Take off is a breeze. It's the only tail dragger I've seen you can gas and go. It has so much verticle surface area
with the big rudder and wing strutts it's no problem. The one Im flying now is ST.90 powered. I roll it 20 feet at full power and point it straight up. You should have more grunt with yours so it should do the same. Dont fret the landings. I've flow a few warbirds and it's very simular. If anything the ULT is more stable because it wont tip stall. The wing loading is lighter than most war birds it just has more drag. I don't blame you for going ARF. If you look at my pic it's an ARF. I also have a Pizzaz,Tiger 2 and GEEBEE all ARFs. Not that I'm rolling in money but it's easyer to find money than time at my place.\
If you get north on a Sunday come fly with us. later daveo
