I sent them an email but not expecting anything as I checked my past account with them and I purchased this back in December. I explained the situation to them and found an engine I can exchange with but its only a .28, bit smaller than the .32 I have but all they had in stock for close to same size. It is a Magnum XS28. Are Magnums any good?
No way to solder some kind of fix on it, huh?

Send it back to Tower, pay the difference and get an OS.
YNOT has a point. I am guessing you got the GMS 32 due to cost vs. ADVERTISED performance. A GMS is harder to break in and tune than a good ole OS .25 and as a beginner you need stick time in the air; not a bunch of frustration on the ground. Get an OS .25 LA. It will fly your plane just fine and be far more reliable in the air. Your second plane will not likely be a .25 size plane so your .32 won't be any more transferable than the .25 unless you are going for combat planes. I know what your thinking, "I already paid for this one and I don't want to waste what I have in it." I know because I have been there and ignored the advice and ended up spending more money in the long run for it. What ever you decide... Best of luck, have fun with it and don't quit.
