My Ultra Stick's maiden-day was very successful! Only two beeps of down trim and it's flying straight and level! The 1.60 gasser spinning the Menz 18x8 really pulls the plane around nicley. With a slobbery rich mid-range it still flies straight up, seemingly as fast as it flys level, at about 1/2 throttle!

I am running an MVVS tuned pipe on my engine, with the servos in the tail (Hitec entry level digitals, 5475s??) the 1700mah battery pack ended up living right in the middle of the wing bay, along side the fuel tank. I added 3/4 oz of lead to the engine mount, and 2 1/4 oz of lead to the left wing tip, to couter-balance the head and pipe hanging out the right side of the fuse. This combo flies nicley, fast or slow. Landings are very easy. I am really looking forward to spending some quality time with this airplane over the season!
