Default RE: Ultra Sport 40 Kit Bash

Got another short hop in on Sunday.

Had an issue with the muffler coming loose though. Same thing happened when I started breaking it in, next time I'll use some loctite and that should solve the problem.

As far as the handling goes I couldn't get much more testing done but so far the role rate is very impressive, much quicker than either of the other ones. So far I am very impressed with how easy it lands, had some strong 90 degree crosswinds and it didn't seem to notice them very much. Slowed down really nice and just settled in for a very nice 3-point landing.

Still have to dial in the CG, I think I may be a bit too far aft as it seems to mush through turns but other than that I'm very happy.

I'll see what I can do about video as I don't have a camcorder but I'm sure someone else in the club should.

More flight testing to come.......
