Hey all, first post in awhile. I've kinda been outta hobby for a few years, but I just got stationed down in Pensacola awaiting flight school, and have lots of time on my hands waiting for class to start, so I started building my Ultra Sport 40 kit that I've had sitting around for 10 years now!!

Ultra Sport .40, OS .46 AX, JR Radio. Conventional gear, 1 aileron servo, painted canopy. Maybe go to a tuned pipe later. Love the speed :-)

Started on it Friday morning, and I'm making great progress so far. Here are some pics.

also, first time to a hobby shop last week. There was not a single kit in the store...all ARF's...is that the case at the fields now? Is everyone flying ARF's? Hopefully people are still building...it's so fun!

Ok, I'm pretty far along in building it now, but I am starting to doubt my decision to use only one aileron servo. With the OS .46 AX engine, I'm guessing this plane is gonna be fast. I am considering retrofitting dual aileron servos and cutting out the hardware for the single servo setup. Any reccomendations here? Also to anyone that has done dual servos, where is a good place to mount them, and a solid method.

When I was at the decision point, I considered the pro/cons for awhile, now I'm starting to think that anti-flutter mods might offset the few extra ounces.

Thanks.

Looking good. I rebuilt mine after I smashed it up pretty good about 12 years ago. I've got a Fox 50 in mine. Flys ok. I think the CG is a little off. Will rebalance. I am only using one aileron servo, but I would go with two if you want. Are you building the trike or tail dragger?

I'm building it as a taildragger, I think they just look better that way. And your covering job is awesome. I like the yellow. I'm still contemplating the dual setup. I wish I had done it to start with, now my debate is whether or not it is worth the work to build it in there. Also, still haven't come up with a good way to mount them...gonna haveta brainstorm a little.
