Default RE: New CRRC Pro GP50R prototype 50cc

Yep.
1st issue with my 1st prototype was the engine case was made of too soft of aluminum and ater some run time the bearings started to get loose ( wearing the case ).
Second was two failed ignitions. ( I am running a RCexl ignition now ).
The new harder engine cases did not perform as well as the 1st prototype did. ( engine lost 200 - 300rpm ).
Now it seems to be running fine, I just need to put more time, time, time on it.
But since deer season is in, all my planes will not be used till around February. ( maybe one or two times on a nice weekend ).

Jody may have some more issues with his.
Maybe he will chime in.
