The 120 ARF is a very nicely done plane. Most of the assembly work is good and the wood used seems to be of good quality. I did notice a couple of funny things on 120 ARF. First the aileron servos seem to be mounted 90° form what I consider standard. Servo bodies have a long and a short axis. All of the planes I have built have the servo arm perpendicular to the long axis. This plane has it perpendicular the short axis losing a lot of mechanical strength. The other thing is the tail wheel. They go out of their way to provide great hardware with the is plane and then give you a tail wheel I wouldn't put on a 15 size trainer. Oh ya the instructions aren't very good. But if you have build a couple of ARFs it should not be much of a problem.

Small cmplaints on an otherwise really nice ARF.
