Tommy,

Mine too - developed cracks in the cowl. Also, deadsticked today and ran into some taller grass which snagged the wheel pants and cracked one on the seam. While I'm reinforcing the cowl I'm going to do both wheel pants as well.

I think my tank was too far back or my idle too low. I think I need to set pretty high idle with this new 70 surpass II. I put in a glow ignitor last night and should have tried starting the engine. Got to the field today and the blooming thing didn't work. Had to use the glow stick. Not sure why. I had it hooked into the gear receiver slot as the slave to the throttle. I think I'll bite the bullet and just use a y harness off the throttle slot. I really want to get that thing working.

When you put weight in the tail where and how did you secure it?
