Sure turned out nice...I'm not sure I've ever seen it flying, have you not flown it in a while?

I've got a Seagull Models .90 sized Ultimate ARF, that's been on the shelf for some time (didn't want to say years) that I need to put together :oops:

I flew the Ultimate Saturday . I put it on my Taranis radio and I forgot to program in dual rates and expo. The first flight was a handful, I had too much travel and no Expo and the trim was off. I reprogramed the radio. The second flight went a lot better. It still in one piece . :oops:

Kelsey,
One of the modeling magazines just did a review of the ARF GP Ultimate.....I think it was November issue of Model Airplane News?
