The "Cons" on the Patrick listed above are age old. Yep, DP under-advertised the all up weight of the plane. All the AFR mfgrs do. Same with engine size range. They all underestimate

Look at the specs and you'll know it's not a 120 size plane. It has a 78" wing and over 1200 square inches of wing area. It is NOT a 120 size plane. I fly mine on the BME 44 engine. Even with a 3lb gasser in the front, I STILL carry 4 oz of ballast in the nose. All up weight is 15.5 lbs using carbon fiber landing gear. The plane flies GREAT.

I have my setup, some info and some pics at http://www.devino.org/mark/airplanepics/dp330l.htm

Mine is an ARC that I covered and rigged. I only used the Patrick wheels and some of the control horn hardware.
