Ultimate AMR testimonials

This Ultimate looks better than anything I have ever seen.
I suppose that may be because it is my first PA product.
It sure won’t be the last!

The engineering and workmanship are incredible.
Thanks to you and the PA team for a great product.

You guys nailed it good on this one!

After 5 or 6 flights I started to lose my ‘New plane nerves’ and began bushing the AMR lower and harder.
I am amazed by it’s 3D capabilities, and was equally impressed when I tried Low Rates for the first time today and found it to track as good as any pattern ship I have ever flown! Simply amazing!

It was a little windy-er at our mud bog, er, flight site than I wanted but I can’t say it affected anything too much. I’ll need a few more flights to dial the mixes for KE and she wanted to climb inverted but nothing that affected my fun for the day.  I certainly didn’t ‘wring’ anything out the way a pro might…but the tumbles, harriers and the semi-intentional hovers were fun to me.

I have 1 other bipe so didn’t know what to expect from the AMR when things got slow – no snapping and definitely easier to land by a large margin.  Have I forgotten anything?

I love when maidens go like this – clearly the Green version is the best one, so apologies to those that went slightly astray on the color choice.

I’m just an intermediate beginner but need to say this. Just maiden my PA Ultimate AMR this morning and it’s great. Use iPAs setup mostly as recommended by PA, and Flightpower Evo 25 2170 battery and Hitec 65hb servos. Amazing, no CG adjustment needed to fly well for my ability. PA recommended putting ESC and elevator/rudder servos on left side so I thought in maiden flight I may need to trim aileron more to right. But no, it tends to bank right in its maiden flight, so have to trim left. Better follow PA recommendation for no guess work!

Overall this bipe is a must-have! But then again this is my first PA and first bipe.

This is my first PA plane, definitely not the last.

If you like me enjoyed planes like the Extra 260 or the Katana MD, then you will absolutely love the Ultimate – an even wider range of flight performance  with no extra cost for batteries. You can plug in your existing 3S LiPo packs and get maximum fun. No hassle of charging different type of batteries which require a specific charger set up, etc. Personally I use my PA 3S 2200 mAH 3S packs for hardcore 3D fun with the Addiction, the Extra 260, the Katana MD and now the Ultimate AMR. One type of battery does it all. It is not only extremely convenient but will safe your money, too.

And like with all PA designs, if you follow the recommended set up, you can concentrate on the one thing which matters most: Having fun! No need for endless flights to find the right combination of thrust angles, CGs, control throws, etc. Maximum Performance and maximum fun straight out of the box!

PA has really upped the ante with the design of AMR this time and the more I fly the AMR the more I am falling in love with so much so that I am immediately putting an order for a second one. This is certainly a long-term keeper for me for sure and I can already see that this will be my new hot favorite for quite a while.

To some the AMR may appears superficially pint size but as the saying goes “It isn’t the size of the dog in the fight that matters but what really counts is the size of the fight in the dog!” I certainly have no doubts that the AMR with it superior performance has all the potential to challenge and beat many of the good 3D/freestyle giantscales out there. Pint size it may be but this midsized Tabasco is huge in aerobatics performance.

I now understand why PA chose “Bipe With The Bite” as the AMR’s slogan and from its capabilities I have seen so far, the AMR certainly has THE bite and right now, this pintsized bottle of Hot Tabasco has not only bitten the tail off the competition but has in fact, already torn them to shreds.

I will give a standing ovation to PA for, in my humble opinion, producing one of the best designs I have ever come across to date; a total synergy of form and function transformed into a beautiful engineering art piece that provides unlimited aerobatic flexibility for anyone behind the sticks. It certainly lives up to its name because like its fullscale counterpart, the AMR has in fact done considerably more than just delivering. Scale looks, superb finishing, unlimited performance, simple setup, easy handling, robust and all that at reasonable price. What more could anyone ask for? Probably a second one I suppose!

