Default RE: BME Ultimate arrived!!!!!! Pics here...

Sorry guys... I was diganosed with Leukemia and that... well... kinda screwed up my head for a while.

I ended up working with RCU to do a full review... the plane is 98% complete and I will hopefully fly it in the next couple weeks weather permitting (it's acutally getting better instead of worse)

I will be going to have a bone marrow or stem cell transplant in about 4-5 weeks so I eally need to get this done.


Some overall thoughts.

the plane is built very well... would be excellent with the BME 110... I have the ZDZ 100 NG in it and it came out nose heavy because I didn't beliebe Max and out the engine as far forward as aI could... that'll teach me...

I ended up installing a HiTec 5735MG in the tail and balanced great... I am also using the Duralite PowerBox 40/24 on it with dual 4000's...Sweet system.. perhaps a tad overkill on this plane but still very nice... I did a seperate review for this here on RCU.

Total weight is going to be right at 30 lbs... A little heavier than I had hoped, but again, I installed canisters... (Which the plane was not designed for but easily converted for use.)

So... hang tight and I'l lpost here when the review is posted and ready to be cjhecked out wiht VIDEO...
