Here's a List of What We Used to Finish Our Dragon Lady 60 ARF:
This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your
new Modeltech Dragon Lady 60 ARF. These suggestions are not set in stone, but they should provide you with a good
starting point.
SECTION 1: OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
What Engine Should I Use?
The Dragon Lady 60 will accept a wide variety of engines, so which engine you choose really depends on how you want to
fly the airplane. For general sport flying, a .61 two stroke or .91 four stroke would be an ideal choice. Either of these
engines will provide good overall performance and will pull the airplane through most aerobatic maneuvers with ease. Both
engines can be mounted sideways for starting convenience, but the .61 will require the use of an aftermarket Pitt's Style
muffler because the stock muffler is too long. If you use a .91 four stroke you can use the engine's stock muffler.
For all-out aerobatics a .91 - 1.08 two stroke or a 1.20 four stroke would be a great choice. Either of these engines will
provide an excellent power-to-weight ratio, resulting in nearly unlimited vertical performance. Both engines can be mounted
sideways for starting convenience, but the .91 and 1.08 will require the use of an aftermarket Pitt's Style muffler. If you use
a 1.20 four stroke you can use the engine's stock muffler. Because these engines are heavier and will make the Dragon
Lady nose heavy in its standard configuration, we have provided you the option of mounting the elevator and rudder servos
in the back of the fuselage to counteract the extra nose weight.
What Servos Should I Use?
There really is no reason to go overboard on high-priced, ultra-precision servos. A good, standard, dual ball bearing servo
with a minimum of 40 ounces of torque will work well on the flight-control surfaces and a standard bushing servo will be
good for use on the throttle.
What Else Do I Need?
The Dragon Lady 60 includes most of the hardware you'll need to finish the airplane. You will need a 2-3/4" spinner, some
basic building materials, such as adhesives, protective foam rubber for your radio gear, and fuel tubing. If you're using a
larger, heavier engine and decide to install your elevator and rudder servos in the back of the fuselage, you will also need
two 24" servo extensions so the servo leads can reach the receiver. We've provided a list below of the items we used on
the airplane shown in this instruction manual.

Includes 5/16 - 24 shaft adapter.
If you plan on using a 1.20 four stroke engine, we
strongly suggest replacing the stock engine
mounting beams with a stronger aluminum
engine mount. The Magnum Adjustable Aluminum
Engine Mount (part # 279950) would be a
good choice.
