Default Re: airborne-models ultimate

Would this be the same as the "World Models" ultimate.. I think distributed by AirBorne????

If so.... I recently built a 42% Ultimate... it is fun to fly, but the ARF is JUNK... very junky... crappy covering.. (The clear backing is beginning to pel away from the adhesive pigment layer on mine...)
It is a rattle trap that will be constant maintanence...
The planes do 3D well... mine is a harrier/hover/torque roll monster... has too much coupling in a real high beta knife edge.... does bad ass blow overs... and flys very slow... NOT a precision IMAC'ish plane with a DA150... (Needs a DA 200!!!)

Remember these are MY opinions regarding the 42% plane mfg'd by world models...

Really though.. other then under powered (I fly at 3000 feet msl and 103 degrees F) and some knife edge issues, it is a hoot to fly....
Mine is for sale with a bad ass single bolt carbon spinner and wing bags for $1600.00
It has about 50 flights....
