Ultimate 10 Dash 200

The Ultimate started as a replacement wing for the Pitts. The Ultimate wing ended-up providing two extra G in each direction as well as a much faster roll rate. 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.

Also, the idea of an entry level aircraft popped in his mind and designed the 10-100 essentially to be powered by a common Continental O-200 (as found in cessnas 150). Provisions were made to evolve to a Lycoming O-360 by simply replacing the motor mount and modifying the cowling. That model was referred to as the 10-180 and then came the 10-200 which supported a Lycoming IO-360 (200-230hp).
About 30 sets of plans were sold of the latter.
Then came the 10-300 and the 20-300 which were respectively 1 and 2 seaters of the 300 hp family.
