BVM Ultra Maiden
Last weekend saw the maiden of my Ultra Bandit. the build was typical BVM...everything fit perfect and was engineered to eliminate any guess work. the flight was rock solid (except my knocking knees
) it took 3 clicks up elevator. built with all JR high voltage servos using 2S lipo's and no regulators.

it has a P200SX. started perfect first time. using the large fuel tanks. engine came up to full RPM in normal time. no UAT issues. it does have the dual feeds into the header, per BVM adendum.

Congrats Kirk!
Scott, where do you have the CG on yours? Mine is right on the recommended CG I had to add a socket to the nose to balance it, and could really use the socket back in my socket set.

it is spot on the recommended CG, because i went with a single place canopy i had to stick about 5 oz way up in the nose.

If so, how do you fuel up your bird ?
PS - i see you got a pitot tube - how fast does she go ?

are you feeding fuel from the mains into the top 2 nipples on the UAT ?
If so, how do you fuel up your bird ?

so 2 feeds into the center header, and the UAT works well all stock with a P-200SX ?
