You're right, Brad, however, I had no idea that the thing needed the 18 ounces of nose weight until after it was assembled, with the OS 1.20 AX that I bought specifically for that plane because that was the recommended engine for that plane.

And, you're right again... there are exceptions. It flys just fine, but is a tad bit heavier than I thought it would be.. 18 ounces in fact!

There was another problem with this ARF.. the covering kept coming off. Lousy job by Goldberg, or whomever did the ARF part of that model. I was flying it one day, it was up about, oh 100 feet or so, going from left to right, when I heard this loud POP sound and saw a streamer behind the plane. I had no idea at first what it was, but knew I had to get it down... so I cut power, wanting to slow it down, and did a dead-stick landing. It flew fine, by the way. When I got it on the ground, I saw that ALL the covering on the top of the right wing was off and streaming behind the plane.

Just another problem with the Tiger 120, I guess. Lousy workmanship on the part of Goldberg.
