ORIGINAL: jzrf6c

I've had their 330S for a couple of years. As I recall the instructions where some what lacking. I also canned the fuel tank and went with my own. The wheel axels also needed to be replace. I find the short landing gear to be a problem on my landins since I'm a little older. But, Minor fupa's were easily patched and the plane still flies great. I have the O.S. 75 in mine. Oh yes, one more thought, I lost the canopy bolts right off. It's not a good idea to have steel on steel. The vibrations cause them to come loose.

I was thinking of upgrading to the Great Planes Adjustable Engine Mount .60-1.20 but it&rsquo;s double the weight vs. the factory mount. I read in some other review where they mentioned that the factory mount flexed a bit.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">Mount:</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt"><font color="#800080">http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&amp;I=LXJ773&amp;P=ML</font> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-size: 10pt">Thanks.</span></div>
