Default RE: Lets see your ULTRA SPORTS !!!!!!!!!!!

I had one, the ARF. It was heavy and had that 1/8'' foam covering, I use to fly
off a grass runway and it would nose over. The only way to avoid this was somebody
hold it, me throttle all the way up, hold full up elevator and then let it go. I was
okay at getting it in the air but this time it came off too quick. Stalled, I almost
saved it and it went it full throttle and cartwheeled. If it was not for that foam
covering I could have rebuilt it.

That was 10 yrs ago and I fly on a paved runway now so if they release it again I
WILL get the US1000 kit. I have heard excellent things about the 1000 and the
retracts on my ARF made it look very neat in the air.
