big or small? The carl goldberg ultimate is sweet with a 1.0 or up glow or a 120 or up 4 stroke (saito150 is perfect for it)

It depends what you want to do. The ultimate is good for 3D, the Christian Eagle is good for scale, and scale aerobatics, and the Pitts depends on what kind of pitts, because there are some scale flying ones, and aerobatic ones. I personaly would take a ultimate because i love to 3D.

i have had my ultimate for over a year - this is one of the best flying planes out there - it flies slow manuvers better than anything out there and is a show plane of note because of its presence - it will with the right set up do imac too - the H9 ultimate is the best of them all - fact

Yeah ultimate is sweet. I have the 27% WM one with a DA50 and it is a blast to fly. I fly basic IMAC with it too. Probably not mush good after sportsman IMAC but for 3d it is a monster. With the right throws and CG it will do anything.....

the size that i was thinking was around the 50cc range, i really like the look of the Christen Eagle, but mainly see people flying the pitts, so got me to thinking that maybe the Eagle wasnt that great of a plane. i am not a huge 3d'er so looking for a Cool bipe to just have fun with is my main goal but one i can grow into as my skills get better.

First time Bipe, an Ultimate. They take off and land like a good mono plane. This Ultti flys like a pussy cat.
