Default GP Ultimate Pictures

I've been meaning to take some pictures of my Great Planes Ultimate for 6 months now and I finally got around to it. This is my first biplane and has been a very enjoyable experience. I'm hoping our field will dry out soon and I can get back in the air.

It's powered by an OS .61FX (heh heh) and has been lightened up quite a bit. Flight performance is outstanding with unlimited vertical.

Very nice looking covering job. How did you do the bottom?? Being very color blind I tend to loose the planes in the air if I don't have A big contrasting area. Just an inquiring mind wanting to know.

The bottom is yellow, but surprisingly there still isn't much contrast. If you look at the photos you'll notice some white bands on the top wing. I added these after I became disoriented and almost destroyed the plane. Now it is much easier to tell the top from the bottom.

This is my Ultimate. This is my first build. It hasn't flown yet but hopefully soon.
