RE: Pinnacle Suggestions
Hey, Your in the wrong forum<G>....but I happened to see it anyway.
I have been flying a Pinnacle E this season in intermediate and I love it. Look carefully at the gear mounting plate. I and at least one other person I know have had "issues" with the gear plate breaking -especially flying off grass fields. I don't know about the liquid fuel version, but the E version has a lite ply plate with a thin piece of carbon laminated on the underside. As I tightened the gear, the upper layer of lite ply crushed and when the gear was stressed on a grass field, the ply delaminated with neat holes punched around the washers through the upper surface. It has been fine since I reinforced it with a plate of 1/8 inch regular plywood.
Good luck!
