The attached pictures show my recently completed Model Tech Dragon Lady which now has about 50 flights. It is powered by a Saito 120 FS and I found that the prop that I like the best is an APC 15-8. My overall description of the flying and handling characteristics would be very much like a large GP Super Sportster. I should mention that the Saito 120 and this plane really go well together - it is not a 3D performer (neither is the pilot). This plane is an ARF, made by Model Tech and sold by Hobby People. The radio is a JR 9303, DSM2, JR 921 rcvr, all Hitec servos, and a 1100 mah NiCd battery from NoBS (Hangtime Hobbies).

I did a number of modifications that are worth considering so I will list them for you:

- used GP CA hinges instead of the CA hinges supplied
- used Dubro wheels
- replaced supplied wheel pants with pants from a GP RV-4 arf
- painted the supplied landing gear white
- removed aileron torque rods (one servo) , installed an aileron servo in each wing (two servos)
- replaced windscreen with a canopy from a GP Super Skybolt arf (my next build)
- replaced tail wheel with GP tail wheel assy
- moved rudder and elevator servo to the rear fuselage
- replaced engine mount with GP adjustable mount
- added Tru Turn spinner

I always use generous amounts of epoxy and triangle stock to reinforce the firewall on every arf I assemble. This plane is exceptionally well built - it even feels solid when you handle it. In my view it provides real value at a moderate cost. Two of the modifications are essential if you are going to use a 120 FS and that is to get rid of the aileron torque rods and the supplied wheel pants if you fly off of grass. If you have ever thought about building the no longer available Super Sportster 90/120 kit then you will really enjoy the Dragon Lady. The color scheme and the classic lines make it a real beauty.
