Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: xantos on October 04, 2013, 04:08:41 PM VC stop making me sound like Santa Claus !
OK Guy's here's the deal with these 2 planes. Both were built by me to a very good standard however I don't see myself flying these aircraft anywhere in future and my storage space is at a premium , these planes were living in a friends garage and have been evicted from their home therefore Im giving them away. With this background , please bear in mind flying off water is a technique and not for beginners, you need to be proficient with atleast aerobatic low wingers before you try your hand at this , although Im giving them away i'd still wish somebody who really needs it and is capable enough gets it. Therefore please don't mind if I ask some questions before I choose whom to give the airplanes to.

Presumably a form of greeting between bosom pals of same age... Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: Serial crasher on April 03, 2014, 11:00:09 PM I don't know if I qualify for this but I don't mind providing a home for one of these beauties. :)
Short intro : an absolute beginner got into this hobby 3 week back . Will keep the plane safe till I learn to fly properly . Will start training on Skysurfer soon. Now doing sim time :hatsoff: P.S. i understand if u disqualify me just thought will try my luck anyways :) Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: Ribz on April 04, 2014, 12:14:33 AM So adorable.. Available? I can pick it up :)
Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: v2 eagle on April 04, 2014, 12:24:39 AM Don't think this is for beginners,
seen lot of videos for this kind of crafts, needs lot of tools plus skills, at least higher than intermediate skills plus engine skills, a fishing rod and standard nitro kit. anyone who has good experience with nitros and a big shallow lake would do. good luck for the lucky ones.

Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: ajn9325 on April 27, 2014, 03:32:53 PM Hello sir!
I am Arjun, doing my aeronautical engineering. I have been flying a skysurfer and a scratch build highwing trainer using coroplast from a few months now. Have been planning on moving on to balsa wood models and your model will help me in both learning to fly better and also in making my own balsa models. I would love to take the balsa USA Northstar and would always be grateful for it. :help: Title: Re: Giveaway - Mariner 40 Float plane and a Balsa USA Northstar Post by: aruniyer on August 20, 2014, 10:41:44 AM Dear Sir
