Cross box humpties and the like. Kinda bored with XCsliber already, and I really look forward to getting something higher quality with better rudder authority that I can toss around more aggressively, but I respect your findings on landing the Flash!!!
If you can swing it, I would look for a used Shockwave. I picked one up second hand for about the same price as building a new flash. I was hard bent on getting an UF and then I was able to fly both and I went with the shockwave. Its much bigger and more similar to the ultra lighting, but flies even better.
