Skydude,

Is it easy to fly. Basically, yes. But it has a pretty big "pucker factor" because when you are all done you will have about $1200 invested in her. Also, if you own this thing, people expect you to fly really wild and crazy to show her off. The proper thing to do if you get one is to take it slow and don't do things with her that make you uncomfortable. I have found, that on low rates, she is very docile plane with no bad tendencies. Actually I've found no bad tendencies at all. I have yet to have her try and snap out on me or stall badly when landing.

My Ultimate has a Saito 1.80 in her and flies great. I also have a blue one I'm going to build and put a YS 1.20 in just to see.

Actually if you want a plane just as nice for a little less investment, get the Goldberg Ultimate. It is in between a .40 and a 1.20. I also had one of these and loved it also. It was also designed by DP. Some may argue, but I think it flies as good as the DP and is made just as well. You will need an OS 1.08 2s or 1.20 4s (OS or Saito) for her to fly awesome.
