HELP, mini craft bipe???
 

Guys please help me with this one. I bought this little bipe from an auction and I have no information on it. On the plane it indicates that it is a Mini Craft Ultima, which has a WS of 42 inches and it has a 38 inch long fuse. I am looking for the CG and engine recomendations. I hope the pictures help.

A DA100 should be fine....


No really, how much does it weigh? You might want to try a .46 or .50.

weigh is 5.25 pounds...

you could run a .40, .46, or .50. depends on what you want - flying or 3D... The .46 should be fine.

a strong 46 or a 50, a 61 would be too much (I'm talking two strokes).

Guys, thanks for the informationon the engine size...

Any one know what the CG or how to find it for this bird?

Hosam,

Where you ever able to get any info on the Ultima?? I just got one from a guy close by. Unfortunately he doesn't know anything about the plane. Mine has an old Royal .46 on it and Apollo 10 servo's in it. I am going to check it out extremely well and see if I can tell about where the CG is.

From the leading edge of the foremost wing to the trailing edge of the rearmost wing is the chord. Balance at 28 percent of that measurement.
