I guess this is all relative. I'm at 600' asl, and think the 150 is about right on this plane. The Ultimate is capable of some of the more extreme aerobatics and the power the 150 offers dosen't leave much of this on the table. I guess it is all about how much of the Ultimates potential a guy wants to tap into.

Most bipes do have the glide ratio of a well trimmed Coke machine, but again, my Ultimate (when balanced properly) does have the best glide of any bipe I have had, which include, the Pitts, Christian Eagle, EAA, Liberty Sport, Weeks, Skybolt, Sopwith Pup, among others.
