Hey guys,

Doing the repairs on the Ultimate Bipe I have, I'm starting to get itchy fingers again and contemplating (though I know I should behave on the $) another build. I've always liked the look of extras - given 3D flying to me is too risky, and requires some fancy ARF with a hefty price tag, Im looking at this one, which also is a comfortable size for me.

Whats the consensus on this plane and performance? I am thinking (to appease the other half) it will have to replace my ultrasport 60 as I can't justify having more than two planes.

LUckily my uncle is willing to pawn off a new OS Surpass 120III to me for cheaps (non-pumped) so its a good way to get into the fourstroke thing - I figure thats a good match for this bird.

I have read the other threads on this but keen to get a fresh take on it. I like the ultrasport but want something more snappy and convienent than the ultimate bipe.

Naturally i'd go to town on it - CF landing gear and after market cowl/pants + some tail feather mods and a tops covering scheme I have a bunch of standard Futaba s3003 servos - are they too weak for this plane - even with a 6v setup? (obviously im doing some costing here). May have to go up a rung in their line to the metal geared ones perhaps? I used Hitec645MG's on the ultimate bipe but personally think they are total overkill - granted that plane has a 120ax on it though.

Cheers! Mark
