For Sale / Hangar 9 1/4 scale piper J3
« Last post by Fred on Today at 14:11:03 »
Howdy,

Selling my H9 piper cub, 1/4 scale.

Come with all servos etc, just add engine. Was used with an OS BGX.  2.6m if I recall.

But! In need of TLC on the covering really. Fuselage covering is alright, but like an idiot, poked 2 holes in the wings during transport 😢

200€

Photo with the guy is from the brochure! 👍

Yes, it appeared in the farming supplement to Tuesdays Independent. Not that I read the Indo (or any newspaper) regularly, I'm too busy building/fixing model airplanes.

If I read the article correctly, the application was rejected by Carlow County Council, then was appealed to an Bord Planeala, then there was a judicial review and now its back with an Bord Planeala.

Seems it never went away, just below our radar for a while.

Seems it never went away...

Its a two page spread: "Battle lines drawn as locals and gliders take on Carlow wind farm"

There is a photo of some of us in the article and some of the paraglider guys.
