RE: looking for a arf ultimate
I saw the Global ultimate fly today. It flew pretty good. A guy in my club has one and he was doing everything with it. It has an OS 46 FX on it and it would fly the plane very good. It would hover at full throttle for about 30 seconds before falling out. I have the GP ultimate and it flys great too. I have only been flying glow planes for a year and a half so I am still learning how to do aerobatics. I mostly do loops and rolls stall turns and other basic stuff. I take it easy on my plane and it flies great. It is very stable and lands great. The only thing is you have to keep power on it when landing. It doesn't glide very well. I had 2 dead sticks today because I ran it out of fuel. I was having so much fun I forgot to land and fuel up. Good thing I fly at a great field with lots of room to land off of the runway. Need to keep better track of my flight times.
