Ray,

I moved up to the Ugly Stick from my trainer in July. You are gonna love it! You know you are ready to move up when you are able to grease your landings on your trainer. Everyone is right, it goes where you point it. It doesn't come back to a neutral flight when you let go of the sticks. Also, I had the controls set too high when I maiden my stick. Do yourself a favor and make sure the control settings are set up low. You will enjoy flying the stick. You will be able to cruise around the wind so much easier. Landings are hotter than you will be used to. But not a big deal, it floats in , just not quite as much as a flat bottom trainer.

Have fun with the stick. You will not want to fly that flat bottom trainer after flying this bird.
