Default balsa nova 120 info

The designer and I belong to the same rc club and I talked with him about doing the short or long wing version. The long version offers more precision type rolling ability and qualifies for IMAA events, the short gives better transportation and a little more snap but almost no difference. I have not gotten started on the 3D mods as it is still in the box, got some ideas and lowering the turtledeck was not one of them but maybe I should consider it. I was going to enlarge control surfaces and rebuild some stuff to make it lighter. Other than that I will figure the rest out as I go and then flight test it. If it works I will post my mods. But I will say I have never met anybody that did not like the way it or its little brother flew. I am planning the OS160FX. Best of luck and happy contrails. Jeff W.
