I did this mod before even flying my ultimate for the first time. It can also be done without cutting any foam. Just remove the cowl and with a long screwdriver dislodge the weights from the fuse, then pull them out of the slots next to the battery tray, they fit through mine perfectly.

I have the 1st original Ultimate Biplane from E-Flite when it was an ARF only years ago before BNF or PNP was a thing. It has almost the same color scheme. The ARF is much lighter than the BNF and a way better flyer IMO. It is also tough as nails. The ARF was 89 dollars at the time. The electronics were 250 dollars. Lol. Make Tail Heavy Great Again!

Your videos are so informative, bro. I've been learning things from every video. Keep up the good work.

[tboystoys]

Brother you got skills you’re one of the Best I’ve ever seen on you tube. 👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

There was No way I could crash my original Ultimate and when I got this one I was WAY Disappointed - Can't wait to try it with the mods. Thanks!

[HciContractor]

Hey I'm late to the party here but THANK YOU!! I've been looking for those damn weights and you made it easy brother!
I sure appreciate it!

[IllFlyIt]

My FMS Pitts also had TWO big weights in the nose. Found them after it crashed due to a ESC failure. They look the same.

Just flew mine yesterday, finally got it trimmed right and cg way better than ever, flew good even in to much wind …..haven’t removed weight yet

[ryanking]

You mentioned about unlocking rates to get 150% throw? How do you do that? I’ve just bought one and noticed that going above 100% throw on the elevator makes no difference and could definitely use the extra throw, please help aha so I need to change servos or Rx?

[flyingfools]

Do you use the metal stabilizer spar or the carbon spar for the right CG?

[MelinsRCTech]

Hi John, do you use steel rod or the carbon fibre rod on 4s after this mod?

[gisall]

Great video Jon. Have you tried programing in the Spoilerons on this thing yet. They really do work very well on the EXTRA 300 as you've demonstrated in the past.

[Phils_RC]

Really appreciate the video and does make the plane fly 10 times better! Question though, what rates and expo are you running when hovering and stick smashing? I thought I heard you switch into 3d rates at one point so figured I’d pick your brain.

[richardburton]

Do you keep the factory CG or where do you move it to? A 4S 2200 fits right between the foam behind the straps without being strapped in, is that what you mean by shoving it back as far as you can get it?

[flyingfools]

Does this plane need to cool down the motor between agressive 3D flights, or does it handle back to back flights well?

[jarrett]

Just bought this ultimate yesterday and flew 1 4S pack. It feels ok out of the box but also feels like it has weird stall characteristics(?). If I remove the weight do I need to consider disabling AS3X or does that behave ok?

[kianwong]

John i love this plane. When you fly it just make me want to buy. Just a thought, instead of cutting out the front weights, could you put weights on a slider to move the cg around as one progresses?

[MIKE-brlz]

What spar did you use on the elevator the metal one are carbon fiber one?

[mattmcbee]

Does it still fly well for precision aerobatics after removing the nose weight?

[ronnymiller]

Mine didn’t seem to fly as well as this. Did you just use the stock motor and prop? I think I threw like a power 15 and 13x4 on it. Maybe it would fly better with the stock setup.
