E-flite Ultimate Bipe from Horizon Hobby, where to find info???
E-flite Ultimate Bipe from Horizon Hobby, where to find info??? I've searched RC Groups off and on this afternoon and I've come up with very little. Is this plane so bad that no one posted on it. Please don't tell me that, I just bought a used one from a friend. At least I though he was a friend!

I personally don't have the plane, but I'm sure with the right setup, the plane should be just fine. It looks a lot like the ultrafly bi planes which seem to get decent comments. Get some Hs-55 servos and that may help with speed. You may even consider carbon pushrods if they're not already included to reduce slop. backyard flyer review
also a review from rcuniverse eflite ultimate ep There are also a couple of threads that I found about the plane on that site, so do a search and that should answer questions that you have Hope this helps ![]() |

---PB 909, In both of those articles they don't mention the fact that there is a severe roll coupling problem that needs to be programed out with the Tx. That's why I read the reviews with more than a grain of salt. The 55's are in other planes for now, need to order more and some 56's. Good thing I quit smoking, my RC budget increased 41 days ago.
---chopped, I'm running a Typhoon 6 and TP 2s 1320's, marginal at best but I have a Hacker A20-20L, just need the right size 3s batteries. Good thing I quit drinking, my RC budget increased 41 days ago. ---emnm, Already bought the plane, flew it in the wind yesterday evening, need to buy some smaller props. Well there goes my steak sandwich for lunch at the club. That will help with my diet for all the weight I've gained in the last 41 days. ![]() ![]() ![]() ----------Bill |

emnm, What cells were you running and how many? I was going to run A20-20L, 10x4.7,"a" TP 3s 2100 Gen 2 ( burnt up my others this summer, it's still +/- 100 degrees here in the afternoon

I had this plane. Park370+gearbox eflite 20A, TP 3s 1320, 11X6 prop, GWS Pico servos+Gws 6Rx. I had to brace the nose a bit because of torque. But other than that it was great (well, landing gear stinks too). This was my first aileron plane, as well as first flat foamie. After a few flights I was comfortable enough to fly it in 10mph winds. Learned how to hover+khife edge with it. Mine did not have that much coupling. If you can already do 3d, you should be better off than me. I dumped it so many times learning that it was half ca and epoxy after a while. But I think it's an all-around good plane. I had servo arm extensions all around, so mine had much more deflection than stock.

---emnm-Thanks for the info.
---Downwind-Thanks for the url. ---Hugequark-Thanks for the info. My last plane was a Straight Edge 3D and it went from 10 oz. to 12.5 oz over the last few months. Epoxy may make for quick repairs but the weight adds up quickly the way I fly. ![]() --------------Thanks, --------------Bill ---By the way, whose going to the next Az Elect. Festival? |
