Hmmm, at first glance this seems like a superb deal. I think the
following information is true, however;<br>

originally posted this to rcgroups</a> as an F3J Xplorer with the
nose chopped off for a motor. It weighs a somewhat portly 64 oz RTF
with a Neu motor, ESC, and I assume some type of LiPo battery. <br>
<br>
This is the first version of the Xplorer 3 F3J (I bet it still has a
tow hook), so it can take any kind of winch launch or hand tow you
can throw at it without fear of butterflying the wings. <br>
<br>
Later versions of the Xplorer 3 (and the Explorer F5J) have a taller
vertical stab/rudder. <br>
<br>
It's still a pretty good deal, depending on what you're looking for,
it's just not a true Explorer F5J (spelled with an 'E') - those
generally come in under 45 oz with motor, ESC, and 800mAH LiPo. <br>
<br>
John Hsu is a very nice guy, and I would not hesitate to do business
with him. <br>

<div class="">John lives in a very small apartment. He has just
taken delivery on a couple Ultima 2’s, and no longer has room
for this glider. The plane looked very clean and well
maintained to me. I think the airframe alone was about
$2,000.00 new. Looks like a great buy and value for someone.
Still a very competitive airframe.</div>
