    Not sure what it is worth but you can sell it on RCGroups.com I would think.

    I am pretty sure it is glow engine and runs on 30 percent nitro 17% lube like helis. Gas engines are way to big and not enough power for ducted fans.

    Only problem is the glow ducted fan jets have pretty much been replaced with gas generator (turbines) or electric power. Ask on RCGroups.com and see what the general conssnsuus is.

    The body might be useful if the glow motor could be stripped out of it and replaced with a high-powered electric system.
