Bank Yank,
I can only say one thing about the Weeks Solution. If it is anything like the Solution "X", you will never want to fly an Ultimate again!!
Gray Beard,
Larry Katona @Precision Cut Kits offers 3 different size Weeks Solution X's. There is also a man in Ohio who actually bought all of Miles Reeds' designs and sells kits of the entire Solution series plus a few others. If you send me a PM, I have a copy of his catalog that I will be happy to send you.

RE: Weeks Solution 120 size. Anyone built one??
Hi. Thanks for the offer but that is how i got his number from a pdf catalog floating around on rcu.
I spoke with the guy who has all the plans for the weeks line of planes. He said the 120 size will fly fine with a 1.20FS. I have a OS1.60FX that has been looking for a plane so i asked him about this set up again his reply was the plane will handle it well but is about the biggest engine he would put into one. He also said the plane handles about the same as an Ultimate just a little slower and more graceful doing maneuvers and it will land slower then the Ultimate. I have a friend with a Solution X and i can say from experience flying it that is the Solution 1.20 flies anywhere near the same it will be a p***ycat to fly.
For anyone interested the builders kit includes the Plans,Instructions,LG,Canopy and cabane wires(pre bent) and also a wood list for $60.00 plus shipping. His email is

Hey Squirrel, Well I flew the Weeks today and I have to say it is awsome! It worked out just a tad nose heavy but I can move my batterys back to take care of that, but even a little nose heavy it is a very smooth flying bipe. I am truly grateful for your help. I know that I will be flying this one a lot, but I will have to take time with my other bipes, I have 12 of them.
Thank You, David ( Twistman #113 on the Ultimate Brotherhood)

Even PCK has been out of business for a few years. If you joined RCU in 04 then the topic of CG must have come up enough times for you to know about the on line CG programs. They work great and are idiot proof. Give them a try some time.

Hey David glad everything worked out for you! I cant wait to fly mine but have a few things to do first. It is an older build and I would feel better upgrading the servos and putting a new tank in it. I also have to make some connectors to connect the top and bottom ailerons. I kind of have bad luck with bipes but hopefully this one has no problems.

I'll let Bob K. now. He owns it and REALLY knows how to cover. I'm teaching how to put it through it's paces. I did a string of 27 rolls, Bob counted, w/o much up/down needed. It snaps and spins very well.
These are well balanced planes.
I'm more into classic (ballistic) pattern but is fun to fly an IMAC bird.
