If you want an Ultimate, look at the World Models .40 size. It is a great flying airplane, all usable hardware, good support from the distributor, etc.

While the covering scheme may be similar, it is not the same plane as sold by Nitro Planes.
I will second this motion. The World Models version is a lot better. It was my first bipe a few years back. The only negative I have on it is as with all World Models... Toughlon Covering is horrible stuff. But every WM plane I ever bought flew very well... I cannot say the same for the other manufacturer (I mean distributor).
