TBM 31% ONE DESIGN $600 ***SOLD
This is one of the last of the original TBM 31% One Design airplanes. It weighs in at 14 lbs with a ZDZ 40RV and mufflers. The ZDZ-40 is the third engine in the airframe, and has less than 30 flights on it. It runs perfectly. The plane is well used with 200 flights, and still flies great. At $600, you are getting a great deal considering the ZDZ-40 with Pitts muffler cost almost that much, so you are getting the plane, servos, prop, spinner, etc for almost nothing. We cannot ship because the stab cannot be removed. We checked with Pac Mail and they want $400 to pack it and ship it, so it's best if you can pick it up. It is ready to fly, in fact we just flew it on 11/22/2007 before we put it up for sale. This plane is 7 years old. Please call us at (941) 342-8685 for info. It is in Sarasota Florida. |

WARNING - Gasoline and Turbine powered aircraft are not manufactured to withstand unlimited G's. Any aircraft can fail, be it a wing folding up or a fuselage breaking in half under too high of a load. Just as any full size aircraft, model aircraft have a maximum G rating. Because you are not in the plane flying it and experiencing the G's and reading the G-meter, it is more difficult to judge the G's on the aircraft, and it is very easy to exceed the limits of the aircraft. Understand that if you perform a snap roll, parachute, wall, blender, knife edge loop, or pull hard on the elevator at almost any speed, you can be putting in excess of 15 G's, even in excess of 30 G's, and most aircraft can only designed to take 10-12 G's. If you perform any violent maneuver, you can break your plane. When I perform hard maneuvers, especially for the first time on an airframe, I am prepared for a failure and am prepared for it as best I can be. This mainly includes performing the maneuver far enough away from spectators that in event of a failure that I am not endangering others. In addition, be prepared for the manufacturer to not pay for a new airframe which is broken during flight. It is common practice for any manufacturer to not replace an airframe which breaks in the air or upon landing. I have only seen manufacturers replace airframes when they have received many of the same failures and the manufacturer determines that there was a design or manufacturing error. If you break an airframe, and you are the only one to do so, then it is probably not the fault of the manufacturer. Please fly safely, and avoid full throttle operation other than at low airspeeds.
