I tell ya... the more I see the WH Ultimate, the more I'm thinking of selling the WM Ultimate I purchased recently. I got a really good deal on the WM one, but the WH is just too dang nice! I want to start building soon so I need to make a final decision.

I can't wait to see the maiden video. Good flying.

Status: offline 		Glad to hear your almost finished Ken, I'm just about done myself.... Have to program the top wing servos and add on the other wheel pant. Hopefully I will have a chance to fly it Thursday or Friday.
I have a digital video cam at my disposal but I need to purchase a firewire card.

Status: offline 		I might just get it in the air tomorrow. I'll be taking the cameras and take a bit of Video. However I am no 3D expert so there will not be allot of that type flying in the video.

All I got left is sealing the hinge gaps and installing the logos.

Thanks for all the Kudos.

Below you can see where I installed my radio/battery tray. With these installed here and the DA 50 up front it balanced on the recommended 6 1/2"

Status: offline 		Ahh, but it's atough bird I only bent the gear a little and knocked my main battery loose. All is fixed and waiting for another day.

I do have some issues I need to resolve. Hopfully Tom or anyone can give me some guidence. Since this is my first big Bipe maybe I did something wrong.

1. I have allot of right trim in the ailerons. I mean ALLOT 3/4" or there abouts. Any ideas on why?
2. Landings are FAST. I need to figure out a better way to slow it down. I didn't get enough time to do a stall check to see just how slow I can get it.


Good comment is that this is one TOUGH plane. which is good I flipped it on it's back and it was no worse for it.
