I believe it's distributed by DA also.

Yeah, that would be a tough sell. I had to agree to let my wife landscape the back yard in order to get my 30% Edge. I'm not sure what I'd have to do to spend $5k. lol

Status: offline 		Hey would you PM or e-mail me details of your 30% Edge? Some pics too? I'm looking for something in the 30% range for the end of the year. I was talking to my wife the other night and I'm pretty sure I have one, or maybe two more planes that I can get but then I'm done for quite awhile. I'm thinking about going to medical school and if I do she'll be paying the bill since I won't exactly be earning a whole lot . All things considered I don't think spending tons of moola on a hobby would be smart. She said that if this is a good year for us financially I can possibly put together a 30% for Christmas, but there is no way I would be allowed to go larger, and I won't be getting anything else other than required items such as fuel for a long time.

She's so good to me. I need to go kiss her right now.

Status: offline 		It's a 30% BME Edge III http://www.bmeaircraft.com/html/edgeII/edgeII.html
Here's a video of JohnVH flying his: http://media.putfile.com/BME-Edge-540-II

I've already got the ugly rainbow's ripped off & am in the process of replacing them.

I've been posting some pic's in the BME thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=4286559
If you go to the latest pages I've got a few pic's of my progress.

Here's the setup:
DA-50-R with Slimline Pitts (Tru Turn spinner)
Futaba PCM RX
Fromeco 2400 LithIon with reg's (dual for RX & 1 for ignition)
Hitec 5945's all around 5955 on rudder (futaba S3151 on throttle)



(notice, dual batteries & switches... )

Color scheme made it look like the big brother to your SSE.

Compared to your SSE kit, how did you like the quality of the Goldberg kit?

Status: offline 		After following this thread from the begining and seeing what happened to Tony's Ultimate I decided to revamp my Ultimate before flying this year. I refit it with DUAL switches and batteries and a smoke system. Here are some pics of mods. The smoke system was designed from an old Carl Goldberg diagram that I found here on RCU using the YS pressurized fuel system for injection pressure. It did not affect the way the engine ran at all.

Thanks for the kind words.

On the first kit there were some pieces that were warped pretty bad, but fortunately it was all standard stuff that I could buy at the LHS.
The second kit seems to have a lot better wood in it, but some of the aileron stock was warped. Fortunately Goldberg immediately sent me some replacement aileron's.

In my opinion the kit is a great second kit after the SSE. Other than a few more wing ribs & an extra wing that take a little more time, it goes pretty quick & there's nothing real hard.

I've been watching your SSE build too & it looks great!! Hopefully I'll get my Edge finished up in the next week or so. Then I can start back in on Ultie II.

Very nice YS, I'm glad your getting some useful tips. I'm certainly running dual batteries/switches in all of my future planes.

One other thing I'll be doing to my next one is putting some triangle stock behind the mounting blocks for the bottom wing in the fuse & fuelproofing the wood. I showed a picture a while back of how mine sheared out in the crash & I believe somebody else said that area came apart due to fuel damage after many flights.

I should probably throw smoke on the next Ultie too, it just looks so cool!!!

Status: offline 		ysrcflyer,

I have a old YS 120SC I was planning on using in my Uliti. From reading this thread a lot of guys are going with the Saito 125 because of the light weight. Were did you mount your servos for the elevator and rudder? When I bought this kit many years ago, seemed like the YS was the way to go and to offset the weight people would mount the servos in the rear of the fuse. Depending on how much trouble it is to mount the servos in the rear, I may buy the Saito 125 ( I can already hear my wife). It just seems to be much easier with eveything up front. I was also planning on using smoke. I've never tried it before and this bird looks like the build to give it a try.
BTW nice bird.

The 1.25 brings the overall weight of the Ultie down, but it does make the nose a little light. I had to put the battery under the tank with all the servo's in the belly to balance it.
I think the YS would probably be perfect if you want the servo's in the tail for the elevators.

On the one I'm building now I will be putting the elevator servo's in the tail but I'm hoping that with dual batteries planted on the firewall & the usage of CF/titanium pushrod's It'll come close to balancing.

I may slide the motor a little further forward too to help with the balance.
