Thanks Sonny..

It didn't take all that long .. about an hour.. with a couple ciggy breaks in between.

The problem with this split gear is that it puts too much force on the skimpy plywood rail the the blind nuts go into. The same thing happened on my 27% GP Cap232 and on my GP Giant Ucando.. One would think that Great Planes would give in and just admit it's the worst design and go back to the drawing board. Nobody has perfect touchdowns every time.

Ok .. Thoughts on powing this bird:

the .76 GMS is too small.. I'm returning it.

I do have a new .90 2s super Tiger that I just bought last week for a Mustang.. I think that may be a contender.. The larger 1.20 2s have a few more ponies ,but turn at a lower rpm. Ohhhh.. did I mention .. I want fast!!! No sunday flier please.

I looked at the Dub Jetts but don't think I want to part with 400.00 usd.. My buddy just put one in his Sundowner clone .. Sounded good .. even though he needed ear headmuffs (no lie).

Okk.. later .. I'll post more pics as I advance thru the build.
