I just got this Balsa USA kit ...Thunderbug 120. Who has built or flown this airplane? What engine, should I build it w/ tricycle gear or turn it into a taildragger? I like its old classic looks. Please give me your views and comments. Gene

I haven't flown the 120 size yet. But I've flown 3 40 size thunderbugs and 2 scratch built 60s size birds. These are amazing aircraft. They can do just about anything that you want them to. IMHO they look better and land better as trikes than they do as taildraggers. Sorry, can't help you on the engine dilemma.
