Default RE: SIG Ultimate Fun Fly Profile

Great looking Ultimate. I wish I had thought of that styling. I'm just not that creative. I LOVE my Ultimate. It has a GMS .47 and will do anything I'm big enough to try. I made the mistake of putting the servos in the wing according to the instructions, and the elevator servo popped loose in the middle of a loop (not very high, either). Good news is it managed to mush out just as it arrived in a DEEP patch of weeds & grass. Broke dowel out of the bottom wing, and popped the wing struts. A couple of new struts, and a minor rebuild of the lower wing leading edge and it was ready to go again. (Elevator servo firmly epoxyed into a solid mount)

That's me in the cockpit with my "Bob Hoover" straw hat. I figure this is the only way I'll ever get to fly an Ultimate.

Fly the wings off of it!
