RE: Finally flew my DPM Ultimate 40!
I got one of these when they forst came out.
I started with a Saito 65 on my ultimate and it balanced perfectly with the battery in the font initially and then I moved it to behind the servo tray to make it less nose heavy. It's nearly perfect now. I recently acquired a Saito 91 and put on it. WOW! It's like a whole different aircraft. The 91 weighs the same as the 65.
Overall, this is the best flying airplane I have owned!!
I've crashed it twice. Once when the throttle pushrod got disconnected and I dead sticked it into a bad spot. Second at my first IMAC contest, I put it in in the second round doing the 2 turn upright spin.
Specs:
Hitec Standard Servos in the wing, elevators, and throttle.
Hitec 605 for the Rudder.
720MAH NIMH battery pack
Saito 91 with 14x6 APC
Stock fuel tank.
Weighs a little over 5 pounds.
