Default Jet legend F18

I have the chance to acquire a JL F-18, not the super hornet. It's never been flown, just needs a turbine. This will be my first turbine. I'm lucky that in my club, I have some very experienced, Top Gun competeing jet pilots who won't let me get into any trouble with the jet. I know a lot of jet beginners get on here and talk about how much experience they have in other facets of the hobby. I'm in the same boat, been flying for many years. Mostly heavy gas warbirds, etc, etc. I won't try anything with the jet until my club instructors and myself feel 100% that I'm ready to go solo.

So so all that aside, what is the general consensus on the jet. It does have all high end JR servos, it has the metal elevator bearing block/elevator torque tube (not even sure if that's the correct phraseology). Is a 120 enough, or am I better off with a 140 size?

Please be gentle with me, lol. I am open to all opinions and I'm not taking anything about this lightly.
