DP Ultimate Weight?
Ok guys I just finished my 120 Ultimate and weighed it on some digital scales. 12.2 pounds with a YS 120 AC. JR 811's on the wings, 4721 on the rudder, 8231 on the elevator, and a Hitec HS 81 on the throttle. A PCM 327 RX and a Expert 1500 NMH battery. The only things I added was Sullivan metal control arms and a JR charge switch. The 16 oz fuel tank is on the cg. APC 16-8 prop with a Dave Brown 3 1/2 ultimate spinner and one of the DP ultimate tail wheels. Everything else is what came with the kit. Did I just get a heavy one or is this about the weight that they come out. I haven't flown it yet but with the AC on a steady diet of 30% Pro-Heli I think it will have enough power for normal flight but it will lack some in the torque rolling department. Give me some feedback if anyone has flown with a set-up simalar to this.

RE: DP Ultimate Weight?
No you got a normal one. As I remember mine weighs about 12 lbs 5 oz with an OS 160
Im not sure you will have torque rolling power but Im sure you will enjoy the plane. Everyone that has flown mine thoroughly enjoyed it.
