Default RE: Nexstar to Ultra Stick

hey,
you'll love the ultrastick! they will fly very slow even slower than a trainer. with flaps i have flown backwards in a breaze. do a search on this site for mods to make in setting up the arf ultra sticks. i love mine but they need a little help in certain areas such as reinforcing wing hold downs and firewalls. i cut a tank hatch in mine to make tank fixes easy as well, also reinforce the split horiz stab a little in the joiner. but do these "fixes" without undue weight additions. i just used micro balloons and CA in the fuse and a little carbon fiber and ca on the stab... oh yeah reinforce the LG block as well.( use plastic bolts for mounting your LG. resist putting a motor on that is two heavy and it will balance with the gear in standard location. take A LOT of care to see that it is well balanced lenghtwise and wing tip to tip. have fun
