Re: airborne-models ultimate
I have one with a DA100 in it. Build quality is not bad. I tried to put ZDZ 80 single but it was just way too light. This is a very tail heavy plane and thats why i installed the DA. I used some of the hardware that came with it. Just a personal choice but i think you can use all the hardware. Field assembly takes a while because of the flying wires and having 2 wings. Hope this helps.

Re: airborne-models ultimate
Would this be the same as the "World Models" ultimate.. I think distributed by AirBorne????
If so.... I recently built a 42% Ultimate... it is fun to fly, but the ARF is JUNK... very junky... crappy covering.. (The clear backing is beginning to pel away from the adhesive pigment layer on mine...) It is a rattle trap that will be constant maintanence... The planes do 3D well... mine is a harrier/hover/torque roll monster... has too much coupling in a real high beta knife edge.... does bad ass blow overs... and flys very slow... NOT a precision IMAC'ish plane with a DA150... (Needs a DA 200!!!) Remember these are MY opinions regarding the 42% plane mfg'd by world models... Really though.. other then under powered (I fly at 3000 feet msl and 103 degrees F) and some knife edge issues, it is a hoot to fly.... Mine is for sale with a bad ass single bolt carbon spinner and wing bags for $1600.00 It has about 50 flights.... FMAB |
