The Ugly Stick is one of the best all-round knock around fliers ever designed.
You will love it!!!! I always try to have a Stick of some sort handy in my hangar.
Just watch out with that much power that you don't induce flutter.
I fluttered one of mine years ago, it took about a half of a second to strip the elevator clevis.
End of that stick!
Enjoy it.I think you'll find it's easier to fly than a trainer.
