a 90 sized plane such as the Infinity, or the excelleron arf. if you want to build, look towards ca models, they have some great kits.

Good luck,

Chuck

remember, the power to weight ratio of the 120 surpass even pumped is not that great so build or think LIGHT!!

Take a look at he Venus II. Very solid model, perfect for the OS 1.20

I agree with NJrcflyer2 I would look at the venus 2 don't know for sure if a 120 would work on it, but I have a venus 40 and it is a wonderfull flying airpland,and looks is outstanding. Take a look Towerhobbies has them!

The Venus is excellent.

I also have the following that we used as "Beginnner" Pattern planes and both were pretty good for an introduction to Pattern. I still fly them regularly as practice planes.

A CMPro Swallow with a Saito 1.25 (Flew OK with the 1.20 as well).
A World Models "Groovy" which flies OK with a Saito 1.20

I notice you are in Russia, so it will very much depend on what is available.

The Showtime is a good choice too. I've got one, I like it. The Venus II seems to lock better and presents a bit better too. Basically I think it is easier to see what it's doing than the Showtime, but that could just be me.

The Venus is almost identical to the Excelleron, great plane. Still, you are down on power to weight of the 4 stroke. if you could afford a 1.20 ax, you would be heading in the right direction.
