i installed a bit more radio stuff than the one I saw at Florida jets. I am using a PowerBox along with dual receivers and battery packs. After balancing it with lead in he nose I took out maybe an ounce but still have about 6 ounces up front in the nose piece. It takes the smallest amount of down elevator when inverted. The throws that are in the manual were just about perfect. The flap mix and crow were spot on. See you later this year

Only negative - it will not stall/snap - too forgiving. As such it just not as aggresive as a big Viper or Havoc.

How do you compare Dolphin with Swordfish? I have one 180N engine and I am considering these two. What are the good and bad of both models? I like precision aerobatics.

I have a Dolphin and Dolphin S. Both are great flyers. I have an der Rhino SP which has 40# thrust in the Dolphin. It us a perfect match. Great vertical and lands like a trainer. I have over 500 flights on the 2 jets combined. I dont think a 180 in the Swordfish would give the performance you want.
