Flying the 120 is superb, all manoeuvres can be done at VERY low speed. The motor more than capable of sustained forward flight at very low rpms. A 16oz tank will last approx 15mins. Prop hanging achieved at 30% stick travel!! The 120fz or 140 fz would be more than enough (:0)

New canopy added. 21\10\02. A little longer and better the tint helps also I think. Should be a Carbon copy option soon.

See guys. I do listen once in a while *(:0)
