Elie,
Our 260's are coming out great. I should be done wiring them by the end of next week. Then all I will have to do is mount the engines and do all the programming (I hope). After that, I will start on the 60% cub and hopefully get it done in a couple of weeks. As for a larger plane, Jared and I will have them next year. I will start building the 170 inch wingspan ultimate for the 3w 684 this summer and hope to have it done for next year along with a 180 to 200 inch winspan Bearcat and a 180 to 200 inch Seafury.

Good news, I am just about done with mine, I will start the programing today, between the Powerbox, 19 servos in a 60% airplane, I am not sure how I am going to do it.
These are some serious projects you will be tackling in the future, the 342 is huge, I can't imagine 2 of them hooked together to make the 384, I am jealous

Hey John,

That Ultimate sounds sweet!! Is that going to be a scratch build or one of the Weimo planes? Hope to see a build thread when you start!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

i can't even begin to imagine a 684!

Tikka · 03-09-2009, 08:21 PM

The Ultimate I am building has a wingspan of 200 inches. Maybe the 684 will be too small?? Damn, I have to start looking for a bigge engine

Cant wait to see the maiden video, Elie, I guess it wont be long now? If I had the money, I would buy a ticket from Oslo to the US and A, and come watch you fly it, and that is no bull****. But someday I will take the trip, and hopefully join you at a Huckfest somewhere.

Maybe we can convince the AMA to increase the weight limit, the 684 weighs over 36 lbs, without mufflers.

200 inch Ultimate is almost full scale, WOW.
I am working on programing the plane now and being extra careful and taking my time, I am also waiting for the prop. Tikka, you are welcome at any Huckfest and if you ever make the One in CT, you're welcome to stay at my house, just let me know, I must warn you though, Huckfests are addictive.
