The price seem ok, BUT check if the replacements parts are available. I think then many parts are difficult to find.

WHAT ??? Parts available for an ES600 ??? HAA - HAA - HAA !
Mine has been restricted to very, very few flight for ages now - and I had a good stock of most parts that usually get damaged / wear out, before Esky stopped the production of this heli.

One day mine may be valuable as a collectors item of some sort - who knows ?
An Esky Esmart that still FLIES ! WOWEE !

HEY - Stranger things have happened !

Hey Cruzroy, I have a Rec. ready semi metal "E" for sale if your interested.. It has only been flown for set up. I also have many parts and will be having all the hard to find parts made or will have a subsatute from a comprable heli.
I have bought out a online shop and will continue to aquire as many as I can..
I/we will be openning a small online shop within the next two weeks..
I also have many many parts for the "G" smart as well as a couple complete birds..
The "G" is a GREAT starter nitro!!!
Please email me @ stsimmons@comcast.net if anyone needs parts

[Fatdaddy]

If your interested!!

[Fatdaddy]

Cruz, make that 125 +shippin for a plastic and 150 for a semi metal.. I also could do full metal with CF frames..

[cruzroy]

do you have a website....fatdaddy

[Fatdaddy]

I do not have a site as of yet!! I hope to soon..I'm/we are starting a little biz, it will actually be my two daughters and wife, for personal reasons. I'm hoping this biz will be something my daughters will like and continue to run after I'm ....well gone!!
I'm still waiting on price lists for the parts but can put heli kits together with no problem since I'm not going by any set prices for them..

Cool! I'd be interested in a bird when you're ready.

You've probably already thought about this, but I find that having a PayPal account helps a lot when selling on line, even if the fees are a little stiff.

They used to be reasonable but their fees are out of control now. Makes it hard to keep cost down.

Inflation is a REAL BITCH - - isn't it ? So is a factory that just pulls the plug on a popular model :-P

Just a week before Xmas, going on 4 years now, got the last G-Smart in stock from 'HiModels' in China.

Ordered 2 got the last one and was put on back order for the other one for 2 years. OMFGF !

They had both the E-Smart (up-graded version) & G-Smart for sale at US $119.92 each back then -
with free postage for the last week before Xmas :-)

The metal and plastic head version of the E-Smart had just sold out a few days earlier at US $99.93 each.

The G-Smart arrived was delivered by EMS just 3 days later - ! day before Xmas.
GREAT Timing :-)

I DO also have a couple G Smarts!!! Slightly used but in perfect shape!! I have one full metal "E" ready to go.. it is Rec. ready.. I have a CFPro being built now that has a custum paint job... it is done like a yellow checker cab!!?? I have no idea why it was done this way but looks pretty cool... Now it does not have to be sold like that, I could make it a regular Carbon Pro and I can do a regular full metal kit without all the electrics if you prefer... I also have mostly all the parts to support both the E and G Smarts.. I have the factory fiberglass painted canopys too...
I'm sorry I'm slow to get back to this forum sometimes but my life is sometimes/mostly crazy...
Also everyone please keep in mind that July 9,10&11 is my second Annual FunFly and everyone is invited!!! It is in South Jersey on my family farm!!

[Fatdaddy]

OH I forgot.... I DO have a PayPal account that will be used...only..That is the best way for everyone,,I really like the assurances that the buyer has using PP.. and I DO HATE that they take a slice but they ain't gonna do it for free!!
So yes payment will be with PayPal..
So....
Besides parts..
I can do... GSmarts..
Plastic ESmart 125.00-- 150.00
Semi metal/Metal "E" from 150.00
CFPro "E" from 175.00
Please keep in mind that these helis are NOT factory kits.. These are kits that I'm puttin together from factory kits and parts supplys that I have... ALL are guaranteed to be to your complete satsfaction!!!!
to be sure I get your message fastest please send email...stsimmons@comcast.net

Might want to look over some of the new rules in place at PP about feedback and so on.There really starting to screw the sellers. Seems like its getting more and more geared toward the buyer and the seller gets the short end of the stick. They get you on insertion fees then final selling fees them a percent of the funds transfer.Just seems like its getting tough to do business with them and turn a small profit.
Just a observation I've made over the last 6 months.