If I am ever asked to write a slogan for the Ultimate AMR, I will have to say, hands down it has only to be PA Ultimate AMR: The ULTIMATE Ultimate!

Can you believe it! The Ultimate AMR was the first plane I flown, I have been flying Rc helicopters for 3 months when I started to develop a taste for RC planes. So I got my self a beautiful red Ultimate AMR, It’s hard for me to follow the rules, as you can notice, but tried to stick to the manual when building it, I got the iPAs package, I didn’t need more problems..

“You were more stressed the first time you flown that helicopter than when your son was born”, my wife once told me and yeap, I confess, it was true, only difference my child was handled by professionals. So I have to say that this morning was the second time that had happed. The plane was not trimmed, as far as I know it could have out of alignment ailerons, reverse channels, had up for down, gremlins, for all I know the thing just could ignite on power on. All this was checked the night before, but it’s called first time phobia. As somebody said to me once, fly it as if you stole it.
It was a cloudy morning 3 to 7mph wind, pushed the throttle pull the elevator and off it goes, tumbling up, but never the less up…
Oh boy!, Oh boy!, you can imagine the feeling, most of you have done this, I put it straight an level and started to trim one click in ailerons two or three for elevator and another for rudder, but that last one was hard to get right as I did had cross wind, switched low rates and … OH MY GOD this is so much fun, I finally know what you all have been talking about, it handles different in real life than in the simulator hard to explain but all together wonderful. I flown it for 2-3 minutes simple circuits and then started to practice landing approaches, calculate the landing speed, and what not, then it finally happen, the timer reached the end of the first 6 min and it was time to land, dark thoughts where crossing my mind at the time. I had setup flapaileron just in case, and started to make final approach, it was starting to get windy and the plane started to show it, then after 4 months in the simulator practicing landings, definitely this is not the same, it’s has a wind thing to it, I finally now know what it is, I landed safely, and then it hit me, the rush, the joy and a relief, the unmistakable “Let´s do that again” feeling.

And so I did 3 more times in fact, I was doing loops, rolls, claiming way up, drop throttle and let the plane fall, then recover, if somebody would had told me a newbie could do that on it’s maiden, yeah right!, but then all was nice until the last bit of flight all of a sudden I lost power, 8 min later in the flight that is, I forgot to restart the timer on the transmitter, I was coming down, had downwind and a drained battery so I resign and started to pray, I knew I couldn’t fly around and do a proper approach I was too low so I had to land in that situation, started the descend hit the flapailerons and down she went, I have to say it was the nicest landing I have ever done.

Is the Ultimate AMR an nice plane?, heck yeah!, it’s so well build and haves all worked up for you, even a newbie can fly aerobatics.

The gods smiled in Colorado and there was zero wind at the field – an extremely rare thing.

I warmed up a little with the foamie and then it was Ultimate time – this thing really flies great. It didn’t feel like a maiden at all – a couple of laps and then I had the thing down on the deck in harrier and pretty low in hover. Slow speed flight characteristics are fantastic with this thing! I let some people at the field egg me on and gave them a nice blender into an inverted flat spin. No problems there, so I put it into an extremely violent knife-edge spin. Man, you just jam both stick forward and it does the rest! Even got the thing to torque roll a time or two in it’s maiden flight.

its SMOOTH WILDNESS

Great job PA, awwesome plane

I’d been thinking about a PA for quite a while, almost picked up the Katana MD. When the AMR came out I was in love with its looks. After holding back a while till I saw the user feedback I finally picked up a Red AMR. I love the pitch authority, just insane KE spins. AMR is also very well behaved in slow flight. You really have to work or do something stupid to crash this plane, which I managed last weekend

I put a good dent in the lower wing and broke its back just behind the lower wing. I thought it was done for sure but taking a look I was not as bad to repair as I would have thought. I’ve just about got her back together and we’ll see if she still flys this weekend. If not a Blue AMR may be my next RC purchase

only space left to be even cooler is a big ultimate.
cant express how much i love the small one.

