Default Servo setup for DP Ultimate?

I have been flying my ultimate for 2 years (one of the first). I have 4 GWS coreless, metal gear servos in the wings, (as per Dave Patricks suggestion), a GWS coreless, 100+oz. servo w/pull pull, on the elevator, a std BB servo on the rudder, w/pull/pull, and a std BB servo for the throttle. Engine is a Saito 150. Amen to the posts that warn about the weak landing gear. I stalled the plane (engine failure), near the ground, and splayed the gear out straight, piercing the covering under the wing. I have since replaced the gear w/a carbon fiber. The plane also has a weak tail wheel. Other than that it is a great plane. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if I lost this one.

Good luck, Bill White
