Since the Boxxer looks to be a unseen date for re-kitting, How about the OMP Ultimate 10-300??. I really was looking forward to the Boxxer build but It's going to be the Ultimate for now.

How about some pictures to getting me fired up and give me covering & building ideas.

JPK, the Boxxer should make the date posted on the OMP site for being available. I spoke with the part cutter last week, and all is progressing well to get another batch of kits done.

That would be great matchless, I'm a little while away from going bonkers for a new build, I still have a large float project to finish also. Just want to be prepared .
Did you do any mod's or is it the same as your first ??
I'll wait if it's a month or so. I like the Boxxer size and engine requirement...

Dion...I sure did, Spacey always builds a awesome rig. The Boxxer size (OS 50SX) is really what I'm looking for. But then again.............

Spacey

Uhmmm...well I don't know about awesome but they do all fly?

Now for comparing the Ultimate and the Boxxer I don't know if it's quite a fair one. Nothing against the Boxxer but if I had to choose between the two I will definitely take the Ultimate. I like the Boxxer but the grace and stability of the Ultimate is simply amazing. I do think alot of it is because of the size difference between the two. The Boxxer flies well for its size but I still can't get mine to do it all. Knife edge and so on it does very well but so does the Ultimate. The Ultimate is better at flat spins IMHO and the fact that it can do inverted, upright and rolling harriers seals it for me. Also the Ultimate's kit is designed a little better too. I like all the laser cutting that's been done on it and like I said in the review the fact that the Ultimate's control surfaces and feathers only took me 40 minutes to build made the kit a real joy. Final assembly on the Ulti was easier too. Much easier truthfully.

Now to be fair the Boxxer was an easy build and it flies well for sure! But I would rather take another Ultimate if I lost both and had to pick one. Good luck on the decision though! You won't be dissapointed with either one you choose.

Sending in a couple pics of my 10-300 in the bare bones. I was planning on this being a winter project but it went together so quickly I'm gonna have to build something else this winter LOL I've honestly been working on it an hour or so a few evenings and in two weeks I'm ready to start covering

Comparing the two is easy. The Boxxer is by for the most superior 40 size bipe bar none. And that includes any regular fatty out there. Believe me, we've seen them all fly and nothing compares to teh Boxxer in that size. Same can be said for teh Ultimate as compared to 60-90 size bipes. Both are extremely capable airframes which can 3d better than anything in their class. So really it boils down to what size you want 40 size or 90 size. If you want 40 size, the Boxxer is WELL worth the short wait.
