Status: offline 		Lets see your 1.20 size Ultimates, the white and yellow version. Curious to see pictures of the quality of the aircraft from a flyer like myself. I am seriously considering, sounds like a good deal if the shipping to east coast canada isn't out rageous. Would either power it by a Saito 1.50 or a OS 1.60FX.

Thankss

It flies pretty well with an O.S. 1.20..

The new and lighter yellow version should do VERY well with the 1.20, and really rock with either of the engines you mentioned.

Status: online 		That would be a great match, especially if you keep things on the light side so that you would get good verticals.

That's what I use on my older and MUCH heavier version, and mine has aux battery packs, smoke pump, etc.

It hovers but doesn't have a lot of pull out power. The lighter newer version should do fine.

Pretty standard rate. It costs me the same for a similary sized box to the east coast of the U.S.

Welcome to the world of high oil prices.

Status: online 		If it's ANYTHING like my "Pink" version ( which it is almost identical in profile, etc. ) you'll love it.

It flies great.

Change out the tail wheel, re-inforce the landing gear mount area and the firewall.

I've actually left on the provided gear.

Some people complain that they are a bit soft, but I prefer that the gear splay out on an overly hard landing, protecting the plane...

I merely bend them back at the field when this happens and fly again...

Status: offline 		I got a YS 110 FZ in mine. The YS motors are known for power so it hovers at 25% throttle. Had a rough landing on it after I deadstick it by running out of fuel. But the plane is still in good shape.

Status: online 		Looks like an O.S. 1.20 FS.

Ugh they cut such a large hole in the cowl because of the side mount.

An inverted mount looks great on this plane and eliminates the need for such ugly cutouts.

The plane does NOT have a tendancy of nosing over so this is not problematic.

I fly mine with the engine inverted.
