Wow I think I only used eight feet of run way if you call it that. What an incredible plane. Super roll rate. With that saito on it low throttle is very nice. I cant believe how nice this plane flys!

Got to play with my US 60 again today. I love this plane! Got the flaps dialed in which took a little doing but those Leap Into The Air takeoffs are insane!

I won't be buying any Hangar 9 stuff, unless they send me a new Ultra Stick .60. See I was flying the other day, and I was doing a inverted loop, basically the backwards way. The wing went POP, plane came screaming down and went into trees. The engine took little damage, broke one servo. Either way, plane did. Wing snapped in from where they join, wood was completely ripped out. The pop was very distinct, kinda sucked too, plane flew well on a .61 FX, ah well we shall see what they say about the video, yes I got it on video
.. Just gotta send them the parts and video. But atm, not a very firm supporter of Hangar 9.

Yup your right in some ways. That kit needed reinforcment where the wing bolts and dowles went into. That was very shotty constuction, what may have even doen in your stick. Landing gear block, horizontal stab too, need to put a few dowles in it. Most every art is goingto need something. Im just really suprized hanger 9 let critical disign flaws into the works! Thats where these forums are so increadible, if I haddent read any of this I may have missed one of these and crashola Id be down a plane.
