I've flown both my Ultimate and my Skybolt for over a year and am pretty familiar with 'em. Mine are definitely not sneaky flying airplanes. They don't have any bad surprises. I've had a number of flights on OEM Skybolts and maidened one Ultimate for another guy. And flown that Ultimate later on to help the guy try and find out "what was wrong with it".

The OEM Skybolts fly great. The owners have told me that I fly mine too slowly on approach and to be careful of theirs. I am. And theirs seems less accurate. What would you expect. But they fly great. I just feel mine is better. And I know it has less tendency to tip stall if you need aileron at low speed. Considering they've got one wing with it's ailerons more than 10% different and the other side with a 25% difference, all that makes sense. But keep in mind, the accuracy in flight is a subjective thing and low speed isn't usually a problem. It's lowest speed that is. So you don't see what you don't do. And the OEM Skybolts fly great. As most people fly them.

The OEM Ultimate is also a good airplane. I've got a backup in the box for when/if the first one ever bites the big one. But you can bet it'll have none of that OEM rigging when it's built. Why go to the extra work to have less?
