I am building a ultra-sport 60 from the original plans that I got back in 1989 I built one back then great plane I sold it (big mistake) then I built one from a kit, it got shot down the second day I took it out. Ok I am going to try again the problem is great planes made some changes to the kit plane it has a little more dihedral than the original was this and improvement and should I do this on the one I am building.

Thanks in advance

Are you saying you built one from the original RCM plans?? And the Great Planes kit is different??

Yes it looks to me to be different on the original you turn the wing up side down on a flat surface and join the wing on the GP kit you keep the wing right side up and block the tips up 1-1/8 it just looks like a little more dihedral to me maybe I am just confused, it is a lot easier to just lay the wing upside down and glue, but if there is a good reason to do it I will do it the way the kit was done. Thanks

I've built 2 of the GP US 60's, and both were built by blocking up the wingtips. I didn't have any problems doing it that way at all. I can't argue with the way they performed either. Build it by the plans and you shouldn't have any problems.

Gents...would anyone have the patterns for the US60 ribs. I need to rebuild one due to an oops.
