Looks interesting.
A little double checking the glue joints and it could be a decent plane.

Only one way to find out.

Yes they do, $730.00 + extra $$$'s for the decals set which isn't included in a $700. + plane
But now we are double the $$ of the 1st one posted, Not that this couldn't be double the plane and worth every $$.
If someone is looking for an economy 50cc bipe, you probally can't go wrong with the first two.

Aero Works Pitts:
SPECIFICATIONS

Top Wing span 70 inches.
Bottom Wing Span 68 inches
Wing Area 1725 sq. in.
Fuselage Length 68.5" (Rudder to front of cowling)
Fuselage length 72" ( Rudder to front of spinner)
Weight 17 to 18 lbs
Engine 50cc Gas
Radio 8 Channels minimum

By far, the GP ultimate is the winner! I finished mine out at 14.5 pounds with a DA-50. It is a real floater, uber-high quality kit and killer looks. To be honest, I wouldn't even give that NP/GSP kit a second look if it is only $70 less than the GP.

I like the AW plane, but I have heard the ultimates fly better than the Pitts. Any truth to that?

Default Re: Anyone for a 50cc Ultimate??

Last week I received the Ultimate 45CC-50CC Giant Scale Radio Remote Controlled RC Bi-Plane from nitro planes. The kit looks really great and I have built it almost perfect. The big problem is with a DL-50 on the nose and all the batteries, regulator, ignition and all weight on the side of the engine box, I am going to have to add 2.6lbs OMG to the motor mount area to get it to balance. Is the friggin tail heavy or what. Please has anyone bought this kit or knows anything about it please let me know. What can somone recommend to replace this kit in a 50cc range in a biplane or 100cc range, I could swap the motor with the manufacturer for a 100cc. BTW Bob at DLUSA is great to deal with and calls me back personally about questions!

I'm puting together the Great Planes Ultimate. I gotta say the plane is nice. But I had to spend 3 hours srinking the covering. It seems like every Great Planes model i have ever had, need a lot of attention to the covering. It shrank up nice, just took a lot of effort. If you go on RCUniverse and do a search on the GP Ultimate, they have nothing but good things to say about it. It's getting a DA50 in it.
