Default RE: My Ultra Stick Flew..Kind of..

Hello Ralph,
I was pretty shakey on the first few trys. This plane was my first venture back into RC after a 20 year layoff so it's kind of a sentimental thing, I've been flying it for over 3 years now and it has a gazillion flights on it. I'm really happy with the floats Ralph thanks again.
As far as the thrust, it's a straight shot No angel. I mite just need a little, very true.. On land it pretty much just runs down the runway and jumps in the air. But on the water I was pretty much forceing it into the air with power. I can add or take away hight real EZ. I'll try going a Zero incidence as jrf said and see how she go's with that.
I was silly thinking the water would'nt get up inside and get to the servos, I have (HAD) a pretty good gap under the wing and I'm sure it was splashing up in there when I was doing Mach 5 runs on top of the water. LOL..... It will be much better next time, I did some water prevension work.

Keep ya posted. I'm giveing it a try on saturday with the Mod's.

By the way Ralph after I get the bug's worked out of this one and get my water wings down better I'm eyeing a few of these Cessna on floats. Any ideas on a good combo ?
