The Ultimate started as a replacement wing for the Pitts S1 design and built by Gordon Price (Canada), by which he tried to improve it. The Ultimate wing ended-up providing two extra G in each direction by additional flight & landings wires at the rear spar as well as a much faster roll rate of 360° vs. 180° of a standard Pitts S1S, by significantly enlarging the ailerons. Then, Gordon Price decided to build a fuselage around it to lessen the football appearance of the Pitts which were costing points in lack of proper judgment at aerobatics contests.
The aircraft D-E_HW is build by Heintje Wyczisk and started January 2020. The goal is to certify and operate the aircraft under experimental category. The construction pages you will find under the following Link.
