    Re: Yup, Don't need the carb now...

    In some ways I don't mind that it went in, that plane was a POS right out of the box. It never did fly right, did so many things to get it to fly right like change the thrust, worked on the incidence etc but still could not get it trimmed for all speeds. And the motor, another POS, Fought with it a lot. You guys know the story, when Joe T. helped me to get it to run the first time. It ran great for many flights after that but started screwing up again. I did so many "repairs and replacements" to it to have it run great on the ground for three tanks. I get it in the air and deadstick again. I got better landing that thing with the motor dead than I could with it running!! I think the motor is okay but the carb is trash.

    Now to find a cheap replacement 30cc plane.
