Jerry, I can only agree with your tailwheel statment.. I used the stock tailwheel, and it bent to meet the bottom of the rudder after the first landing. And that's where is stayed!!

Other than that, it sounds like you're holding a *****en plane accountable for a fleet of miserable old engines!!!! Go to towerhobbies, order a new TT pro 46 for $80, and couple of APC 12x4 props.. Until that Arrives, spend some time with your wife and kids!!

Top Cap ARF, TT 46 Pro and an APC 12X4 prop!!
