Default RE: ultra stick as a second plane

Build it with the 4 servo wing... as long as you have a radio that can do all of the mixes... I had a US60 as my second plane, as well as a new Futaba 9C that I hadn't used prior to that plane.. Just be methodical about it, try one new thing at a time, and you will have a BLAST with the US.. If you have a radio that can do "butterfly" or "crow" mix, you will really enjoy it.. Take the plane up to 4-500 ft, chop the throttle, point the nose straight down with crow on (Flaps full down/Ailerons UP) and the airplane will almost slow down coming straight down.. it's really cool.. flair and it will land 10-15 feet past where you stopped your vertical decent.. Plus the 4 servo wing allows you to do elevator to flap mixing for VERY tight loops, Short field takeoffs with flaps.. etc, etc, etc... There is just soo much more that you can do with this plane if you build it with the 4 servo wing.. And the best part is you don't have to use it all at once.. take your time.. you'll love it..
