There are tons of mechanical and electrical or fuel problems posted on this board. But most of the time no one posts an update on how they - got it apart, stopped it from popping out of gear, fixed the jetting and so on and so on. Or what they found but it wasn't worth fixing.

A follow up would really help allot of people with a similar problem. We have all at one time or another experienced the same problem. There aren't too many "stumpers" on this forum unless there isn't enough information given.

Sometimes old posts get brought back from the dead, many of them are still in here somewhere.

I love this forum and I've been here since the original forum (wish I knew what my user name was way back when...) I love it for the people, the ATC's, the riding etc, but I enjoy even more when I can help someone else out from my own mistakes and experiences.

Don't be afraid to bring back your original topic and post what you actually had to do to finally fix your problem, it'll help allot of guys out :beer

I vow to follow up!

I am a work in progress though.

I do build threads with my other hobby, R/C planes. I usually include video at the end.

Here is a sample thread:

This waym should anyone ever buy that plane, they can reference the thread, and hopefully learn from it.

Allright! Another plane builder! I've built a couple, my latest being the Extra 300S. I can get them to fly, the only problem I have is making them land:wondering Haven't messed with them in a couple of years though...

Oh yeah, I'll try to do a better job of follow ups too, hate not finding out if things ended up wirking or not

One word for you....simulators !

They work!

I don't think I have ever crashed due to pilot error (well maybe once), after my first plane and a simulator, and I have over 1,000 flights.

I have crashed due to builder error (me), oh well, let me not hijack.

Follow up! YEA!

I do. Now everyone knows you have that you have to grind on a PRM skidplate to make it clear the shock linkage when using a Westcoast swingarm on a liquid-cooled R. Wow, that's a long sentence.:lol:
