Default Mini Ultra Stick PNP

Mini Ultra Stick PNP, what grade would you give it ? I am looking for a plane to try some more advanced maneuvers.
My parkzone Corsair and t-28 just don't cut it.(tened to stripout servos) Any advice on a next plane?

I have the standard Mini Ultra Stik, not the PNP. It is a beautiful flier, like most Stiks. The nice thing about the PNP is that just about everything is there. I have read that there have been problems with the motor in the PNP. It seems it is an unbranded 450. I use an EFlite 450. Other fliers use the EFlite 480 for more power and vertical performance. Mine has 4 Hitec HS82 servos and an Electrifly 25AMP ESC.

That is good to know because, i have a 480 motor in my parts, I was not sure if it would fit or if any mods would have to be done?
What about the ARF? I have heard good things. still cant make up my mind[sm=confused.gif]

It is a blast to fly, but yes the motor died on mine, but Horizon made good on it. It is a really good second plane to learn with, yet still something that is fun to fly even after you have several others. I have the Eflight 480 on it now with 11.1V, 2100mAh batteries

It's a very quick-building ARF, also high quality. Mine is two years old going into its third season. It's the kind of plane you can have in your car ready for flight at any time.

I think bigger planes are easier to fly, especially in the wind, so another thought is the next size up Ultra Stick 25e, or a profile 3-D plane if you don't want to just fly in circles.

Then I would get your original choice  The Extra's and Edge's are more like your 3rd or 4th plane.
