Thank you so much for your response--yes I ordered my brackets today. Please let me see if I can address the issue of overpowering the plane. I fully agree that if a plane snaps a wing doing snaps at full throttle with a ZDZ 80, you should laugh at the request. Most of the instances I have read about have been stright and level flight. But that is not my point. My point is this--The GP Pitts gets most of my flying time--barely being edged out by my PW Extra--I LOVE THEM BOTH. Every issue with the Pitts has been the top wing attachment and the method used--from missing the spar with the screws to the L bracket breaking. There have been many other large bipes with bigger engines doing wild manuvers without this happening. This plane holds together in some very serious Gs--without a problem. Then a silly bracket breaks in 1/2 throttle level flight--and we blame it on the oversize engine? I cannot tell you how much I love this plane! In my 12 years of modeling, it has to be one of the top 3 of the dozens I have owned. Your staff did a superb job-and the construction is first rate. It just seems to be this one design flaw with the top wing. I just want to keep it around for a long, long, long time.



PS--I am anxiously awaiting the new 70" w/s Ultimate ARF you will be producing soon--based around a 3.2 gas engine (hint-hint )
