Default H9 Big Ultimate ??

Here's a copy of an e-mail I received last week: (I'd asked about it's hovering and knife-edge capabilities)

We (Hangar 9) are considering the release of a 46% Ultimate (100" span). I flew a prototype at the IMAC NATS a few weeks ago. That model is my design and was built at the ARF factory. Production would come out looking essentially the same. Cost is still uncertain, but it would be no more than $1999. in ARF form.
Its hovering/Torque roll and vertical capabilities are EXCELLENT. It actually hovers easier than almost anything I've flown to date. Really surprised me. (Pics attached) (See P.S. below)
Knife edge and essentially anything requiring rudder power is the forte of an Ultimate. Knife edge loop is pretty simple. It does however take a lot of servo power on the rudder.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Sincerely,

P.S. Don't know how to transfer the pictures into this message. Tell how and it'll be done.
