I've had 3, and ditto on needing down elevator. All three had crow after a few familiarization flights, and all three needed different down elevator.

Enjoy your Falcon!

Top end speeds are all some people (like the press) want to hear ... so difficult for accurate numbers. I can say with certainty that my Mk I version (upgraded with fully sheeted wings and glassed)...

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

That is the way I did mine. Keeping the glue, epoxy and paint light you can come in at about 16.5 pounds dry.
Go for it, and good luck!

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

I used older Hitec 605 analogs on flap and ailerons, and a 5245 on elevator. Rudder has Hitec 225's.

RE: Bob Cat Copy Falcon 120 Jet

Your local hobby shop either has, or can get Robart 560's with Robostruts (what I am using).
...or...if you want trailing links, Todd (at Dreamworks) has a set for it.

Good luck.
