Hi all, haven't been on here for awhile, but still enjoy catching up with this world wide group of Falcon flyers! Gio, I went the small turbine, light weight airframe approach with mine, because I just feel that light models fly better. I use a small PST600 and the total weight is around 14lbs with all the mods done. My tank is a 3 litre juice bottle which gives about 14 minutes of flat out flying. I always think about landing after my timer goes off at 8 minutes, though. I think you need to watch your model weight, as you appear to be building it very strong (heavy?). It will go absolutely ballistic with a P120, though! One down side of useing a small engine is the model turns out nose heavy. I now have 1/2lb of lead bolted to the underneath of the engine mount. This is with everthing put as far back as possible.
