Hi Gordon,

Sorry to hear you're having continuing problems with your Webra 
motor, I know first hand how frustrating it can be trying to diagnose 
powerplant issues.  And if the motor is defective, the only solution 
is to send it back, or repair it yourself (which can be  inconvenient 
and/or expensive).

I've been fortunate in that I've had very few problems with the 
Webra's I've had (and I've pushed mine harder than anybody).  I'm not 
saying the Webra motors are perfect, but set up properly they can 
work extremely well.

And to be honest, one can make the same negative comments about ANY 
of the motors in use today (even the electrics).  YS, OS, Webra, 3M, 
Hacker - they all have their quirks, good points, and bad points.

Is there someone in your area who has a similar setup that can help 
you resolve this?  If not, I'd be happy to take a look at your motor 
(even fly it in my E=MC3 if needed) to see if I can help sort it out.

Thx, Jerry

(BTW - I don't get paid to do this.  I'm sponsored only by my wife 
and our two dogs)
