37% Ultimates

Dang, I still dont get notifications, sorry guys. This prop pulls awesome, the engine revs good, snappy, not as loud as some others in my opinion, Ive used zinger, menz, 3w, and cant remember what other props so far. But I put these on all mine now. THeir 3D props are awesome too. Ken can give the specs on them.

Hey John- I have always loved Ultimates, I had one for my second plane when learning to fly years ago (seems like forever) just curious about something. Would a DA-85 fly this plane and if so do you think it could be balanced? Thanks and I am seriously considering one.

I am in the same boat. Some one needs to try it and give a report. I may just do it but I haven't decided yet. I figure worst case if it doesn't have enough power I can just put a pipe on it.

Hey sweetpea, sorry it took me a while to get you these photos. The 3W106 fits great. It is a little heavier than other engines in its class but I just made a mounting deck for the batts. in the fuse behind the canopy. That balanced it out about 1/8 inch forward of the rear cg location.

What is the AUW?

[JohnVH]

Oh, the DA85 will fly the plane, I have no doubts of that. Depending on your elevation and setups vertical from hover will be the difference. but Im sure it will hover regardless.

[dbcaster]

I will know soon enough. I should be flying in a couple of weeks with the 85. My runway is about 10' below sea level when the tide is high so elevation is ideal. I am just trying to decide between a Vess 26B or 27A. I will post my results as soon as I get it in the air.

Hey David, It is was cool seeing you at Tracy on Sunday. The Ultimate looked awesome in the air!

[dgiordano]

Sunday did turn out to be a great day, the weather was perfect. Good job with the Tam jet f-16 and congrats on getting the turbine waiver!!

[dgiordano]

I haven't weighed it yet but when I do I will let you know. I will say what ever it weighs, the 3W106CS pulls it with authority and with tons of power to spare.

[krayzc]

i woudl start off the 26B first that 27A is one serious piece of lumber.

[dbcaster]

Well I have seen reports of rpms from 6500 to 5800 with the 27A and a wrap around pitts so I am not sure what it will do. I may just try it and see what it pulls.
