RE: Great planes ultimate 160

DISCONTINUED.
Iwas browsing Tower Hobbies site last night and noticed that they've discontinued this great plane. Too bad. I'm glad I got one before they did it. If you need spare parts you'd...

RE: Great planes ultimate 160

I watched a video on YouTube of a GP Ultimate wiht a DLE30 (3.7 hp) and it flew great. There were no details of the build so, don't know if the owner made any other "adjustments" to the plane to...

RE: Great planes ultimate 160

Well, it's finished except for CG balance and engine test run. I probablly won't put the wheel pants on until after the first couple of flights. Finishing it up went faster than Ithought. I cut the...

Sad to report the demise of my 30% Edge 540T today. The airframe is a total loss.
Coming out of a 2 turn spin there was no UP. The elevator died or something and I couldn't pull out. We have a...

RE: Great planes ultimate 160

I believe there are several folks powering this plane with large 4 strokes. Check it out on YouTube and I think you'll find a couple of vidoes. Remember, this plane will weigh in around 14 to 15 lbs...
