RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.
GRUMP010- Well at this point in time I no longer have an interest in purchasing this plane. Too much bad press, same thing goes for a certain type of serovs I will no longer buy as well. It just pisses me off when a manufacturer states a claim, then makes some running changes to save costs, but yet does not state the running changes and how it affects the kit. I feel sorry for jsilvers having to go all the way to a 91 four stroke in hopes to get this brick to fly. This is a FOURTY sized airplane, it should need nothing more than an appropriately sized engine, even though the specs say you can use up to a 90 four stroke, in my opinion that is huge overkill. This plane should fly very nicely on a 70 four stroke, although as you say it did not fly worth a pinch of porcupine poop. I will email you offline and maybe we can hook up and swap stories.
