"No Name" Ultimate 120
Hope someone can answer... . I am building a CG 10-300 kit. It will take a while, so I thought I may as well find an ARF to play with while the CGU goes together. I decided on a YS110 for motivation.
While trying to find a 60 size ARF, I read a review here on RCU on the World Models 120- Ultimate. It seems like a fine ship, and can use a YS110. The going price was $329.. While researching ,I found a "no-name " 120 knock-off for $200. The specs are real close,but...... The no name is PINK!!!!!! lol..
Has anyone flown this thing??? I know You can usually say,"Ya got what Ya paid for".. Is this the case??? Can the quality difference be that much??? A friend of mine bought a Pitts from one of these companies before, and the picture showed that both wings had ailerons.. He recieved one with ailerons... on one wing only, so You can see why I question the picture.
Thanks in advance.. MonkeyGutz . ps.. If it flies well, I can live with pink.. :-)

RE: "No Name" Ultimate 120
I can't directly answer your question, but I fell in love with Chip Hyde's cover choices on his pattern plane, "Scandalous":

The pink gives it part of the character, and really matches the name! Man, I want one!
(EDIT: But at an average $2K - $3K just for comparable ARFs, I don't actually want one that bad.)

Cap'n, here is the link.. I should have posted it from the start...sorry.

After much late nite research, I think I have found the mfg of the "no name: Ultimate..It was listed on the AK-Models website.....
http://ak-models.com/ultimate_120.htm
I hate to start a new thread asking if anyone has flown the AK Models Ultimate 120.
It is such a good price, and it should fly with a YS110. I am just really worried about the quality issue.. Thanks for any help..
