I'm glad they took back your motor and will exchange it. I'm surprised that a defective motor will perform the same as one that is OK. Oh well, plenty of GP planes use the same motor setup. That's a great power setup for any 40" span performance plane - lots of power!

I've got to get my bipe up and running once again. I broke a prop and it seems to have loosened the motor mount box. The trouble is that I used a good bead of RC-56 to hold my cowl down and now it's tough to get off. I've been busy with my other planes and haven't gotten 'round to fixing the bipe properly, so it's been hanging around the shop.
