Anyone have knowledge of these? Looking at the 78 inch now that I may have a GT33 (late of my treasured Pepsi) The prop drive on the engine may be bent though.

You cant go wrong with any of the current Extreme Flight planes, so just go for the one you like the look of

Build it per the manual, C of G, control throws etc and you will have a great flying plane (Dont skimp on servo's the control surfaces are huge!! )

The OS33 will be a perfect match for any of the current 30 - 35 cc EF planes

It was not the the windsock but the ruddy base what finished it. David T says he will have a go although not promising. I have to remove the engine and check it first in case it was a trick of the eye
.
Anyway back to the subject in hand Slick 580?

Sorry to hear you bust the Chipmunk, but on the brightside you can now get a new replacement!

As Chris said, you wouldn't be disappointed with any of the EF range, best wooden airframes on the market in my opinion

Don't stress about a slight missalignment of your crankshaft - this can be easily rectified with a soft hammer and a dti (I have one, Kev.R probably has a better one).
I did my apprenticeship with Petters diesels and this is how we straightened cranks and camshafts on the production line.
