Default RE: Ultimate biplane, mid-sized arf.?


ORIGINAL: JDV500

good morning,

i'm shopping for an ultimate series arf biplane, seen the nitro 120 size plane but have heard that the build up and instructions are lacking in quality.

i'm looking for a decent arf that will take a .91 4-stroke to pull it, something around a 45" to 54" span. i really like the looks and size of the nitro plane, if anyone has faired well with it, pls let me know. or if there is a better arf out there that i should see, i'd greatly appreciate it..
The instructions are poor, but I would hope you would not need them for much, otherwise this may not be the plane for you.

Some of the hardware must be changed out and you should re-inforce a few areas as with most ARFs.

Otherwise it's a decent plane considering the price.

It's lighter than it's predecessor so I have no problems using a 1.20 Surpass Pumped engine in it.

The .91 may be too small for it though.
