37% Ultimates

[Oilsands]

All done the Ultimate, now just waiting for the snow to go and the field to dry up.

i'm looking for something that will take a dl 110, drop-in cannisters. will this one fit that bill? pb.

[smokin]

you are gonna absolutely love this airplane! it is by far the biggest bang for your buck in the 100cc arf world!

After reading all the threads on this plane, I just had to have one. It arrived today and no shipping damage. This is quite a plane. Its built like a tank, fit and finish seems to be first class. I will be using one of the new DLE 111 twins from China. Looking forward to starting on it tomorrow.

This plane is not setup for cannisters, but I think someone in an earlier post has done the modifications and installed cans. I could be wrong and thinking of a different thread, since I did not go back and check yet. If using stock mufflers, you will need to cut some of the cowl out for the front of the mufflers. Or you could use the compact mufflers and not have to do those cuts.

It is a very good deal and from what I have heard from others who have this plane I will be very happy with it. Hoping to maiden very soon, the snow is almost all gone.

Have fun with it, Anthony! I got to fly JohnVH's Ulty and was immediately comfortable with it in both precision and 3D flying. Ultimates do some of the prettiest snap rolls out there, and I love doing lots of snap rolls! I also don't think I've seen a plane do a better inverted flat spin than the Ultimate as well, and that goes for all models of the Ultimate Biplane that I've seen.

[Oilsands]

Thanks Ryan. With all this feedback about the planes, I have been really excited to get them out.

Yes I install canister on mine , K&S 86v4 with L shape header from also K&S that we cut to size.

Great power for my ZDZ 100cc with VESS prop 27A.

That the best Ultimate i have.

I post later picture of the installation.

[sweetpea]

Please post the photos of the can installation. I tore the covering off the rudder and the fuse today. I don't think I have enough covering to get very far on the recover though.

Couple thoughts.

1. I'm looking to put a few more holes in the plane. Specifically near the wing tube in the Plywood sides. I see 2-3 spots that could have holes in it. Along with the motor box

2. I found a spot for the rudder pull/pull servos to go in the tail. I'm using a R/C Blimp titanium tailwheel for the plane and I plan to put holes in the rudder and stabs......can anyone confirm they are foam based or are they built up?

[jssophusson]

sweetpea,
the tail sections are the same as the wings, balsa covered foem. I can't wait to see the recover job, what's the sceme? Hope to see ya at bellair big bird june 6-7!
cya,

That is great news. I figured they were but wanted to make sure before I cut them up.

I hope to make the Big Bird as well as the Warbird meet. The new scheme is under wraps until I get closer to cutting it out. I'm no artist and I can't even draw stick people straight so we shall see......

Plan is for this

3W106 on cans (mufflers if I can't find some cheap ones) I have the motor and mufflers already
Mejlik 28x10 or a PAU 28x10
8411 or 8611a's on all surfaces. I have a few of each laying around but not enough
Monokote covering
Sullivan skywriter smoke pump
EQ6 powerexpander
R/C blimp titanium tailwheel
Spektrum AR9000


I'm on leave all this week so I'm going to try to cover the tail and fuse (easy parts of the scheme) since the weather is crap for painting the P-47.

I got the old Edge 540 back in action. Its been about 4yrs since the crash and I ran the motor and smoke system on Saturday and it all worked out. Remaiden this weekend maybe. Now I'm down to the Ulti and my Jet to finish up along with some foamies.

[jssophusson]

Can't wait to see the ulty! I had to recover the bottom of mine due to need not want. I have been thinking of recovering my new sukhoi in a monster energy theme since I have no da for it yet. My wife keeps saying bills are more important. And I thought a da was just another bill but she disagrees!

Sweetpea, looking forward to seeing the mod's that your planning on doing as well as your new recover. Good luck on the remaiden, hope you get great flying weather. Looking to maiden mine this week, forcast looks good so far.

[sweetpea]

I'll start up a new thread with my build. I should get most mods done this week and hopefully I've got enough white covering to get a good start.
