The LHS was looking up the date for the Ultimate today and it was moved back to 9/10/03. So there are 3 more months to wait.

I hope not, the LHS here called them today and they said 20th of this month. Personally I think everyone at Horizon has not clue. Too bad, guess I will just finish the 3W 40% Extra

If it is truely a sept date, that means they have not even been shipped yet. But it would not be the first mistake in the system.

Last info I got from Peter Goldsmith was late June. It may be that the LHS who was checking got availability since I'm told the 1st shipment has been sold out for some time now. So the Sept date may be correct in that's when they can actually get some if they ordered now. I don't know this for sure.. just speculation.

Doug, We ordered mine from the store on the same day McConville annouced it on your board. It wasn't just put in the computer, it was done over the phone directly with the horizon rep. Then we ordered a second one the next day.

The 9/20/03 date could have been a mistake in the system also.

Well.. I've heard 6/20 on the Funtanas.. so maybe the 9/20 was just a fat fingered 6. I should know more later today.

I check the b/o date on the Funtana also. They did not list any date on that. The b/o list is updated twice a week at the store.

Default Ultimate setup ?

What radio and engine setup is everyone going with ? Im thinking a ZDZ 210 and Hitec 5945's.I cant see a 150 class engine providing enough power...

After watching Mike fly the prototype in Las Vegas last year, the DA-150 does in fact have the power to fly it very nicely. That's the engine I plan to put in myself. If I can figure out a way to put cannister mufflers in, I'll do that as well.

As for radio.. 8411's all the way.. but then you'd expect nothing less from me

Is there one or 2 elevator servos per elevator half? just curious, if the servos are mounted in the elevators since its a slab elevator, and not airfoiled.

The configuration is as follows:

1 servo per elevator
2 servos per aileron
4 on the rudder

A single 8411 is plenty.

No I didn't.. sorry. I think Pete is spending 100% of his time at the Aero Tow event there in Champaign.

I'll keep trying though.

Does anyone know if the Ultimate will take tuned cans or not?

with the control horn all the way inside, how does the outer part of the elevator not flex with just the one servo? Just seems like an easy place to get flutter.
