Thanks, I will cut all that extra weight off this weekend, I hope I can get that prop adaptor off now. I'll have to use a strap wrench. Hopefully my new carb will be in soon that I purchased from poco242(Scott), I am anxious to throw it in there. As for a plane, I still haven't decided on one. I thought about the GP Giant Big Stick as it would be a good match but it isn't the most attractive plane. I also thought of a Dynaflite Giant Super Decathalon but I am not sure if I have enough room in my apartment to build it nor would my better half want to give up the living room for months on end, he he... Also, I am not sure my building skills are good enough yet to build such a large/more conplicated plane as that one. I have only built one plane so far, Four Star 40. Maybe a Four Star 120 but I want something different. Do you see where I am at here, I just can't seem to decide. Help. uhhhhgggg... I would just like something simple as this would be my first "Giant Scale" plane and I just want to ease into it at first. Something simple/cheap that if the engine ended up not working out, it wouldn't be a big loss. Is there any such animal? Anyway, thanks, I will post more pix when I get the rest of the engine cut down.
