>This one says "appears to be in great working order, I can't see where any parts would be missing" ...

Really? Then, why did you photograph it only from the ONE angle that would not clearly show that the right cheek (left in the photo) has been broken right off?

Look at the shadow to be sure ...

>Bet that feedback will be interesting eh? I can't believe that anybody would buy this broken plane and pay S&H just for parts.

>I have to say this is the type of ebayer that ruins the fun for a lot of people. If you read the description, he describes the plane exactly as it is; all the parts appear to be their, and it is fully functional. Failing to mention that the thing is almost busted in half just aint funny in my book.

Not laughing in White Pigeon MI, and not looking forward to working another Saturday.

>I think anybody that bids on that plane and not see the damage is probably having thier German Shepard work the Key Board to bid...You would have to be blind to miss that side broken out!.I think if the ebay seller was trying to pull something they would have taken the photo from the good side and then you wouldn't see the damage. I think it is just a case of a non tool person selling something they don't know about and not "seeing" the damage because they don't know any better.....Todd
