It's the start and stop that count
Steve,
as long as it's built well and you have tail wires, you should be fine. I had all my throws on the CG Ultimate as maxed as I could get them. Like your's, mine was a total blast and wicked fast. Never had an issue.
I was talking with the freind who bought it yesterday. We were both saying how no flying stable should be w/o one.
Tried any Knife Edge yet? Thats an eye opener too!
One thing I tried to do (somewhat successfully) is to start and stop snaps and spins with a touch of softness. I did this by running about 60% expo. Hard to tell in the sky it flies so clean.
Happy flying!
Scott