As it happens I picked up an Ultimate AMR second hand from a local flyer. Probably wouldn’t have spent the retail money to try it out but luck was on my side. And wow, am I a PA lover now!

She’s great at subtle scale loop & roll maneuvers as well as pushed hard into wild knife edge spins, blenders, hovers and the ever impresive waterfall spins. Every time I put her up at the field I get complements on my flying and how she looks in the air.

But the real plus is the way she’s put together. I’ve had to replace the motor box twice (due to my errors) and I really appreciate the ease and relative low cost it took to do so.

Over all she makes me glad to own her, makes me look better than I am then urges me to try new and harder maneuvers each flight.

So I’m excited & glad to be an accidental Ultimate AMR pilot!!!

Peace,
D-man

A lot of people think that PA planes are overpriced, but If anything, they are UNDERpriced, you get such a great design with all that lovely CF and high quality parts, its a bargain!!!

I have had a few other balsas in my time, and while their appearances may be somewhat similar, that certainly has no impact on the flight characteristics. My ultimate is SO axial in every manouver, and SO locked in, so much so that trying to fly any other similar class aircraft is a kind of torture.

I look forward to flying my ultimate every week, and it is a great way to unwind after a stressful few days

so far: ~230 flights, 26 hours on the airframe, zero crashes, zero repairs, and one HAPPY owner.

Nuff said, I am a PA man now, its hard to believe the hype untill you actually get your hands on one, but my word they are great!

The blending of these factors has created RC models that are not only beautiful, but literally seem magical in performance. My AMR biplane is a graceful bird capable of the most aggressive aerobatics, yet lands as softly as a feather. The Addiction quite simply is more fun to fly than anything else I’ve ever flown, seen at airshows, watched on video, or even dreamed about.

If I could keep only two of all my score of treasured RC birds, they would both have been made by Precision Aerobatics.

It’s a simply gorgeous airframe
The instructions are near perfect
It goes together *perfectly* no gapping, forcing, etc. needed
RAW, FREAKIN’ (literally, I was Freakin’ it was SO fast) POWER with the IPAs setup.

I’m saving my pennies for an Extra MX now!

My first flight was with my Electric Shock to warm up on, if you aren’t warm after flying the Eshock you aren’t breathing! Anyway I wanted to move onto my Extra 260 next, building to the AMR, but one of the guys at the field had to go and wanted to see it before he left. So AMR it was.

Flight 1: It’s all good I don’t really get nervous on maidens anymore so I relaxed, did my pre-flight checks, range checked and was ready. Throttled up she rolled for about 5 meters and was up. The manual says she will need a bit of downtrim, due to aerodynamic drag of the top wing, well it was right, and a few clicks of downtrim had her flying well, except for a couple of aileron clicks as well. Then it was straight and accurate. I did a couple of snaps upright and inverted, some rolls and all was very good. Then I went for a hover (up high eh it’s a maiden) and it was sooo easy. Some Rolling harriers and finally an airframe integrity test, otherwise known as a full throttle blender! WOW!!! CRAZY! Oh yeah did I mention the unlimited fasssst vertical climb outs. Phew what a maiden, then, low rates and lined up for a greaser landing.

Then I had a quick streamer combat flight and a rockin flight with my Extra 260 before back to the AMR.

Flight 2: Thoroughly warmed up now and ready to rock. The AMR is by far the best plane I have had!!! And I can say this after only two flights. It is so accurate and rock solid in the air it’s ridiculous. It is the easiest plane to hover it just locks straight in and on this second flight I had it hovering 10 feet off the deck. Rolling harriers had a huge angle on them and I was able to slow them right down. Knife edge is eeeasy (I had programmed in the recommended mixes in the manual and they were spot on) so it was high alpha knife edge and knife edge half loops. By this time I was laughing my head off as I was flying it was that much fun. The knife edge spins are ridiculous tighter than tight over and over and over. It was just awesome.

