The quantity and lengths of servo extensions can get
complicated depending upon whether you want to mix all four
aileron servos electronically, or mix them mechanically with
Y-harnesses, and whether you plan to remove the wings for
transport (then, you’ll want a servo wire connection from the
top aileron servos alongside one of the rear cabane struts that
can be easily connected and disconnected). The instruction
manual illustrates both two aileron servos in the bottom wing
only and four aileron servos in the top and bottom wings, but
for both options all the aileron servos were connected into
one channel with Y-harnesses as listed below.

Glow Engine & Accessories for Glow
The Ultimate is suited for a .46 – .55 2-stroke or .72 – .81
4-stroke. Because the engine is side-mounted, 2-stroke
engines require a Bisson Pitts-style muffl er:
❍
O.S. FS72-a 4-stroke with muffl er (OSMG0877)
❍
*O.S. 46AXII 2-stroke with muffl er (OSMG0548)

Brushless Electric Motor
The electric setup for the Ultimate is straightforward: a Great
Planes ElectriFly RimFire .55 on a 6S battery in the 3800mAh
range with a 75A ESC. Propeller selection depends upon your
preference and fl ying style, but we preferred the APCX 16 x
8E (full discussion on prop selection on page 32). A Castle
Creations Edge Lite 75 is also recommended and illustrated
in the instruction manual because it is compact, durable,
programmable and features data logging. The discharge
wires from the ESC require lengthening to reach the battery
and order numbers for the wire are provided below.

LiPo Battery Charger
To charge a 6S 3800 mAh LiPo at 1C, a charger capable of
at least 95 watts is required (6S x 4.2 V/cell = 25.2 V x 3.8 A =
95 Watts). The Triton2 EQ is just enough charger with 100 W
output AC and 120 W output DC (GPMM3156).
