Latest update on the Ulitimate. It's darn near done! I have a busy life so have to fold it in as I can. Basically all that's left is to hook up the top ailerons, check the balance, and set the control travels. I did the range check today. It's little different that 72Mhz but pretty straight forward. I've added some photos.

P.S.
I should mention something about the instruction booklet for the benefit of someone who has never built a plane - or even an ARF. It is very detailed in some areas and some other areas are almost completely not covered/illustrated. For example, on mounting the cabane, there are 4 10mm screws which go into the fuse side. From the fuse side to the cabane holes is about 20mm. There's no way you're going to get those screws in without some kind of tool. I happened to have a "spider" which clamps on to the screw and then I could insert it and set it. After that I used a screwdriver. After I mounted the L.G., I couldn't get the cowl over it. It didn't take long to figure it out but this was never mentioned/illustrated. I could see by a photo that they had done this. I believe "inconsistent" would be the best description.

On the plus side, all parts fit very well and are logical. If you have some building experience, it's a nice build. I didn't have to do any re-engineering.
