FlyingPilgrim,
Thanks for the info on landing gear/prop clearance issue. I would like to balance all the issues on power to weight, great vertical performance, wing loading (not too high), etc. Lots of things to consider when getting a four stroke that will have great power, easy handling, low weight and will run well on low (15%) nitro.
Others: I don't think the Ultimate is a bad looking plane, just that I prefer the rounder look of the Skybolt. Performance will trump looks, for me, and if the Ultimate performs better, I lean toward that.
The Beech Staggerwing is the one of the best looking airplanes ever made! Not my opinion, just fact!
