Default RE: Great Planes Extra 300 GP/EP

Thanks, I went and got a pair at the local bolt shop that work perfect. Used some rubber bushing too.

I picked up this plane from a guy in my club who had done some type of trading and ended up with it. It had an OS 61 in it with bad bearings. He swapped it out with a .46 ax with a pitts. It has afew rough spots on it and its had the landing gear repaired after being pulled out of the fuse. I got it for 160 bucks. Its got 130 worth of Hitec 645s in it, so I couldn't go wrong.

I took the blue plastic spinner off of it and put on a great planes aluminum piece with a Xoar prop. It didnt have any wheel pants so I got those too. Over 30 buck for the wheel pants and they didnt even come with stinkin bolts. What a jip! I had some that fit though.

It looks real nice now with just those little changes. Now Im just waiting on the Rx to arrive so I can get that in, and Im gonna get a new battery because the nihm that was in it had the wires reconnected so I didnt really trust it.
