810 forum posts | Apparently they are full scale and supposedly off Moths that had been used for cropdusting. Apparently, they have been in the corner of a hanger for some 40 years. The seller states that they will need recovering and the structure will need checking over!! Cant see why on earth he's saying that. |

![]() 9658 forum posts 1143 photos 10 articles | THis one is interesting. An OS Max FP and probably worth the asking price as it looks to have had very little use But I like the way the nose has just been sawn off in one piece and all the servo plugs are missing.. Could this be a lost model found?? |

![]() 5846 forum posts 227 photos | That's a strange one Peter! If a non-flyer has found it I can kind of understand them sawing the front off - if it looks like that's the "valuable" end and the rest of the fuz is just a crumpled mess. But cutting off the servo plugs? Weird! |

3384 forum posts 151 photos | You are absolutely right Peter, FPs are a good motor, its just that particular one could have been up a tree for a year and does look a mess It will clean up, but you would get a clean motor cared for at £40, not from. a tree The appearance of absolutely no care, for whatever length of time really drops its value |

![]() 3197 forum posts 533 photos | I'm pretty pleased with my OS 40FP which I boughtas an eBay purchase from an elderly couple in the Brecon Beacons. It belonged to their son who had left home and given up the hobby. I have it installed in a SLEC Fun Fly. At first it was a bit of a barker until I fitted a Just Engines Super Quiet silencer. I use the model as a general sport flyer and an advanced trainer for those beginners who are not quite A Cerificate standard. £40 is about as much as I'd expect to pay for an FP. £20-£25 would be nearer the mark for one in that condition.

![]() 3197 forum posts 533 photos | PS. £40-£45 is the going rate for a good 40-52 four-stroke. There are lots of nice second-hand two-strokes available for even less. |
Peter Miller | 04/03/2017 18:08:52 |
![]() 9658 forum posts 1143 photos 10 articles | Well I have to say that I watch for four stroke on Ebay and haven't seen any down as low as that, Even the pre4 Surpass 40s go for more that that £70 seems tbe the going rate |

![]() 7683 forum posts 427 photos | From my experiences buying small four strokes it's often cheaper to buy a complete model with engine than it is to buy the same engine advertised on it's own! If the airframe is airworthy then it's just a bonus. |

This is a rare find indeed. They have not been made for several years. They are really lovely. |
