Hi CUB!
I'm the person that wrote the manual for the JERRY'S BIG BOY ARF and I've had access to a couple of them! I have just finished one of them and installed a Saito 100 on it. Plenty of power. Great for fun-flying and sport flying. You can fly this thing in the shower or any regular size phone booth! The manual is down-loadable from the Morris website in two sections. (wing, fuse) Give Robert a call and he can also send you one. The ARF was done in China and the quality is first rate. Don't let the four servo ailerons scare you. They are very effective right down to about 2-4 mph........... This bird makes a great second plane to get a little taildragger time or aerobatics on your ticket. I side-mounted the Saito 100. Not a lot of oily goop on the bottom of the plane this way. The tall stilty gear is great for those no-break-the-prop kind of landings. The quality and fit of the parts are well worth the price. The hardware is pretty good stuff. The tailwheel is medium duty but is very workable in my opinion. The firewall and gear mount is not going to get knocked out very easy. There seems to be a lumber yard up around this area so I think it will hold up to the most punishing landings. If you use a computer radio you can do all the taileron, flaperon, 3-D hoopty-doo you feel like doing. If you have a basic four chanel you won't feel like you were left out of all the fun. I'm eying a set of floats in the shop so I can take old BIG BOY to the lake. Gotta go for now.......... E-mail me if you need to know any more. Enjoy!
