I just started flying my 60 Ultrastick with an OS 91 4 stroke. I just love it. What a great airplane. Now I want another. I have an old, very heavy, 120 Ustick with a converted 30 cc Homie that is pretty lite and has good power, but did I mention the airframe is VERY HEAVY, and it flyes that way. Now I want to get either the newer 120 lite or a 40 size. If I get a 40 I have a Saito 72 for it and if I get the 120 lite I will probably want to use my Homie 30. What do the contributors of this forum recommend, 40 or 120?
Thanks

Bigger is better ... hehehe ...

I started to purchase the lite but after looking at the specs, I decided against it as if only offers a 75" wing apposed to an 79" wing.

You decided not to buy it because of 4 inches? Why would you do that?

OH well myself, I was looking for something I could travel to big birds with that would also handle a gasser. I elected to go with the World Model SS60 instead, converted to a tail dragger. Won't handle a 30cc though it comes in at just over 9 pounds with an OS 91. I guess if you beefed it up it might handle a small gasser, I once saw a person put a saito 180 on the SS60.

I have the Ultra Stick 60 running an 0S 61FX and love the plane. It is my third one of the same size. (Don't ask) I also have the Ultra Stick Lite in the box, but am just trying to get money back in my budget for the Zenoa G26 and the servos. Once I have the money, I am going to move the servos to the tail. There is a great thread on this on this site. Some great pics as well. I figured I have plenty of 40 size planes and I plan to use the Lite as a move up toward the bigger scale aircraft.

I would get the Ultra Stick 120. I wouldn't be happy dropping down in size. Go big and throw that gasser on it. It should be a blast!

If you want a great combo go with the US lite 120 with a G26 gasser on it. I started it in the AM and was flying in the PM!! Flies great, and is very durable. Landings are incredible stable. Its a big plane too - the wing is like a barn door and very easy to see once you put some stripes on it. search on my name (desertpig) and look for the threads that have the USLite on it.. there are many detail pics and some good discussions.

I fly all day on a one NiMh battery and $2 worth of Gas !
