SOLD: E-Flite Draco 2m Scale

With best intentions, I recently purchased this beautiful model from Mark Holman but unfortunately I did not anticipate the scale size of it when I collected from Mark last weekend (May 6). We had difficulty getting it into my car that has a wheelchair that takes up a lot of space along with my normal RC gear and toolbox that I take with me. I thought that would be manageable but once we arrived home it was too tall to fit on any of my shelves and leaving it on the floor would be too risky with an adult German Shepherd running around. It currently sits on my workbench. My wife Kerry has the unenviable task of loading and unloading the car when we go flying and I am asking too much of her to handle this large model and I have no suitable space in my workshop.

It is regrettable but I have no choice but to sell it. These are the details of the model –
