    I remember my RCGF21cc being a lemon.... They did also say 20min ground break in period. I also read somewhere the the early models of the 10cc cylinders piston ring caught a little on the exhaust port. I did not look for this on mine. But my cylinder wall had casting pits in it and my ring...

    Good try, but it's invaluable to me. It started it's life as a 36" piece. Very handy to have a balsa tree truck around. SIG Mfg looks like has a good price for a 3"x3"x36" balsa block for $22.87, I've had my block for years... I originally purchased it to make some droop tips for a 1:5 SuperCub...
