I can't believe nobody has a Dave Patrick Ultimate 120 sized that can give me control throws from their manual. Oh well I will find the info somewhere else. Thanks anyways!

Dude,
I have got one, but the manual is at home right now, and I am at work. If I remember I will get them for you and post tomorrow.

Also, what engine are you using? I have a Saito 1.80 bolted on, and am in the middle of assembly right now. I have heard it will balance on the nose-heavy side with the Saito, has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks RCJones I'm going to fly her tomorrow.

ShakeyJake, mine is fitted with a Moki 1.80 and yes it's a tad nose heavy.

I have got the Ready-to-cover version. I had heard that it typically comes out a little nose heavy, so I mounted dual elevator servos in the tail.

I was also able to easily double bevel the horizontal and vertical stabs.

Other than that, pretty much stock. I should be covering by the end of this weekend!

I just did the arc and it was tail heavy with a Saito 150. I put 4oz in the cowl and am slowly taking them out. It may not be really that tail heavy but it seemed that way to me. Better safe than sorry I figured. Hate to go up with a tailheavy bird.
