Ken,

The Ultra Stick flies BETTER Than a trainer! That's why I posted it here Sure it flies different but BETTER! Guy was looking for suggestions... I gave him one.. Not sure why that was so off topic but ok.

Where's your suggestion? All in fun
It may fly better than a trainer. I have flown one and I agree with you that it does fly better. But it doesn't TRAIN better. All of the things that make your Ultra Stick BETTER to fly make it a very poor trainer. I've been training students for 6 years now and IMHO a "go where you point it plane" usually makes a poor trainer, no matter how slow it will land.

It was off topic because the Ultra Stick isn't sold as a trainer. You posted your opinion that it would be easier than a trainer and that was fine. But it started to look like all you wanted to do was talk about your Ultra Stick, and that's not what this thread is about. You are more than welcome to start another thread if you want to talk about you Ultra Stick, but not here in this thread.

Yes, you are right that I didn't post an opinion. That's because I didn't know off of the top of my head any that would fit what he was looking for. But I'll still watch what goes on in here.
