Hey everyone,

I recently became the new owner of a Dave Patrick Ultimate ARF from the late '90s. It has a YS 1.40 in it that is pumped/ Supercharged and is a beast for power. I just maidened it today and she flies great! Roll rate is scary fast!! I will definitely need to use some Expo to tone it down! Motor purrs nicely at idle and becomes a lion at power! I did some slight modifications including painting/ installing pilot, instrument panel, and painting the prop the resemble the MT Props of full scale aerobatic planes. Here's some pics :




Future upgrades for next winter will include a full teardown, inspection, engine overhaul, and recover with new color way. I'd like to go with 3-blade carbon fiber with CF spinner in black, rework the landing gear to be more scale like, (they should have a rearward cant).




Who else has one of these? Please share with pics!!
