I have a chance to purchase a partially built 3W 44% Ultimate, but I don't know a lot about this airframe. How does it compare with the newer designs such as the H9 Ultimate? Was planning on using a DA-150 for power, but I'm not sure what weight these are coming in at. Cactus Aviation's site shows 42-45lbs. in the specs, and then mentions 39lbs in the description of the kit. Any experiences that you could share about building/flying this plane would be a big help!
