Default RE: Ultimate .46 from Raidentech -- help?


ORIGINAL: darock

I don't know if this will help you because my .46 Ultimate is from World Models but.........

The plywood template that came in my ARF measures:
The stagger is about 32mm
The measurement from TE to TE is 198mm
The measurement from LE to LE is the same
The measurement "straight up and down from top wing centerline to bottom wind centerline is 195mm

Obviously, the two wings seem to have the same AOI.

That's very helpful; thanks very much darock! Now I know I can make a jig and get the wings mounted properly. I just happen to have a couple of chunks of foam insulation in the garage.... [8D]

I was mostly concerned about incidence. My Dave Patrick 1.20 Ultimate has 0-0 wing incidences but I wasn't sure if that was just that particular model. I guess this little Ultimate does, too.

I'm starting to believe the model is the same as a World Models Ultimate, minus a couple of features. Though the box says "Ultimate-46" and has no indication of any manufacturer, the instructions are obviously copied directly from a World Models kit (even has "World Models" in a couple of pages). I think this is a World Models Utlimate, minus the usual World Models pilot figure, transparent second cowl, and spinner. (Oh.. and minus the wing alignment/incidence template!)

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Good flying,
