Default RE: Ultra Stick Lite ???

bigal422. I have the 110 on mine, its a Lite 120. I only use two wing servos, and I moved the rudder and elevator servo to the tail for balance. Mine weighs exactly 9lbs 0ozs and it wasn't really hard to get to that weight. In fact I have 2 HS5645 metal gear servos in the tail and 2 Futaba 9001 in the ailerons and a Futaba 3004 on the throttle. These aren't exactly light weight servos. I used DuBro Super Lite tires and everything else is stock. Oh, I did use Central Hobbies carbon fiber pushrods to stiffen the controls. The 110 flys this plane wonderfully. You don't need any more power. I can hover this plane easily with massive pull out. I use a APC 16x6 prop. I use 30% heli Cool Power fuel, YS loves high nitro and, get this, I fly at 4800' elevation. Vertical is truly unlimited. And this plane will do a great upright flat spin. It lacks elevator and rudder for real great 3D but is extremely aerobatic anyways. It lands so easy it's silly and it's big enough that it's great in windy or adverse conditions. I really like this plane and setup and could recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone. Nice airplane.
Thanks,
Barry
