Hirth 2702 offered for sale, NO RESERVE

This engine is a real jewel from our spring cleaning sale.

The ebay link is here:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hirth-2702-engine-NO-RESERVE-/300914763577?pt=Motors_Aviation_Parts_Gear&hash=item460feae739&vxp=mtr

If the link doesn't work, search for "belite aircraft" on ebay.

Offered without reserve, this Hirth 2702 motor is about 13 years old.  Documentation is included, and total time on the engine is believed to be 280 hours.

We repaired the redrive and replaced the starter motor with a new one.  We haven't fired this engine up, but believe it to be in excellent condition.  The redrive had some broken bolts which we fixed.

It would be ideal for our Belite aircraft (although you'd have to pay spectacular attention to weight) and it would also be ideal for many other ultralights as well.

The photos show it very well.  It is a beautiful engine.  Also included is a very partial motor mount with bushings.

Our terms and conditions are:

1)  Offered "As Is", believed to be in good condition.
2)  PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE crating & shipping.  Check with Kathy for creighting and UPS freight quotation to your location.  Check early!!!! in the bidding process.
3)  NO RESERVE.  :-)
4)  If you are the winning bidder, you must pay within 24 hours of auction close.
5)  Your destination must be served by UPS.
6)  You MUST, MUST, MUST pay by PayPal.  Do not bid if you don't have PayPal.
7)  By entering a bid, you are entering into a legal binding contract to purchase the item. Please do not bid if you are unable to comply with the terms of the sale and eBay policies, or are unsure/unable to pay, or have no intention to purchase the item.  People who do that kind of stuff *really* irritate us.

Simonini Engine for sale -- NO RESERVE

Our spring cleaning ebay sale continues at Belite Aircraft.

This beautiful little Simonini engine would be perfect for the parachute guys or very light ultralight aircraft!

It was used for a few hours, then hidden away for several years.

I don't know what model it is.  That makes it even more interesting, right?

NO LONGER AVAILABLE:  Gyrocopter blades

I wandered around and found several goodies which are gathering dust.  I'm putting every one of our goodies up for sale on eBay, as we have done in the past.

Today we are featuring GYROCOPTER BLADES --- really!  Purchased from Vortech probably 4 years ago, these beauties are extruded aluminum, dimensions are 6" x 10', and are offered absolutely without warranty or guarantee of fitness for any application.

Terms and Conditions are:

2)  Price includes crating, but DOES NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING.  Check with Kathy for truck freight quotation to your location.  Check early!!!! in the bidding process.

I'm very pleased; this is the first professional article I've written for the computer forensic professional.

I have spoken professionally on Computer Forensics many, many times, for instance, next week at Techno Security in Myrtle Beach, SC.
