Default RE: Serious Ultimate Bipe withdrawl

Bubba, check out the new offerings from from world models. They are now marketing the same Ultimates (27% and 30%) that Aeroworks released last year but at a considerable savings. The DP is a beautiful plane and flys as good as it looks but it isn't really built for gas and doesn't perform as well as it does on a glow motor. My guess is that you will be happiest with the WM model if you are set on gas.

I too am a Ultimate guy with 5 of them ranging in size for the little Ace Simple Ultimate through the big DP one. I don't think the Pitts would be a very good idea for precision flying. I have a Christen Eagle (27%) and a Pitts challenger (31%) and both fly well but not as well as the Ultimates do.
