Cool!

Current Bid $1049.19! That's cheap!

Does Gary know anything about that kind of round motor?

I worked on them for Zantop. we had allison D-501 or military T-56.. They require more work than a JT-8, always something wrong on a line turn. Of course ours were rode hard but I bet those were to.
The prop oil was always low and and A 12" ladder is required equipment.

That would be a nifty little toy.

Seems as though the price has gone up. I'm also interested to know which military the airplane came from.

Cheers,

David

Guessing by the green/white roundel behind the wing tank and the blotted
tail flash, I'd say Royal Saudi Air Force.
