Ultra Stick's fly nice and easy at least the ones I've seen at the club.
If you have been flying good for 8 months I would think you should
do good on the maiden.. Just make sure all is set correctly with the
transmitter trims at it's center position and all surfaces moving in the
right direction... But it's good to have someone with you to help with
the trim and or watch the plane so you could do it, just incase it's way
off... Good luck and let us know how it goes
