Sorry bub, my maiden voyage was flawless. My throws were:
Elev. 3/4
Ailr. 1/2
Rud. 2

With my current c.g. right at the center of the range, I felt I needed more elevator. I now have it set at 1 inch. Eventually, I think my c.g. will be at the aft most position or slightly behind. I like clean snaps and no pull-out on vertical down lines.

The Saito 120 was amazing. I can't imagine what a 180 would be like (visions of failed wings). The 120 is one sweet engine. Very easy to tune and run (10% CoolPower, stock plug, APC 15-7).

I think for 90% of aerobatic flying, the Saito 100 would be a better choice. It's just so much lighter. Handling in every flight mode except straight up would be better. If you hot-dog and 3D a lot, you'll want the 120.
