37% Ultimates

Nice work Bat. I'd like to see more as you move along with it as well.

Thanks,
Ken

very nice!

there isn't anyone who wouldn't like this airplane! after several flights on the one at our club, i think i can safely say that this is the best bang for the buck in the 100cc class!!!!! at $649 this is a no brainer!

I've got the baffles in the oven now. Final assembly will be tomorrow. This is going to be interesting. They hold very little heat. Next is to make up the headers. Has anyone tried silicone couplers on a 100cc exhaust set up? The highest continiously rated stuff I've found is 350* and I dont think its going to be high enough. I want to use them to help with the vibes from the motor.

Hi Ken.I use VESS 27A

[luv2flyguy]

This plane is very tempting to me, I have been wanting to go to the 100cc class for over a year without spending an arm and a leg on an airframe, I flew an Ultimate (Goldberg 60 size) years ago for my second plane after I learned to fly, I loved it and have always really liked the Ultimate, it just looks like a hot rod on the flight line.

Go for it you won't be disappointed that you did. I haven't met one who has been anything other than blown away by this airplane. Chris

I just finished up the final install of the carbon fiber cannisters. Forgive my TIG welding, it was my first time. Next time I will "tack" it with the tig and then "silver" solder them together. It looks much nicer that way.

From talking to others, I know the header length is too long. My reason to the long length is that I can cut a little off till I find some sort of "resonance" to when the combo starts to sing.

Then I can find out if this thing will hold up. Just from observing what I saw from "cooking" them it should'nt be an issue. I baked them at 200 degrees for an hour and was able to remove them from the oven with my bare hands. They were very warm, but not scalding hot.

The next test will be tomorrow when I fire it up for the first time and see how the cans react.

BTW, I gained less than 10oz with the final install (w/clamps, coupler and mount). I will finalize that tomorrow.

on a side note we have tried the vess 27a and the 27b and currently fly it with the "b".

Did I miss where you got the CF cannisters from and the cost of them?

[Bat Fastard]

One more thing, the RPM's I quoted before were wrong......It should have been 6139 instead of 6319. Any one else have info on a stock muff equipped BME 110 with a MEJZLIK 28-10. Before AND after a 10 min flight? I'm about 200' ASL.
Thanks,
Jamie

I made them myself.

Did you cut the header off to the length you needed, or do they go inside the inlet of the cans? Not too bad of a job on the tig welding for your first time. It is looking very good, can't wait to hear how the stand up, sound and perform. A video with sound of the engine running on the ground and then flying in the air would be great in the near future, maybe even a Db reading.
