Default RE: Skybolt or Ultimate

Sorry I just went back and read the original post. Out of the two you have listed the Skybolt is the nicer of the two ARF's. I dont know if it will fly any nicer than the Goldberg ultimate but it is a much nicer ARF to build. I have built the Goldberg plane and while it is a nice plane it is a really dated ARF compaired to the Skybolt. One of my flying buddies has a kit built skybolt and one has the ARF version and both are really nice planes. I have flown the kit built plane and while it flew really nice it still did not fly like the ultimate. If I were going to build another Ultimate ARF I would first look at the Dave Patrick 120 size then the World models 120 size which looks just like the one in the picture in the post above this one. It looks like ths same plane sold by nitro planes and is probably made in the same factory. Like I said in the post above I have flown alot of ultimates and if I was buying another 120 size one would get the Dave Patrick plane.
