@acerc have you looked at the pilot 60cc pits looks exactly the same as 120 size. What do think I know it is just a bunch of pictures. Seems he is doing a lot of development work but 120 has not even arrived in the USA

Both of them are really good looking for an ARF, far from scale though. And for what it is worth Pilot did not do all their own research, they enlisted Skip Model designs and were not to build anything that would compete with him of which the 120 size does. Skip has been making the Pitts kits for quite sometime as well as the Bulldog versions but all 120cc and up.

The day started out not really feeling like doing anything. Needless to say have not started the paint stuff and the fact I won't be here most of tomorrow did not help. About noon I had had enough of not doing anything so I went to the shop. The ele and rudder are hooked up and functional. Started making the hardware for the tail wire's but did not have enough metal straps, started working on the tailwheel but need more wheel collars, then started on the wing servos and found I did not cover the hatch they are mounted on. I placed an order with Graves and should receive everything tomorrow. Well the iron should be hot so I can cover the wing hatches. Later..

Really do you realize how fortunate you are living in the USA. If I do not have something and I need to order it is minimum 3 weeks. I am just jealous.
