I am really looking at the Ultimate as my next plane -

My question is how does it do 3D - hovers, harriers etc...... and is the DA 50 up to the task?

another question -

I have always been a big fan of the ultimate biplane - I have had 2 CG ultimates - the wildhare seem to have a slightly different top fuselage profile - it seems to have a curvey profile around the cowl - what I always liked about the CG ultimate is the straight line profile from the canopy to to cowl - from the pictures on the website it looks like that profile has a bit of a curve - as if the top line of the fuse/cowl curves down a bit to the spinner - it maybe because of the trim design and the photography....

does anyone have any pics of the profie they can put up???

thanks in advance.....

I don't have an answer about the 3D, but the DA50 is more than up to the task for this Ultimate.

With the WH Ultimate we did take a few liberties with the fuse shape to make it look better (at least to me it's better) but also to make room inside the cowl for a decent muffler.

So many Ultimate designs have such a cramped cowl, you end up almost destroying it to get the muffler in.
