FOR SALE: RAKET carting engine, New In Box

I dug up another engine, brand new, that I will never use.  So you are welcome to buy it on eBay!

It is a RAKET carting engine, imported from Europe somewhere.

It is setup for a propeller, and includes a redrive.  I believe this engine develops 13 HP, so it would be awesome for a nice cart or for a very, very, very light ultralight airplane.

I have never started it, and it is offered on eBay without reserve.

Sure looks like a nice little engine... too small of an engine for a Belite, that's for sure.

1)  Offered NEW IN BOX, "As Is", believed to be in excellent condition, but without warranty.
2)  Price includes packing in the original cardboard box, but DOES NOT INCLUDE shipping expense.  Check with Kathy for UPS quotation to your location.  Check early!!!! in the bidding process.
3)  NO RESERVE.  :-)

FOR SALE: Many, Many, Propellers for Sale, starting with 60X36

The spring sale continues at Belite....  I went through my propeller collection and culled out all of the props I won't be needing.  This is quite an amazing collection of propellers.  They are all in good to excellent condition, some are even brand new.

1.  60x36 left rotation as viewed from pilot (VW rotation, for instance)
2.  60x42 left rotation as viewed from pilot
3.  60x40 right rotation as viewed from pilot (F23 rotation with redrive and most redrives, for instance)
4.  60x27 right rotation as viewed from pilot
5.  58x24 right rotation as viewed from pilot
6.  58" ground adjustable wooden propeller with aluminum spinner

8.  42" ground adjustable, composite, Powerfin, two blade, right rotation
9.  70" ground adjustable, composite, Powerfin, three blade, left rotation

As each one is unique, I have decided to list them all at the same time, so this is an excellent time for you to buy that propeller for your project.  There won't be any more propellers in our spring cleaning ebay listings, so this is fair warning.

Many of these propellers will be listed on eBay over the next 48 hours.

Here's our eBay terms & conditions for the propellers:

1)  There is no warranty or statement of fitness for any application for this propeller.  It is AS IS.  I have provided as many photos as possible to show the condition of the item.

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.
