A power pack 3D plans?

I've recycled my A power pack electronics from my first FT Mighty sparrow 3 times now. I started with a sparrow, then a mighty mini corsair, and a commuter. now I want to build something 3D capable. I have a C powered Bushwacker, but I was thinking of building something that can be flown in much smaller areas and perform true 3D flying. I was thinking of doing a smaller version of the FT3D, but I figured I'd see what's out there for plans. last time I took out my toys a couple guys were flying a profile fuselage biplane that they simply called "the Ultimate". searching doesn't come up with much other than the huge E flite Ultimate.

Any Ideas or plans are greatly appreciated!!

Someone just asked to fly my v-tail at the airfield and he did a whole bunch of 3D stuff with it, he said the only issue was hovering because the v-tail created some dihedral effects. He asked if I could draw up plans for it. So I am going to probably work on that this week.

I did some bench testing with a 6x3 prop with 3s 650mAh battery and got around 400g of thrust. My v-tail is 230g AUW (putting the power to weight a but under 2:1).

it can definitely be done. If I was to make it a true 3D plane, I would probably use a normal inverted T tail and perhaps bring the wing width down to 24" (it is currently 30") and try to get the wing, thrust line, etc more in line then what I have.

Pieliker96 designed a profile foam board 3D plane that uses power pack A. Apparently it can be built from 1 sheet of FB.

I know this is a little late, but I may have found "the Ultimate" you were looking for.
It looks like it's made of 1/64" ply and Depron. I found a 25" and a 30" version, as well as the "Ultimate 10-300-3D" on Aerofred.

The 3d one says it's a 3 channel plane, but the plan has ailerons as well rudder and elevator.
