I am confusing my new D.C. Ultimate with my C.G. Ultimate. My CG didn't have tail wires either. I hammered it! I had every surface cranked as far as it would go. My new D.C. has hard points for wires and I will use them, as the whole back end is nothing but balsa.

I found a neat trick on landing.

Have you ever watched the way a Navy pilot lands on the carrier?

They are constantly "waving" the elevons. I tried this with the Ultimate and it comes in beautifully and slow.

It almost stalls but the ailerons are still very functional. Does perfect 3 pointers with very little roll out but the wheels just kiss the runway.

I think this could be a good third plane. It flies so easy. But can get radical if you want.

Lot's of fun!

All this talk has got me amped up to finish my new one. Just one 80" Cap in front of this to complete. Darn the bad luck

Hey you know a fun trick? Try this. pull a vertical up line, like the hammer head, then just as it comes to a stop hammer it all the way around, then tail slide. Lots of fun and safe to do as you've got plenty of altitude. It was a lot cleaner once I mixed out the coupling.

Hope you have as much fun with yours as I had with mine

Happy flying!