This is a DEMON plane!!!

Most impressive is how easy it is to control this plane in a physically small flying environment, it slows down so well and I am sure this is going to help take me to my next step as an rc pilot.

Many thanks to the guys at PA, great job.

Power delivery is nice and smooth and it’s quite easy to fly. It looks absolutely stunning in the air. Great fun and I’m sure once I put a few more packs through and get used to the handling I’ll start throwing it around.

I just got my red Ultimate AMR.

I am amazed with whole process. I am trilled how perfect everything was:

1.    Perfect delivery (one week from Australia to Canada, BC, Vancouver – after I paid via PayPal)

2.    Perfect Packing

3.    Perfect Kit Design

4.    Perfect kit production

5.    Perfect kit covering

6.    Perfect attention to details – I checked the kit and nothing, absolutely nothing was missing

I will be your frequent customer and I’ll advertise you and your products whenever I go around BC.

Keep Up your excellent work!!!

Best Regards from Vancouver

It is simply amazing, perfect size for transport without removing wings and jaw-dropping performance.

If I ever do learn any 3D (With a FOAMY first!) I’ll hit high rates and it can do it all, but even as a sport flyer it is phenomenal.
It will obviously do anything I’m capable of, including greasing in those landings.
I only flew it a couple times today, the “maiden,” and one followup, after increasing recommended low rates by 15%.
Both times I was able to make a nice slick landing. Paved runway for the first one, and a high alpha onto the grass for the second.
This thing will land unbelievably slow, with zero bad tendencies. I had a feather light touchdown into about a 1 foot roll.
Made me feel pro
(I’m assuming nobody noticed my knees knocking. First time I’ve flown a $nice$ plane in about 6 yrs.)

Anyhow… yeah, I’m glad I was swayed into a bipe. I had always avoided them like the plague.
This thing rocks.

Cheryl called me to verify this is what I wanted (it was not) she helped me get this order right and answered all of my questions and needs in such a courteous and professional manner, I felt this letter was in order!   Not only do you sell the best model aircraft on the planet, you also have top notch employees and support crew like Cheryl !

Keep up the Good work,

in a timely, accurate fashion as you did.

This tells me that PA understands the value of good customer service. I will

definitely purchase my next aerobatics aircraft from PA.

Cheers,

Sincerely

Today I had another “Precision Day”.  Another amazing maiden and what I can tell is going to be a love affair with my new plane.  After 25 years of building and flying about every kind of plane, I have now again topped them all.  Two weeks ago, My new Ultimate AMR (my son and I both have one)  surpassed my wildest expectations and I though it would be tough to beat.  The Ultimate now has over 50 flights and the Katana has two.  What strikes me the most is that in all of the materials you hand out, your sales process at the Toledo Weak Signal Show, and your manuals tell a story of “precision” that almost seems to good to be true.  Well….you have another believer and promoter.  I would love to help you in any way I can to promote the planes in my area.  A few of our local hobby stores have yet to discover what the true value in your planes really is.   Nothing I have ever flown compares in any way to these two great machines.  I am going to stop with the praise right now because I will start to sound like a paid spokes person(Just a RC Pilot from Canton, Ohio)……..please feel free to add my comments to any materials or your website.  You simply deserve this praise.  My new Katana took off and needed one click of elevator trim and flew absolutely perfect…..I see why it was named Aerobat of The Year by Model Airplane News.

A special thanks to Cheryl Widner…she has been amazing to deal with and has taken great care of me…….

A special thanks to Shaun for working with your team to demand that these planes surpass anything I have ever flown…..it must take enormous amounts of research and work to create such wonderful machines…..

Shaun..now that my planes are “proven precision” I do have a few helpful suggestions if you would like to call me and discuss.

My hats off to all of you…….
