I couldn't imagine putting a 120 in a Velox. It's very fast with a P80.
Microdat, please post how his flight was with the 120.......... If it holds together
I'm sure it will

I would imagine it would go as fast as the bobcat with p120's (225 mph +++++ ), and I've seen a few bobcats with p120s.

I put 8 more flights on the Velox, she flies really good but on the 6th flight my retracts did not come down and I had to belly land her. I tried to get her as slow as possible as to minimize damage to the bottom. However, I totally forgot about the cobra manuer and she cobra'd on me 5 feet off the ground! It started to nose up so I gave it down elevator and some throttle (P60 mind you) and I was able to softly pancake her into some grass. Damage wasn't bad, only a few stratches on my aileron arms and the bottom of the booms. After a 15 minute fix and a quick check over the entire plane to make sure nothing critical was broken I took her up again for 2 more flights.
