"I would like that everyone here support one to others, attitudes like the desertpig do not acomplish the objetives of the forum. I respect his option about the way of doing R/C, and appreciate his rought advice, but some of us enjoy bolting , timing and reassambling engines as well as flying and post here looking for some support instead of discouraging.

Sorry guys!!
Point taken.. not trying to bash! There are those of us who can do what you describe ( I have done more to auto, motorcycle and (full scale) airplane engines than most anyone I know anyway. .. its just I get discouraged when I read about people losing their planes and struggling to make a weedie work when there are good solutions out there that in the end cost less in time and money.

If in fact, you like a little drama and the challenge - I can appreciate that! there certainly is nothing wrong with your thinking.. Personally, I build all my planes - even the few ARFs I have had I strip the covering off , rework the airframes and make them "mine".. but when I go through all that, you can be sure I am putting something up front that wont' dead stick or run crappy. I used to work on weedies.. for the time I had to put in to make them run the way I want them too - it was too much time.

I have seen more weedies run bad than ones that run good. My hat's off to you for doing the work. I have done some in the past, but now I choose to spend more time building / flying than tinkering. Nothing wrong with tinkering either! That's why they call this a hobby!!

Keep 'em flying - no matter what's up front!!
