GP Ultimate 40 Kit

[Michael V]

I have a picture to share.
I am lucky to have made a friend of Richard, We met last year at WIMAC and despite our age difference we get along well I believe. As it turns out I work at the dealership where he has his car serviced and so I have given him some advice on his car. In return I have the use of his vase knowledge of Model airplanes. He is building for me a GP Ultimate Bipe 40 and I saw it for the first time this afternoon. All I can say is WOW, It looks great. Very well built!
We still have to install the fuel tank, canopy, and build the cowl. And then cover it and install all the electronics. I hope to help with this stage of the build.
So here is the picture, I will get others as the build goes.

Thanks Richard and Jeanette

Hello I have received the Ultimate from Richard.
And have installed the engine, engine servo and cowl.

Cannot wait to fly it!

By the way
Do you see the wooden wall hanger's I have for my planes and wings? My brother made them for me at his work. He can make anything, any width, length and it can even be engraved with the plane's name.
Cannot be making many (he is doing this at work) but if you are interested we can make some for you also. You would, just have to pay for materials.
