- I don't own an Ultimate [yet :) ], but I've seen several at our field
- and I must agree that a .61 will fly it, but a 1.20 4C will take it

- One of the nice things about living in Chicago is that once and awhile
- Dave Patrick (VP Goldberg models) will give a talk at our club and bring
- along one of his latest creations. When the Ultimate first came out
- he brought it along and one of the questions was: Will a .61 fly it?
- His response was: Yes, in fact his initial testing was performed using
- a K&B .65 Sportster (I guess a sort of lowest-common-denominator
- type test). He did mention that for the type of performance you would
- expect out of the Ultimate, you should use a 1.20 4C.

- is bringing along this time. Date is Feb 16 @ 7:30 p.m. at the
- Downers Grove, Il. VFW on Belmont Ave. Stop in if your in the area.
