OK. I can see this listed on the Central website, but when I look at Chief I see a 140FZ with no 'Sport' in the name and it is $580.

This is why I am confused. What gives?

ME too. I wonder if the pictured engine in the above response is a "stripped down" version. Not to slight YSE, it is my own ignorance. The prices are comparable(YSE 140 "sport"-vs-Saito 180)-However, I do own 1 other Saito and I LOVE it. I have a Saito .56 on a Hangar9 80' Cub, and that is one of THE most enjoyable planes that I have.

Hell!, I know, I'll e-mail the MAN himself and see what he's got to say on the subject. brb

Nothing YS sells is "stripped" down. According to the importer it's an FZ, renamed. I don't think the FZ's will be sold as FZ's from now on.

aahhhh nuts, they closed at 4. Oh well

I didn't think so, but I was curious what dropped the price $100

Yes, I know this is not the "for sale" forum; but some of you are looking. I have a brand new Blue DP 1.20 due to arrive tomarrow (Wed). I won't even open it. I ordered it and then found an absolutely gorgious one to buy already done. I am tempted to keep the one I ordered, but it's a lot a money to have tied up on a spare. I think DP is currently out of stock. I will sell it for $385 and pay the shipping if any of you are interested.

I have one of these although mine was built from a kit. It fits in my JeeP Cherokee with the back seat down and I carry my Dave Patrick 40 size on top of it resting on 2 boards suspended between the windows of the Cherokee. (never go to the airfield with just one plane) I think either of the planes will more then satisfy you. I power my 54" Goldberg with a Webra 1.20 and it is twice the engine needed for that plane but I kinda subscribe to the Tim Taylor line of thought on power. The little Dave Patrick is powered by a Saito .72 and does a good job as well. The planes are different size but I prefer the Ultimate for the look of realism it has in the air. Both are capable of doing any manuver you can come up with and either one lands easily but the Goldberg mushes quickly on deadsticking (probably due to the big engine up front. I think you will enjoy either one but the 54" Goldberg definately has a bigger WoW! factor. It always creates a crowd when I fly it.

STLPilot I saw your question about the Blue ultimate. I still have mine in the box. But it looks identical to your red one except that were yours is red, mine is blue.

Right ... but I just want to see some pics of the completed thing. Outdoor shots. I have seen so many ARF preassembled shots. Not one completed.

That the DP is a pain to take apart and put together?...


Lets say to fit into a hatch back car? ..

It's easy. 15 minutes. Plus you get inside everytime to check your wires and get tight screws everytime. There are only 2 nut and bolts, the rest just bolt straight in.

It goes together clean.

Although it has a rather large tail section, hard to get into a hatchback.

I put mine in a Jeep Wrangler. The wheels are straddled on the seats, nosecone to the dash, tail in back. No back seat. Wings are hung across roll cage with ropes. Fits perfect.

The person who has must be lazy then...
LOL Thanks you...

Nah. I know Ron very well, well at least via email and a large purchase I made from him. He just loves the DPU so much that he doesn't want to risk scratching it. Face it, taking it apart and transporting in pieces is DEFINITELY going to raise the hangar rash percentage.

Ron is very meticulous.

I am talking about my buddy Marc LOL

Roger, but Ronreg, has told me time again that he refuses to break it down to keep it clean. Believe me I would also if I could fit it. They are so pretty. I am not going back on what I said before about getting inside, but if I was confident enough about my planes, which I am not, I would transport it whole.

:devious: :spinnyeye

But ... to go back with your first comment.

No it is not difficult to break down and build. Unless of course you are going to build yours with flying wires across the wings.

I take my wing off every once in a while when I want to take more than two planes to the field, but I try to keep mine together as much as possible. Once the components have had a few flights and the parts that are going to vibrate loose do so, then there is very little that will change inside the plane. This is a very simple airplane and there's not much to go wrong. Either way, I'd say mine gets a good interior inspection every couple of weeks which is more than enough for this plane. It's just so darn easy to take it out in one piece, fly, clean, and take it home in one piece. I love my Ultimate!

Do you love this plane?

I just bought a new in the box YSE 120 Supercharged engine for my ultimate for $300.00. I thought about getting a Saito 180, but now I don't have to notch the firewall and this engine is perfect (according to Mr. Patrick) for this plane.

My buddy is working on one now.

Holy cow what a plane.


I order mine next week.

Wait till you see how much p*ssy you get with that plane. Ever since I got mine chicks just can't keep their hands off me.

And the blue one ... whoa ... dude you are going to have to put bars on your doors and windows to keep them away.

The DP Ultiamte is one sexy machine.

My wife will not like the woman all over me LOL. DAMN

That brother aint lying!!

Gotta love those student nurses
