Does the dp ultimate have dual elevator servos? or is it pull-pull
on a single. Also how will this plane Be useing a saito 150?
I just ordered the plane from cheif and the ad doesn;t say much.
Does it Torque roll and 3D good..Any help will be appreciated.

im sure you could put dual elevator servos on the plane, it should torque roll no problem and do some 3D aswell

I agree, the plane is very light and maneuverable. It will fly good with the 150 im sure.

i used a satio 180 at one time on mine and that was plenty of power for the girl. now she is over kill with a OS-160 but i love it. one servo on the pull pull as far as the elevator is concered...

And there is always the Moki 1.35!

The DP Ultimate is by far the nicest flying plane I've owned. I've had 3 of them! It 3d's very good. I used the Saito 180 on mine and it would hover and pull striaght up and out of it no problem and I am about 6,500 ft above sea level. Use the pull-pull set-up for elevator. It's nice and light and works great. Have fun!

KEVIN,
WHAT SERVOS DID YOU USE IN YOUR ULTIMATE, OR WHAT DO YOU RECCOMEND FOR ALL OUT 3D FLIGHT.

What gas engine would you guy's recommend for the ultimate?
g23,g38, roybi 31cc or something like that?

I recommend using Hitec 605's on the elevator and rudder and a Hitec 81 mini servo on the throttle. I use Hitec 545's on ailerons. Also, I recommend using a 6v battery for maximum torque and speed from your servos.

JOPLINRCFLIER-- I wouldn't use a gas engine period on this plane. It just makes it to heavy and that would be a shame for such a nice light plane....my 2 cents...

Thanks for the reply's I think i'm going to stick with my saito 150
and give it a whirl..Thanks again.

I just ordered one from cheif since patrick's could'nt tell me when they could ship it. went with the Moki 135 a bisson 70 degree muffler. dubro beam mount, true turn ultimate spinner and a bolly = 16.5x8 prop.....verticaly challenged I think not "hope not" got some graftec landing gear and tailwheel to trim it out....how does that all sound?

FOR EVERYONE WHO IS ON THE WAITING LIST FOR THE NEW "BLUE COLOR" SCHEME ( WHICH i HAVE HEARD IS MORE LIKE PURPLE), THE RED COLOR SCHEMES ARE AVAILABLE VIA DP MODELS AND CAN BE SHIPPED TOMARROW. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH ONE OF THIER REPS A FEW MINUTES AGO.

Mine just came today from Cheif, that thing is sweet!..... metalic purple that kinda changes to blue in the right light.... has a deep pearl to the white... test fit all the part's tonight, no forseen problems at all..... what a nice arf. wheel pants seem to be ready for a bomb blast but they look nice, kinda overdone but hey. I'll post a picture of the finished plane. waiting for the Moki 135-bisson, true turn spinner and Bolly prop to get here. :rainfro:

esport,
Thanks for the info! I look forward to seeing your pics from the box to complete!

WELL I HAVE MY ULTIMATE ABOUT 50% COMPLETE AND CANT WAIT TO GET IT OUT TO THE FIELD! WHATS THE SECRET WHEN ROUTING THE CABLES FROM THE SERVOS TO THE CONTROL SURFACE? I HAVE MY ELEVATOR COMPLETLY SET UP AND IT HAS A SLIGHT BIND IN IT AT CENTER WHEN GOING FROM FULL DOWN ELEVATR TO FULL UP. I THINK THE CABLES ARE EITHER BINDING WITH EACH OTHER OR INSIDE THE FUSE SOMEWHERE. DID YOU GUYS USE TUBBING TO ROUTE THE CABLES OR ARE THEY JUST ROUTED IN THE FUSE?

i raised one of the servos with some 1/4 square....

No risers and no binding here. have a small concern about the cable exiting the fuse even with the smoothing of the exits, so I'll put a short piece of nylon tube there. This thing was a no brainer to build and overall it seems to be top shelf for an arf. 99.9% done with it. need to run the Moki in and take it to the field next.

my camera takes realy high res. the site won't allow me to upload. my big machine took a dump a few days ago and I haven't reduced the photo size yet. JD, what power are you using in the ultimate? I can still send them to you're email address if you'd like just PM me the address. Eric
