WOW you guys, The Ultra Sport 40+ is no pattern plane, The original IS but the 40+ is completely different. It more comes in to be like the Extra or Giles type plane. Great flyer but a touch beyond a second plane IMHO It has huge control surfaces and flies like it is on rails but only comes as a kit as far as I know but a nice build and not too complicated. By far a much more aerobatic plane than the SuperSportser and boy does it knife edge well, Unfortunately better than I because I dumb thumbed it in a knife edge and plan on another sometime soon. Hear is a pic from when I was breaking in the engine and almost finished covering it. and the red one is the orriginal, I found the pic on the web. It has a longer tail and the canopy more forward as the pattern planes do. Don't get me wrong the SS is a great plane but the two are in different leages
