I don't own one but I have seen one fly with a DA-150 and it's enough.

[Jcarte]

I second that

I have one with DA 150 stock mufflers 30x12 mejlik prop with smoke probably 43-44 lbs never weighed it. This is my second one and both have been excellent performers. This one has 2-8411s on each aileron 2 8711 mounted in the tail in push-pull on rudder, 2-8711 one on each elevator. Batteries are under the canopy and it still needs tailweight. I was doing knife edge loops today at 1/3 throttle on the pull out. Several Imac fliers were there and they were very impressed with the
how well the plane performs. Axial rolls and vertical unbelievable today (60 degrees good air.)
You will not be dissapointed I am sure as long as you have a good DA 150.

Sorry Bill,
I didn't realize it was you! Do it you got my word.

Hey Mike,
Yep, I love that 210 on my Ultimate But I'm thinking the YAk will like it even better... UNLESS someone out there knows a 210ZDZ for SAle ??

Bill I have another 210. I blew the plug out of the cylinder head 2 years ago at the Nats. I bought a new 210 from John Shroeder that had the thicker cyl heads on it at the meet.
I sent the motor to ZDZ about a month ago Mike said he warranty it. When he got the motor he had his helper call me and tell me that because I drilled the hole to turn the carb upside down they felt like that could have been the cause.
I built race car motors for 15 years and both I and they know the plug blew out because the cylinder was to thin. They had the problem on alot of them. They wanted $900 to put the new heads on it. I was very upset but agreed to pay half. To make a long story short as soon as they get the new style heads in I will have a motor. I was going to put it on another plane but now I am so pizzed at them I don't care If I ever see a ZDZ again. I will PM you with another story of a friend of mine and his recent experience with them.
sorry for venting just thought the world should know.

here's a pic of a Godfrey Ultimate,at 52lbs the 150 will still yank this thing through the air ,yes it does hover ,and yes it still has vertical pull

I've never seen it fly on a DA-150 but I have seen if 3-D with a 3W-150. Plenty of motor

[dubd]

I have seen and flown one powered by a DA-150 and it was awesome. Plenty of power. I also saw one fly (but I did not fly it) with a 3W-157 and it had a slight advantage in power from what I saw. The guy with the 3W-157 said he had a 3W-212 on it, but took it off and likes the plane with the 157 MUCH better. Here is a pic of my friend hovering it. It pulls out easily.

Doug Cronkite flew his Ultimate with the ZDZ 210. It was very impressive flying Unlimited in IMAC. He flew it very very well. Everyone I have seen fly sequences with a 150 (without pipes) is underpowered

i just got one of those Ultimates & mine will be of the 150 and the DA is were I am leaning.....

[snap a saurus]

I had one powered with a DA 150, plenty of power, check this little clip of me flying a friends Ultimate as you can see no shortage of power and that's at 4500 feet

[krayzc]

Sweet!!!!

is everyone using two servos per aileron? Would one 5955 be enough per aileron?
