Please forgive me for getting off topic a bit. I have an original UltraSport 40 from 1991 that I never finished building. I have the entire kit, plans, box, instructions, and hardware. I have completed the kit upto putting the "turtle-deck" on the fusealage. I am curious if anyone would want to purchase this from me? Just curious if anyone would be interested.

I've got 4 US 60's and 2 US 1000's myself. Otherwise I would take you up on your offer too. I will say that anybody reading this should think abou t buying from the man. Like Minn said, easily the best plane ever put out.

Just curious Ryan, What would you take for your US40 shipped to So. IL. 62812? I'd be very interested for the right price. Please e-mail me for quickest response. FEB

Sorry sdcranford for the delay in answering your question, yes I had it built at a proffessional hobby shop and it cost me US $ 200 plus monokote and glue.

I've got a kit on the way. I am contemplating having it built as I dont have much time to do it. I'm sure i could build it but looks pretty involved and would probably take me a year start to finish.

Well it is better to let somebody built for you, it should take maximum of 40 days. I would have helped you in this matter but i am far away in the Middle east.

Got a US1000 from a guy in Chicago. Flew it today. Equipped with a Super Tigre 3000 and a 16x8 3 blade prop. Flies excellent. What a great airplane. I too may start hoarding the kits for future use.

That's a pretty awesome covering job, but I made mine black the first time and black kinda sux in the air. Dunno this time probably going to be white with some metallic blue and red trim or something...

I picked up this Ultra Sport 40 at our club auction this past February because I heard that they were such great flying planes. I have to agree that they are. Mine is powered by an ASP .46 which powers it around pretty well. With the light grey on dark grey color scheme, it is a little hard to see at times, which is why the previous owner sold it. It has a yellow stripe on the bottom of each wing for better visibility, but it needs more. One more thing to do this winter, but hey, they are long here in Minnesota, so I'm sure I will get around to it. I also got the plans along with the completed plane, so if anything happens, I should be able to build a new one.
