Default RE: Newbie Help for Ultrastik 40

We just maindened our with a TT GP-42. This is a bushinged engine. We will be upgrading to a Aviastar .53 soon, but the plane flies nicely with the TT-42.

You don't need to go nuts with power on this plane. Just move your current engine over until you know what you want out of the plane, then look at what you want for an engine.

We did not go for the quad flaps. This decision was based on conversations I had with members of our club. The plane is relatively easy to land; it just glides in, at least with a GP-42 and a 10x6 prop. We will fly again later this week with an 11x4 or 11x5 to see what it is like.
