Re: BIG ULTY is READY
Hey guys (Manny, Phil and Jack)
Plane looks awesome Jack! Now you just have to fly it like Jason Noll HA HA. His was unbelievable at the US Nats - totally on rails. I have a big (as in HUGE) Pitts model 12. I love bipes. Not the best IMAC plane but with smoke on it looks 100% real. Maybe we'll see you at an IMAC next year (Manny and Jack)? I am taking a bit of a break from IMAC but I'll be hosting/attending the boot camp in the spring and I'll probably hold a contest in Edmonton. I'm moving up to Advanced but I want to stay closer to home next summer and do a lot of IMAC practicing and jet flying vs. competing. I got the jet bug really bad at the end of the summer so I plan to do a lot of that next year. Jets are fun but they are not cheap, thats for sure! I sold off my IMAC birds to Ryan and Derrek - Michael Verzwyvelt in Twin Falls, ID is building me a 126" Godfrey Extra 300 for IMAC next year It is almost framed up now. Its gonna be AWESOME. 170 on pipes also... Those 14" headers will fix you midrange right up on the 170, Jack.

Re: BIG ULTY is READY
Hey Chris
I'll bet Ryan is pumped about the Yak55 which one did you sell to Derrek? I would love to see your pitts 12 in the air, whick mill did you put in her. Going to the last funfly of the year here tomorrow the Dalton 260 will get a workout with the SD yak and Ulti. All charged up .....the planes too. Thanks again for your efforts at our first IMAC here in Lethbridge, I am liking the discepline it teaches me but I still love 3D too. I finally got the down elevator maxed out on the SD yak so she goes into a knife edge spin now. Did you see the 3 point landing that Todd Bridges pulled off after ripping off one wing in TAS freestyle its on FG or just google TAS 2009 freestyle. It is the best recovery I,ve ever seen.

Re: BIG ULTY is READY
Hey guys,
My Pitts has a 3W 170CS in it turning a 32x12 2-blade. With the size and drag of this plane it is enough but not a rocket. I plan to reduce the weight a little this winter to help on verticals... but I am not taking the smoke out. The main problem I have is a LOT of vibration at idle due to the 11:1 compression of the 3W. It is bone jarring... about 2500 RPMs it seems to smooth out and disapear. I need to solve that problem somehow. Yea, that save by Todd was just amazing. And the one by Mark L too - that guy has un-human reflexes. Jack - believe me it will solve it. I had RE3 pipes on my DA150 in the 3W Extra I sold to Derrek. At 12" ont he 150 it had that same burble/soft spot and then came on like a freight train. 13" on the 150 it was perfect - 14" on the 170 will fix it for you. Also if you can find some 94 octane my 170 really likes that too. Mind you mine does not have the timing turned down. It runs so well I don't want to send it back to DA for updates (allt hey will do is turn my timing down as I have all the other changes they made.) Fun fly - I am jealous. I has been snowing here... I was hoping to get out this weekend but it is looking crummy. We are pretty much done for the season unless we get a warm spike. I've been building for 2 weeks. I am assembling a 46% Ulti for Brent Bullen (nice ARF) and I am building a BAe Hawk T1 jet in Red Arrows scheme. Primer is on and hopefully I will paint this week. The rest are maintenance projects...
