Have you guys received your shipment of planes yet? how about the Ultimate?

Also can you describe or show pictures of the motor mount system your electric arfs use/ have.

Thanks, Kevin

Hello Kevin,

Thanks for your note. We did receive a recent shipment of airplanes from the factory including the Ultimate ARF. Unfortunately during our quality check, we discovered a couple of missing parts, and have held up the initial delivery. The parts are due in house this week, and once here we will ship all outstanding open orders for this model. I'm really sorry about the delay, but do not believe it is right to ship product that is not correct.

As for the motor mounting area of our electric models, we use a plywood motor box for all of the airplanes except the Mercury (a Class 400 motor screws directly onto the firewall of the Mercury). This plywood motor box allows the normal "X" mounting plate available for outrunner brushless motors to easily screw into place. I checked our image files and could not find a really good shot of this motor box (figures that I left my camera at home today), but I did find a heads-on shot from the Spacewalker 2 showing the motor box. I'll attach it here to help give you an idea of the concept.

Best regards,
Larry King
