Update. I got the engine and radio system working fine and went to fly the plane today and on Saturday. It's as if it lacks power or something and just won't climb. Flying brick is the best way to describe it. I think I should just salvage the engine and my radio system and move on. I tried at least. Good news is that the park flyer Cessna I purchased as part of the three plane deal flies fine. Anyone need an Aircore carcass for free?
