Hey Hosam
I guess I was too humble or tried to hard to be funny when I said "kinda". The Extra I had when I was a beginner was 6 years ago.
Since going solo I have sucessfully built and flown such planes as the DPM ultimate, several .60-1.20 Extras, the Hanger 9 Corsair and Mustang, 2 .90 Super Chipmunks, 1.20 Laser 200 and have sheparded 2 beginners through soloing. It's just the going gas that is new.
I have seen several of the 1.60 size Extras both World Models and GP fly and land and none of them exibited the bouncing I spoke of in my first post. I am at a loss for what caused this on my previous model. The G-45 doesn't seem far off from others I have seen. One guy at our field had a G-62 on his and it was the smaller GP Extra. I don't really fly 3-d. I prefer a more scale flying that emulates The full scale version of my models. If Patty Wagstaff ever touches her rudder to the tarmac in a hover I'll try it. Smoke on tumbles and perfectly axial rolls are what do it for me.
Anyway, any setup tips especially on the wheels and gear as well as the electronics(i.e. battery size and type, switches, 1 or 2 reciever, power expander etc.) would be very helpful

Thanks and happy flying,
Rod
