Wondering if anyone has a Seagull Ultimate with a Saito 125. If you do, could you show a picture of the cutting on the cowl. Thanks...

Hi,

There is some pics here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_47...ltimate/tm.htm

I no longer own the plane or I could a few close ups. This is all I got.

Thanks for the pictures. May I ask what happened to your Ultimate. Any advice on my maiden flight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I put 10 flights on it and sold it. For style of flying the plane was to heavy for it's size. If you are a sport flyer this is a good combo. I am just accustomed to a better power to weight ratio. The maiden on mine was uneventfull. I had the battery in the front mount location and this is the right spot with a 1.25. I tried the battery in the rearward location for flight 5-7. I am talking about the tray behind the canopy in the turtle deck. It flys with the battery back there but not as well. It was on the verge of being tail heavy. When it would aile roll for example it would waffle around a little when I stopped the roll. With the forward battery location the plane just stops after a roll, as an Ultimate should. The guy I sold the plane to still flys it. I kept the 1.25 and he put a GMS 1.20 in it. He wanted a good sport flyer that would hold a knife edge the length of the field. He got one.

Thank you for the reply. I am waiting for the weather to warm up so I can fly the Ultimate.

I maidened mine recently and I found the low-rates specified in the manual too low.

See my post http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=8347767 for details

good luck

Good point Kevin. I did not use low rate on mine. I have had several Golgberg ULTs though and low rate elev is way to low.
