Good job
I charged up the thread starter today, last flight back in Dec used 120mAh in one pack and 84mAh in the other (PB Sensor switch on 2 x Li-Po) just amazing!

Looks like a number of us jumped on the UF since the new schemes came out! I glad CARF listened to customer feedback and released better paint schemes.

First of the new scheme kits will arrive with me next week, looking forward to seeing it in the flesh as they always look different than in pictures.

The scheme looks great except for the Gothic font used for "Ultra Flash". I wish it was a decal.

Robert is joking about his arriving! I ordered this one way before they were announced None of the new scheme models have actually left the factory yet. Soon

I like the font! You can order without the text...

Ran out of time to do better photos today, will try tomorrow...though one of the new Extra 330SC 2.6's arrives then so I'll be torn!

Anyone with an Ultra Flash and a p90rxi. I'm looking for some real performance data. I would really like to use a p90rxi rather than carry more gas for a p140.

Again you need as much or more fuel for a 90RXi....You will be on the power much longer and that's when it drinks fuel. Longest flight time is with a P-180RX flown sports mode (not hooligan!)
P-90Rxi P-100RX P-140RX and P-180Rx you need wing and fuse tank

I loved my Classic Flash and was always tempted with an Ultra but, to my eyes, the top of the wings always looked odd and I had an inkling that it might be due to the flow direction of the colour scheme. In the end it was enough for me to rule out ever buying one. (I did try to draw up my own scheme but failed miserably [&o])

However, these new schemes look great and, to me, they have completely transformed the lines and it now looks the business. I still don't have room for one in the hangar at the moment but it is definately a contender again when I do .
