Default Whats the perfect size ULTIMATE?

P-40E WarHawk
My 30% ultimate arrived yesterday from bob godfrey, they have pre cut the fuse sides for 2 degrees of positive incidence. With my Dave Patrick running 1.5 of positive this must be something that is really needed on a ultimate. Hate for you to go thru heart ache with out it.

They are using flying wires on everything so that they could make the parts thinner. The wings, tail and rudder are foam. All of those parts are very thin. I would guess it will only be about 3/8 of an inch on the fin, tail, rudder after sheeting. We are talking very thin so wire are def. needed on this deal. The wings are of a 4 piece design. The wings will not have any sheeting in the middle of the foam and will run cap strips this is a new one for me. The plane has some good hardware like skylights wheels and things that I will actually use.

I love an ultimate so I have been trying to give any feed back I can to make this process go as painless as possible.
