Restoring a GP Patty Wagstaff's Extra 300S
It is been some time that I've been looking for a "small" 50cc scale model but because the way the economy is and the family needs I didn't want to buy new and because you never know what you get when you buy used that you cannot see I decided to wait until someone locally would have one for sale and that happen a couple of weeks ago... 
I found online a local gentleman named Greg that had a used Great Planes Patty Wagstaff Extra 300s for sale at a fair price. After contacting him and after a couple of e-mail's we decided on the price and I got a surprise from him... he had another Patty model for sale from World Models that he would sell as a combo at a great price. We met, I took a overlook at the models and we had a deal... The model with the black carbon landing gear on the picture is the World Models one...
I decided to start working on the Great Planes first. This model came with 1 JR DS-811 (throttle), 4 HiTec HS-625MG (rudder and Elevator), 2 MAXX MS-870MG (Ailerons), Switch and one Volt Watch. As a modeler I like to build and therefore I decided to do my "changes/improvements" before I even think about getting the needed motor and get it up in the air.
Please bear with me with this restoring and I'm open to suggestions on motor, batteries and building ideas. At the moment I'm thinking about the DL-50cc as a motor and that's it so far...
I already got some detail pictures that I'll post later.
Thanks for looking...
