RE: Goldberg Ultimate 10-300 build
For what it's worth, I was using a Saito 1.25 in my Ultimate and I have been underwhelmed by its performance. As WarbirdAirRacer mentions, flying at altitude makes a lot of difference. I fly at 3500 feet and the performance is severely limited compared to flying at 500 feet. I have taken the Saito out of mine and since I had it available, I am in the process of installing a ST 3250 on glow. It's not that I need vertical out of site performance, it's just that the Ultimate absorbs a lot of energy and the additional power available in the vertical side of things will really help. Needless to say, I won't be flying at full throttle all of the time, although it's been my observation that many modelers don't use the throttle appropriate to the maneuver. The great thing about this hobby is that even with all of these differing opinions, we continue to experiment and have fun doing it. Lee
