With a Saito 100 you can really tear up the sky, but it's 3-D capabilities are somewhat disappointing.

If you don't care about 3-D, it will be an excellent combo

Have you tried an inverted flat spin with it yet?

Status: online 		Where did you guys purchase the ARF kit for this World Models Ultimate 120 ? Does it have a wingspan of 60 inches as I've been told it does ? Can't get any info on this kit !
I am intending to put a YS 110 on it if I can get the plane ! Thanks.

I used a YS 110 and it's a great combo.

Here's the review I did on it:

Status: online 		Thanks MinnFlyer for the interesting and informative review article. Sounds like the YS 110 is the engine for this bipe. Looks like I'll have an interesting winter project to complete.

Status: offline 		Anyone compared the WM Ultimate with the comparable ARF from Carl Goldberg? The two have the same price, size, about the same wing area and engine rating but differ weight wise? According to mgf specs the WM is 9.9 lbs and the CG is btw 7.5-8.5 lbs. Curious in understanding why there is such a big difference. Has anyone tried both out? Opinion on wich to chose of the two?

Status: offline 		Anyone tried an OS120 on the WM ultimate 120R? Seems a YS110 is a good combo but find it a bit difficult to tune speaking through experience with the one I have in my wm velox. I'm now considering an OS120 w/ pump for the ultimate but the weight of the engine makes me think twice.

Thanks for your feedback, I was just concerned with the weight of the OS 120.

I also plan to put a smoke system, can you post some photos of how you set it up? placement of smoke tank..etc. Did you need a smoke pump or just use muffler presure to pump the smoke oil? By the way, what smoke oil did you use? Plan to get a slimline smoke pitts muffler if I can find one.

Any idea of your AUW (dry weight) including smoke system?

Sorry for the many questions..
