Thanks guys


Im not 100% sure what actually caused the fire on the last Ultra Flash, but i suspect it has to do with the smoke system which was just newly installed before the flight on which it lit up. I think i might have had kinked/squeezed one of the smoke fluid tubes between the wing and fuse when bolting the wing on, and the pressure caused one of the lines to pop out of the Festo T fitting. The fire was already going on takeoff inside of the bypass, however i was not aware of it until i pulled vertical, and at the same time my rudder servo pulled left .. I straightened it out, but the rudder kept twitching. I did not know why , but i landed immediately .. (Plane actually lands better full of fuel , lol ) as the jet passed me on landing, i saw the fire in the rear. The moment it stopped rolling, the fire broke out through the rear fuselage. Melted wires ended up shorting the batteries out and this caused another fire up front.

I'm going to definitely be flying this at Farview I just have to squeeze out some more time to get it all rigged up quickly


Visibility is no issue. Unless the sun is low and behind you , any jet really becomes just an outline. My CAI Raptor gets far and small really quickly, and i have never had issues. I like dark colors better also because they are less likely to blend into a cloudy sky .. As for this flash, the bottom has yellow trim, as opposed to the red on top ..
