The Flex Innovations Ultimate 70cc is a 33% scale model of Gord Price’s famous Ultimate 10-300. Starting with his Tournament of Champions (TOC) winning freestyle model, designer and World Champion Quique Somenzini has brought the Ultimate into the 21st Century. A large fuselage, short wings and airfoiled tail combine with a lightweight and strong laminated black fibre structure to take the Ultimate to a new, unprecedented level of performance.

Product Information
The correct wing loading and absolute minimum control coupling are the keys to great 3D and XA performance, and the Ultimate definitely excels in these areas. Not only does the Flex Innovations Ultimate 70cc excel in the air, but Quique also paid close attention to the scale shape to conserve the true lines and appearance of the full-scale counterpart.
The Flex Innovations Ultimate 70cc is a natural performer and with the biplane design experience from Quique Somenzini, it’s a phenomenal airplane that excels in all facets of aerobatic flight.
