RE: What will you do to stay at the field to fly?!?

Yep,
It's a CG Ultimate with a YS 110FZ using Wildcat YS 20/20 fuel and it's turning an APC 16x6 prop. Mods were done. On book low rates it's a great big p$$$$y cat to fly, go to high rates and man can it get wild. High rates are 45 degrees on the rudder and elevator and 35 on the ailerons. Lows are set to half of high rates
Pull-Pull on the rudder
Elevator servos moved to under the elevators
Tank is stock but right on the CG
Elevator and Rudder servos are HS-5645 digitals. HS-5245's in the wings with upgraded solid carbon fiber interlinks
Battery is a 2400Mah 4.8 with a digital monitor in the canopy and right on the CG under the fuel tank
This thing is a dream to fly, Honestly there is only one click of elevator trim in it. IMAC schedules are a dream to fly and basic 3D stuff is good. Does inverted flat spins on idle and very slowly loses altitude and any power it will start to climb. Normal flat spins are the same. It did have a bad pitch and roll coupling in Knife Edge but that is mixed out in the radio. Knife edge loops are possible with rudder management otherwise it will fall out at the top.
You ought to see it do a Lovemcak (spelling may be incorrect) It will kick the tail around about 4 times then hang on, it starts stalling on the wing tip and man does it get violent in a hurry. If you leave it go it will transition right into a knife edge spin but it will only recover if you go to idle and stop the spin with the rudder. Letting go of the sticks in this manuever is not an option, you must fly in out.
It did take me a little while to get used to orientation and since I added to avatar, I have added diagonal stripes to the tail and top wing, all pointing towards the engine.
I am just about done with a CG Sukhoi and it's getting a YS110FZ also, I hear thius thing flys well and all the normal Sukhoi bad tendencies have been engineered out.
Why are you thinking of selling yours?
