Just gonna throw my 2 cents in here. A friend of mine has a flash with a P-120sx in it. I smoked his ***** with my P-70 powered Barf. Another friend had a P-120 powered Kingcat. Passed him like he was standing still. The barf with the merlin 90 will be awesome! Terry Nitch has one with a Jet Central Rabbit (about same engine no?) and he loves it. By the way the first guy has TWO flashes with P-120sx's. I built the barf for him and while he was drooling over the Barf not ready to fly it yet he had another flash built. (Prettier than the first one for sure) And I kept telling him Whenever you fly that Bandit your gonna wish you had another Bandit not another flash. I think he'd tell you there both good but all he fly's now is the Barf. I have also flown both but you would probably expect me to tell you the bandit is better. But it is. IMHO of course. Ok I'm done. Oh yeah Straight fin Training wheels if you must. (Trailing links) Build it as the manual states and If you have any questions or need help don't hesitate to call me. Or pm me and I'll give you my number. Oh yeah by the way,,, My barf is flying 194 straight and level checked by two different Stalker radar guns on repeated passes. Just didn't want anyone to think we were doing anything dangerous. All the above contests were in a racetrack pattern.

Tim I had a P-70 on my BARF and it sucked *****. I was lucky to go past 160 mph, excpet on dives. Took 2 flights before I put my P-80 back in it.
You mut have had one fo the few P-70s out there. I did not.
