It is somewhat experimental as it only has ailerons and elevator (no rudder; although it was designed so that it could be modified to add one, if desired). In fact, it flies well as is, although a little slower to turn at low speeds, ie on landing. The fuselage is an Olympia fiberglas fuzz offered originally as a mod for the original Olympic. It has a Turnigy 3530-1100 motor, 30A ESC and uses a 3S 2200mAh LiPo.

2) This is from a Butterfly kit, omitting the undercarriage and with a modified wing having an Oly III section; 103" span; much flown. It also has a drag brake at the bottom of the fuselage to get it to come down a bit faster if needed. It hinges down at 45 degrees. The power system is the same as (1). Rudder and elevator and drag brake controls.

3) This is a more recent modified Butterfly, again with the efficient Oly III wing section, but a different dihedral set-up and a separate flat centre section that has a spoiler. It can be flown with or without the 12" centre section. Without the centre section, it is similar in size (85" span) to another of my models (not offered) which I found to be very successful. This wing layout can also be used on the fuselage of Butterfly I. That's what I first experimented with, and then decided to build the wings their own fuzz and empennage. Same power setup as above, Rudder and elevator controls on smaller version; also spoiler on the larger span.

4). This is a Scooter, a kit offered by the Spirit of Yesteryear. 10' span with spoilers and flaps; conventional elevator. Similar power set up except Axi 2820/12 motor with Thunderbird 36A ESC.

5) A rather ancient T-tailed model but flies well and still going strong This was originally a Springbok slope soarer kit built in the UK in 1970-71. Flown at Hamilton once as a slope soarer by Jack Humphries. Since no slopes in London, I extended the wings to 8' span and flew it as a thermal soarer. Similar power setup to 1-3. Rudder and elevator controls.

Selling model stuff

Alex N — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 18:35:55 +0000

Hi fellows. As some of you know already, our good friend and long time COGG member Ivan Marchenko has passed away recently. His widow asked me to try to sell his models related stuff so it may support her in that difficult time. Before to list it on the forums I would like to start with contacting to club members. First, Zoya prefers to sell the stuff to people who knew Ivan and that will serve to somebody here. Next, it helps to avoid shipping and save time and money.
Except the models, Ivan had other models and tools not listed here. This is assorted stuff which not easy to sort. So, the idea is: if you have time and you will drive to Newmarket you can visit Zoya and take something what you may need paying symbolic price.

Note please, I do not know a history of these models and much of details about. If the prices seems not reasonable make an offer. I only did a brief check and approximate evaluation. The price are in USD because everything was prepared to RCgroups so convert to CAD yourself please.
Thank you

I have a number of wings,tails and fuselages that came into my possession that need a new home. The original builder Ronald Higgs, was a world competitor. These models are beautiful built but need some TLC to get them flying again. I will be at the field tomorrow to give them away to whoever wants them.
