My friend Wally attended a huge swap meet in Austin Tx last weekend.  I sent some cash with him just for grins, not knowing what I might end up with. About halfway through my workday last Saturday, he calls me and says he just bought me a Kyosho Zero for $25. That was cool, it's a nice electric warbird, right?

Sunday afternoon, he shows up at my door with this:

Fiberglass fuselage, sheeted foam wings, glass cowl, nice mostly assembled model.  Attached to it were an Enya 53 four stroke, a set of retracts, three new JR standard servos and a Futaba retract servo.  Did I mention all of this cost me $25?  Even we losers get lucky sometimes.... :notworthy:

Here now is the dilemma: do I keep and fly it, or do I finish it, sell it and get one of these:

So many airplanes, so little cash.

Yes, I have a camera, but I think I left the download cable on the bumper of the truck.  :eek5:

Well, I guess it depends on which side you are one............ :icon_lol: :icon_lol: :icon_lol:

I'd say finish the zero and fly it!

I vote for the TA 152, but man has Kyoshos prices went up since I have looked last. But then that isn't a 40 size either.
