Default WTB: OOP BGs or Rocket Planes

Folks, over the past few months I've found pretty darn awesome Boost Gliders and/or Rocket Planes that have gone OOP. While I can continuously look for these items on e-bay, or wait for someone to offer them up - I'd like to take more proactive approach.

If you happen to have some of these hidden away, see them come available, or now of where to get my hands on some - I'd appreciate the heads up.

While I don't have an endless supply of funds, I'd like to see if I can build up my collection. Call it my specialty as of this point forward.

Thanks

Just an FYI

I know a HLG/DLG builder who will soon be coming out with a custom order boost glider based on HLG/DLGs and will have a 24mm motor mount with 20mm adapter (for those Quest D5-0Ps).
The glider will be available in 2-Channel or 4-Channel versions. I know that the manufacturer is trying to determine interest levels but is already finishing the prototypes. If there is interest out there please let me know and I will pass it along.

Oh,, There is definitely interest.
I could use my brand new "Futaba" that's been sitting on the shelf for a LONG time.

You've probably already seen the Semroc xKit of the Estes Astron Space Plane, but I want to call it to your attention just in case.

Also, the Semroc xKit of the Centuri SST Shuttle-1.

John, thanks for the leads at Semroc, but I already have those two models.

As for the HLG/DLG, I'd most definitely be interested!!! Please by all means forward me up to him.

I'll second the interest in the RC glider that you mentioned - definitely would be interested in learning more.

Thanks

Does drooling count as interest?
