Never had a Dragon, yet a friend had one which flew and landed great, but in my opinion construction was heavy and lesser quality, none of them is pretty, I find the flash to be less ugly, had 2 classic flashes and currently have an ultra, landing is my worst skill, and find the ultra to be super forgiving, actually have never had a bad landing with it (snapped the two classics) if an ultra snaps, it has the wrong CG, this actually happened to the first owners who used the factory CG, once CG was corrected problems went away, yet you cannot allow deviations from this CG
