Thanks, Actually I sprayed the inside of the canopy with flat black Testors model paint and then masked the outside and sprayed the edges with gloss white. Looked way too plain with the clear canopy and all of that white cockpit showing. Just did an all-up weight and it comes in at 13lbs 10 ounces. The 160 puts out a lot more thrust then that with the 18x6W on it so it should do anything I like within the parameters of its design. I originally bought a BCMA 40cc gasser for this plane but decided to put in my Great Planes 27% CAP 232 and the 160 in this. I think I'll get a lot more use out of the 40 in the CAP. If you like the GFI45 you should check out BCMA.
http://www.bcmaengines.com/ I bought a 40 and a 26 from Adam and they are great engines at a great price. Adam will give you outstanding service also. He custom made the stand-offs to match my firewall to thrust washer distance for free AND I got a free Jersey fuel tank for buying two engines. Glad you got your glitching problem solved.
