IMHO, you might as well forget the H9 Ultra 120 if you're looking to fly a weedie engine. There is a reason it is no longer in production. I was gonna get one back a year ago when H9 was clearancing them out, but when I saw the World Models Super Stunt 60, there was no comparison. THe SS60 is just as big, built lighter and better, has removable horizontal stab, and the wing breaks down into two panels with a balsa-filled aluminum tube spar. I have seen others' Ultra Stick 120 and the WM SS60 is built much much better. Best of all, it retails for only $199 and likely sell for less if your LHS discounts.
I did a lot of modifications to mine, and I initially powered it with a Magnum FS1.20. I still think it's underpowered, so it's currently waiting in line in my workshop for a bigger motor. You can get the specs here: http://www.theworldmodels.com/superstunts60.htm or here: http://www.airborne-models.com/html/sstunts60.html

Check out here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...0&pagenumber=2 for a list of mods I did to my WM Super Stunt 60.
The aluminum wing tube is 1" dia. and filled with balsa - this is the only AL wing tube I've had so far that is balsa-filled. It just exudes quality. I continue to be very impressed with WM quality overall.
I don't know what engine I will swap in yet. I was thinking about one of my Thunder Tiger Pro 1.20RP rear exhaust engines with a pipe. Then again, I have all these small weedie convesions piling up, it'll be a shame not to go with one of them. May be I'll go with one of my Kioritz 25.4cc on glow fuel. Choices, choices...
I think your RCS 1.40 would be perfect for it powerwise. You might have to be creative with weight distribution to get it to balance correctly, but it shouldn't be too difficult. IMHO, it's a toss-up between the Super Stunt 60 and the newer Fun World 3D. The FW3D may be better appointed, but nothing beats a plain old Stik for lovable simplicity..

Now we're talkin!!
I've seen your plane at spadworld.net Buckeyes, and might I say...I think it's the coolest of them all.
I'm having a hard time finding the 4 inch PVC though. Where exactly and how much did you pay for your fuse material??
I found some 4 inch at Lowes but it was SO THICK ...must have been like 3/16 thick...and HEAAAAVVVYYY!! Like 10 bux for 6 ft...Is that the stuff you used?
Then I found a 4 inch fence post at Home Depot that was a good thickness but it only came with a decorative cap and was $16 a post!!!
A guy could crank a plane like that out just as fast as any ARF on the market!!
Heck..I already have enough coroplast, and the spar 1x2 furring strips from Lowes...
Buckeyes...you get me pointed in the right direction on FUSELAGE material and I'll have that planes twin brother going in no time...I have 3 ryobi's sitting here waiting for a plane....
By the Way....How's it fly....????
What kind of RPM's you getting off your motor...
Thanks!!
