Ray,
I moved up tp the .40 Ultra Stick for my 3rd plane. I loved it. In fact I liked the way it flew so much that I got the Ultra Stick Light 1.20 soon after. That flew even nicer with a G23 gasser on it.
I agree with everyone here. The stick is a go where you point it plane. If it is setup right, you can do some amazingly quick axial rolls, and it flies upside down just as well as right side up. You'll get there soon enough. Just have your instructor check it out on its maiden flight. It can be a handful trimming it out with those large ailerons.
The main thing is have FUN!!!
You'll like it!
