Carl Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 Brotherhood.
But I doubt that you will get good vertical performance.
The Saito 125 I have performs very well, with only app. 1.5 of lead in the tail.
And excellent vertical performance!!!!
But a little on the heavy side.
I suppose the YS110 would be very close in performance to the Saito125. Low weight and plenty of power... ...I reccomend trying it!!!
...
One of the wheel pants is busted off, but I found that the T-Clips 70 ARF wheel pants are a very close match, so going to see if I can get a pair of them. They are fiberglass, painted red which is pretty close to the same red the plane is now, and have the same wheel opening.
One question I have, the wire that secures the upper wing, is it supposed to run all the way back to the rear post? This one is only securing to the front post.
Your brotherhood number is # 118 and you may include it within your RC Universe firm so it will be shown on every post you write.

I wish I had known about this build thread before starting.
I have the empanage built and hinged. Fuselage crutch is built and engine has been mounted. using an OS FSII with a Slimline Pitts muffler. Looking for an alum or carbon landing gear.
I've been out of the hobby for more than 20 years and boy how things have changed!
Love to build but find it hard to do here; the local hobby shop doesn't support the build side of the hobby (does anybody in the low country build?)
I'm currently building a new bench before I start on my wings. I found a slab of marble ( 3/4" x 21 1/2" x 60") for $30! Finally, a truly flat surface to build on!
Does PeterJ still have templates mfor the Ultimate?
the only way that gear will hit the wings is if i pile drive it into the ground!

No problems after 100+ flights.
You'll add a lot of weight... ...and you'll have to put more weight in the tail.

I did not build the wing with strut mounting wing ribs so I’m committed to a different route than the original design.<o></o>
There are thick hard balsa ribs at the strut mounting locations. These will be drilled to accept metal threaded inserts where studs permanently mounted to the struts screw into. <o></o>
The Great Planes ARF Ultimate use this method so I am trying to replicate it.<o></o>
I had cabinet inserts that were handy with a 4mm internal thread. The head was cut away and the remaining exterior was given a rough texture to insure permanent fixing in the wing.<o></o>
Then I fabricated the knurled nuts on one of my lathes from 12mm solid alu stock.

The one thing that I haven't been able to figure out is how much rudder throw it should have. This one doesn't move very much, but its so big that shouldnt be an issue for its maiden flight. The only way I can see getting more throw is to put longer control horns on the rudder.
