Man, with the way I saw you fly in Nash, I didn't think you were ever afflicted with "dumb thumbs"!
:shock:
:shock:
KeyKey needs a new Fatty!
Well Bro's it with sincere regret that I must inform you of the untimely death of a near and dear friend of mine. On October 17 at approximately 3:00pm the beautiful flying 36% Edge belonging to KeyKey Kimball was pronounced dead at the scene from causes unknown (dumbthumb) 
I took my eyes off it in a TR to spot people accross the runway retreiving a plane from a tree and when I looked back it was too late. Dumped it right there were it was TR'ing. So now it's time to move on........
Just curious if any bro's out there have or know of a good 33-36% out there for sale. I'd really like to get my hands on a plane that I can put my motor and radio in but I am entertaining the idea of buying one complete so that I can have a back up. Im currently looking at a 35% Carden Extra 330 thats in SC but Im going to do more homework before I do.
Any Bro's out there have any experience with the 35% Carden Extra. I was flying the Edge and loved the way it 3D'ed and I hate the idea of giving that up. I dont have any experience with Extra's but hear they are better IMAC planes. Im more concerned with how the plane will 3D but I do like the idea of being able to IMAC if I decide later on.
Any thoughts....suggestions....large scale plane donations.....

Hey man,
Sorry to hear about the loss! I just so happen to have a 2.6 meter Composite ARF Extra Schulman Scheme that I'm seriously considering selling. It's NIB. It's the same airplane that Ricky Barrett and I are currently flying. It is an ARF so you basically need to do the radio and engine install. You can see photo of it on the Composite ARF website. www.composite-arf.com I origonally purshased it before I bought the Extra I am currently flying. My origonal plan was to keep it as a backup airframe. I guess I have been lucky that my other Extra has survived this long. Anyway, you can have it for $1100.00 A new one is $1340.00 plus shipping which runs just under 100 bucks. All the equipment you had in your Edge should work in the Extra. If you are interested just send me a PM. I would rather not subject it to the perils of shipping, so I might be willing to meet you half way.
Mark

you are wise guy my friend. Comp arf, DA and JR 8611 is indeed the best combo.capthis said:
Oh and KeyKey, please don't ask Brian for an advise because you will end up with a 35 lbs 33% plane powered by a Zenoah GT-80 and of course good ole Hitec shit in it. But I think you know that, so take that (bad azz) offer from MarK and jump on it before Brian tries to buy it and throws Hitec and a Homelite engine on it.
How about this...$399.00 out the door
Wingspan: 84"

When you get to 35% Stud Stature, it would be a bitter pill to swallow to go back to a 84"er
But ol' KeyKey is richer'n 3 foot up a bull's ass, he'll have a new victim...er, plane before long (he's been saving his $$$ I hear, not sure buying a replacement plane was quite what he had in mind :shock: )
