Default RE: Great Planes 1/4 scale Gene Soucy Extra 300S Review Now posted

Thanks again for the input gives a little hope for not wasting my time preparing a brick for flight. Gman you are already familiar with this plane as I purchased it from a member here on RCU that had been talking to you and others earlier in this post. Gapple12 On page 40 and following. Had the SPE 40 installed when I bought it and performed well but after a dozen or so flights encountered the dreaded crank shaft shear that led to a dead stick on my own landing strip which I had been off of 3 times. Not having the feel for the approach lines fully under my belt came in a little hot on the only shot I was going to get and touched a wing tip on the unfinished embankment which has led to this repair and the only other power plant I had available was my trusty g62.So thanks again for all your information as I can now rest a little easier with the forsight you have provided.
