Is anyone flying one of the new Great Planes Ultimates? I just got the first flight on mine today, DA50 on the front, Hitec digitals, and Fromeco batteries, and it's a great flying plane. I haven't weighed it yet, but I'm betting it's right about 15 pounds. It's slightly larger than the WildHare, and the construction is excellent. I especially like the captured thumbscrews in the interplane struts. This is one biplane that goes together as fast as a monoplane. I got it put together just as fast as the QQ Yak it replaced. I'm very pleased with it, everyone at the field commented that it looks much nicer and larger than it does in pics.
