Its no different to them supplying updates on here!

I've had a look at Ultimate Jets website on FB, and it's a good way to publish EVEYTHING they have. That includes current gear available, future updates, changes/build information etc. Having everything on their own site is much more effective, rather than having 10 different threads going on here!!!

Bob, we have 3 production sites: France, Dubai, Houston. Updating via Facebook is the only way for me to get the pictures from the 3 sites fast ( Eric, Woody, Barry and I have a common access rights to FB ). Then I can make articles on my blog and here.
If you want fresh news, Facebook is your friend!

I just don't think that you will reach as many people of FB as you would on RCU.

That's right Bob. We use FB for the reason stated above. However from a user point of view, you'll have a lot more goodies and early stuff from there.

Hi Oli,

How have you been? I'll be coming through Dubai in about 2 1/2 weeks, but unfortunately it will only be to catch a flight home, so no time to visit.

Hope to catch up sometime again either there or U.S. Take care.

Regarding the FB topic? If it's on FB, I'll never see the news or updates because I choose not to do FB, so if it's not on RCU, I'll obviously miss out. BTW, the Ultimate website is nice!

Hi George. Too bad we cannot catch up for a drink or two.

Eventually, all the updates that come on Facebook end up on my blog and RCU. Just a matter of time.
I perfectly understand your choice about FB. For us, it is just very convenient.
See you maybe in Texas or at some US meetings.
Oli.

It's a hate it or love it theme. I love it. I think it's totally sick and off the charts. I like the blue theme and the red and silver (is the silver mirror finish like the drawing or gray silver like the pic?)

The grey scheme is the one on the pictures. Not chrome.

Hello Everyone
I saw the white and red scheme at the Fort Bend Jet Rally this last weekend and i must say that it is gorgeous. the paint job looks like it was done by Mercedes! The workmanship was beautiful inside and out.I really don't know why they call it white because it looked more like the cinammon color that you see some Porsches painted. It actually a pretty big jet! wish i could afford to buy one but the tax man called.

I thought it was " ok - neat" until I saw it at the Houston Rally - it's pretty fine. And that's some serious-quality composite work. I mean, whoever's laying these things up has obviously done this a while; very professional looking, very tight trim work, etc. Looks like it came out of a full scale, production shop with no slop that I could find.

It is bigger than the pictures indicate. Just wish it was flying...

Am very impressed, but agree some will not find it exciting and some will; kind of polarizing shape, but very unique none the less.

Congradulations guys - great looking model.

Any videos of this flying? I like the 60's cartoon look of the jet.
