Getting teady to start assembling DP Ultimate 40
I just finished assembling my DP Ultimate 40. I used YSmans mod for the elevator servo with excellent results. Hitec 5245 all around except throttle which is a Hitec 81. I used a 6volt AAA 750mah battery pack. Everything else is stock to the kit. OS50SX with a Bisson pitts muff. 11x6 APC prop and this thing flys fantastic! 5lbs 5ozs dry. I "re-arranged " the color scheme a bit to make it at least a little original (for an ARF). I simply pulled off the yellow and orange trim and added black striping. The cowl was a little tricky. Mask the red and black, sand the yellow and orange paint off and add black. Add some decals (I had some call letters left over from an Extra I built - I know they aren't correct, but they look good) and you have a new look.
Thought this might interest someone. I'll throw in a couple of pix.
