This is the Retro scheme, it’s all white.

Send PM if you want it?

FWIW, they modded subsequent versions to ensure the canopy stays attached. May be worth modding the fuselage to accept the one with 4 tabs versus 2.

Let me know how much for shipping. 43528. I need a new canopy. Broke mine during the move to the new house.

A plethora of eye candy this weekend

Warmer weather is coming, I know some of you guys are out flying...

Loving laser time!!

The warmer weather hit us like a ton of bricks this past weekend, it would've been a crime to not fly.

Lokkie at what I got today. Woo Hoo!! Yes, I am joining you big dog's, at least in airframe size. When I was unpacking the inner box to slide it out of the outer box I thought "OMG, are these wings really this heavy?", of course not, it was the extremely high quality wing bags. While closely scrutinizing every piece during the unpacking it becomes apparent rather quickly that this is one extremely high quality product. I am looking forward to getting some assembly time in on it but it will be of the afternoon/ evenings after I am tired of working on the shop. So I'll wipe the drool of and get back to work.

If you think it looks good, wait until you get to fly it......

For now I can only imagine.
Was there suppose to be an assembly manual? I am sure I can manage without it though.

Can't remember, But their are some Youtube videos if you need some help.

I was curious about the size of the aileron opening, I noticed it while unpacking. I did, as you noted, went and watched the video. I guess I was used to surface mounted versus counter sunk, all is good.

Mine is ready to MAIDEN I will do so when I get back to NY state.
DA 120 .....3086 cans. I’ll leave the wheel pants off until I get the plane out of the house....(hanger rash) avoided. I added a wedge under the tail wheel to give the bottom of the rudder more clearance , I fly off of grass fields sometimes not mowed.

There is also a spec sheet on the website in .pdf form which lists all the kit contents and provides the suggested control deflections and I think, the suggested CG.

FWIW, I have never been successful at getting rid of the mid range transition with that setup and ditched my cans after three attempts (3086 cans) on two separate airframes. That was with the 2015 to 2018 version carburetor on the DA120. I now have my DA120s both with the latest "D2" carb (a mod done at DA) that is suppose to cure any transition problems. I've not tried the cans on it again. Just sharing info. Fantastic airframe.
Also, if planning 3D type flight, a single rudder servo in the tail push/pull worked very well.

Found it and downloaded it. It does list all those measurements. Thanks!
