It clearly states "anything of value". I had considered trading farmers for foods they sell at the local farmers…"

Thanks,

SOME radiios have three positions, some have two. Generally, two is enough. Landing gear up and landing gear down. I did some custom mixing across channels 5 and 6 to get 3 positions…"

Knuckles904 replied to Tim McMahan's discussion Looking for FMA copilot brain"Ive got one that Ill probably never use again. Had it for an eco 8 mechanical mixing heli. Bought it for 50, if you just want the brains, I could sell them for 25."
