Getting one of these..is an OS 1.20 Surpass II too much for it? I'm thinking it'll stick out of the cowel pretty bad... but would love your opinions....

Thanks,

Vo-

The 120 seems like way more power than you need and a lot more weight than you want. I am finishing a GP .60 Cub. It was my first kit to build and went together real well. I am installing a Saito .91. Do you already have the 120? If so, I would go to a slightly larger kit, like a Sig 1/4 scale. If not, I would get either the OS or Saito .91. There is no real reason to overpower a Cub.

Thanks for the replies.. I do have the 1.20 and a .91 OS Surpasses... I was going to put the .91 in my Adrian Page GeeBee R2.. but maybe I'll have to put my Fox Eagle .74 in there instead and find something else for the 1.20


Thanks again!
