Default RE: Ultra Stick 120 Lite

ORIGINAL: suitcase

I've had one of the old ones and two of the lites. The old one I bought from a guy and it had a TT 3000 on it. I went ahead and flew it that way. It didn't have enough ground clearance to use the proper prop and it never sounded just right. At half throttle it sounded like a dirt bike. Anyway, i bought a G26 and put on it and it flew great,,,, when it didn't dead stick. I put her in the trees but was able to get the motor. I put it on a new Lite and flew it into the trees on the maiden. I got another one and got a couple flights in on a Saturday and went back on Sunday and my son-in-law lost it in the trees when the elevator servo arm came loose. It was MG and I forgot to loctite it. I gave up on the US 120s and got a BigBoy. After many dead sticks and damage to the BB I sold the G26, got a YS 110 and never looked back. It has scary power for it's size and doesn't dead stick.
Sorry to hear that, I'd cut those trees down.
