nice review. I have the 25e ultra stick . Something I did wich realy works on saving the nose on a front end crash was to add a piec of 1/8 ply over the existing piec I made it identical as far as the air holes and engine mount holes, I made it just large enough to go all the way to the ends of the frame and then glued it over the old one on, it transfers the force over the hole fuseloge on impack. I have only had one chash since then and it was a hard one, the crash was hard enough to break off the prop at both ends. I did a straight in nose dive while trying to land in the wind. the plane flipped over I tried to power out but just flipped over straight into the dirt. I put on a new prop and was back flying in about 10 min just thought this would help. take care bill.
