Which ultra sport flies best 40, 60, 1000?

Or how is the US 1000 flies compare to the 60?

I read that the flying weight of the 1000 is between 12-14 pounds and when US1000 gets to 13 pounds there is a big degradation in flight characteristics.

Its stuck in my head to build an ultra sport with retracts and fiber glassed so I’m thinking to build the US1000 from RCM plans and short kit from laser cutter with some gas motor, retracts and fiber glassed.

I see that who added retracts to the US60 didn’t make wheel covers, why?

Hi Alex, the 40 & 60 are quick on the sticks, while the 1000 flys slower and more real like. When I was younger I had the 40 and 60 love that speed, now I am in my 70's the 1000 is more my speed.
