Gentlemen,

I can not understand the complaints on here. I also read the article that Mr Pettit wrote and the next day I purchased one of these kits. Using the exact setup that they called for, control surfaces and engine I have a beautiful flying plane that I love. There is NO WAY that I could build a kit that looks that good and flies that great for twice the cost of this one. My kit is one of the updated ones that did not require me to rework the wing mounts, but if I had to, I still could not of had a kit flying in 3 times the amount of time it took to have this one in the air.

On the maiden flight the US 41 had more than enough power for the plane. True and straight? Well with only 2 right clicks of aileron trim I think the plane was straight and true.

After my personal results with the ARF I would not hesitate to buy another Great Planes ARF. As a matter of fact we were talking today about getting one of the GP Extra 300 ARF's.

And I'm not new to this sport or to building. I have built numerous kits including a Miles Reed 1/3 scale Weeks Special, a Miles Reed design 1/3 scale Extra 260 (2 in fact).

Come on guys, fly the planes with the engines suggested by the builder of the kit and enjoy them!!
