I also have a Bn 120. I rebuilt the rudder and elevator adding about 2!QUOT! behind the hinge line. WOW what a difference in control and response. It will now pitch up in a wall, flat spin upright and inverted. Let Me tell you it will High Angle Knife edge like no other plane I have flown. I am using a Saito 1.50 on mine and a Zinger Pro 16-6 prop. It will hover at 11 pounds all up weight and full of fuel. I will say that it does not have a great deal of pull out power, so I do not hover much. But given all of the other maneuver's that it does very well I dont miss hovering all that much. I think that, though the design is a bit dated, it is an excellent first big plane and one that inspires no fear at all. Floating on landing is something that does need to be dealt with, but slow idle and using flaperons to slow down on approach does help. I use flaperons and about 5 clicks above a slow idle as I approach. Just keeping a little throttle on with the flaperons. As I am just about at the end of the runway, I retract the flaperons, and cut the throttle to a slow idle. Then she settles right in for landing. Just be sure to retract the flaperons before reaching the end of the runway, or you will overshoot by a long shot. this plane likes to land at a walking pace. If I had it to do over, I would go 1.80 if I was to do more 3D with it, but there are plenty of other planes that are set up for 3D. The BN 120 is a great plane to introduce yourself to larger planes from a 40.

I would be somewhat careful when dealing with Morris these days. Though I have had mine for 2 years now, I hear increasingly bad things about Morris and their customer service these days. I think that they may be struggling a bit down there.
