What to do with this 4 star 120??
 

I love scale aircraft and I have never been the guy to show up with something like this, but I could not pass up the deal. I know alot of folks have modified this airplane into other types. Should I recover it like the cropduster,etc. or just go and have fun with it? The guy spents loads of money on this thing, it has Duralite batteries, 2 smart switches, fancy tailwheel and some home made mac daddy wheels. Show what you have done to yours................

Those wheels are really nice!! I havent ever seen anything like them.

RE: What to do with this 4 star 120??
 

The guy has access to a CNC machine and makes all kinds of neat things. I am going to remove them actually b/c the rubber is really hard and they make alot of noise landing. I think I will throw some blue monocote on it tonight in the cropduster scheme and just fly it and have some fun. PM me if you would like the wheels. Not sure what they are worth

I would fly it like it is. It should be an excellent flying model.

should be fun, its always nice to have a plane like that, one that is stress free ,if something should happen

Go back to him and see if he can make spinners for the wheels. Then you'd be blingin. :)

I'm just curious why the previous owner installed the 2 switches on the exhaust side. Tradition dictates they go on the "clean" side of the fuselage.

lear if you get bored with it sell it to me a little west of you thanks frank

I don't know factually if this is the answer to the question about having two switches on the exhaust side, but my guess is that since the engine is a spark/gasoline engine, the owner wasn't expecting much in the way of exhaust residue leaking from the engine area and blowing over the model in that area.

Myself, I would still have installed the switches on the other side, but the way this is, it's not as bad as it looks.

I agree, there are two charging jacks on the other side.

RE: What to do with this 4 star 120??
 

Your right, the last time I left it at the field for a few minutes, I came back and it was sitting on blocks. Spinners, curb feelers and wheel locks would be great

RE: What to do with this 4 star 120??
 

Actually, the switches are on the clean side, those are the charging jacks with the built in covers. The switches are the "smart" switches that are $60 a piece, I am glad they are on the clean side........

Here's what I bashed my 120 into. It's an AirTractor 802F Fire Boss Slurry Bomber. I've since changed out the tail wheel for a more scale one and added a few more cockpit details and harness's to keep the pilot in :)
