Ok, so i got home today at about 5ish with my new Ultra Stick 60 ARF...

About 10 minutes ago (10:45) i finished up the construction, all i have to do is linkages and put the rx and battery in...then balance...

Thats like 5.5 hours of building I pretty much went step by step (well, i read through the instructions first, and consolidated the epoxy stuff to one sitting basically (well, 2, the tailwheel mount had to be done after the vert. stab had set)

I wasn't rushing it or anything, and ive read through the manual again after to make sure i didnt miss anything...and i dont think i have

That just seems to have went very quickly...

You have to slow down, you have gone much to fast! This airplane will obviously fly way to fast, if it built so quickly! Sorry I could not get to you quicker, before you made the mistake of building much to quickly

Haha....funny

It will probably be fine .... maybe part of it is that ive built a kit before this (havent finished it yet...got tired of working on it for now) so i know what to expect...I still have probably 3 hours of work to get it ready...then have to break the motor in...

I built the .40 sized Ultra Stick, The hardest part was folding a 3/4ths inch wide strip of covering in half, so I could seal the hinge gaps. I used the flapperon version, instead of the separate flaps/ailerons. This added a whole new dimension to this plane's use. I crashed my stick at the end of last season. I will have another soon. If I had a .90 four stroke, I'd go with the .60 size, like you did. I'll power mine with my new O.S. .46AX.

I found the UStick to be a great airplane, easy to fly and assemble. This ARF is of extreme high quality and I have nothing but praise for it. I think the .60 sized is even better that the .40. I could see myself always having an Ultra Stick as a knock-around plane for everyday flying. I hope Hanger 9 keeps producing them!

It took me longer than that to program the radio.

Thanks

How long can it take to bolt an engine on a park bench??

I'm just finishing up the assembly of a 40size Ultra Stick and I'd guess I don't have more than 4 hours in it.

It's an awesome ARF kit. Sucker comes with a HUGE assembly manual that has sections in the back that give a step-by-step on how to program your radio the best way for the model!!! And it's separated into different radios!!! Got all the JR models and some others... amazing.

I knew it was a deluxe kit when I was sorting through the parts after opening up the box, and found that the fuel tank was already assembled.

It's the first Hangar 9 I've gotten, but I promise that the next ARF I get will probably be another H9.

Usually takes me quite a while to put ARFs together, on most modles I swap the hardware, reinforce landing gear area, and firewall....and whatever other improvments I feel I can make. I'm just finishing up a Hanger 9 sport cap that I've had for 3 years, lol I always seem to get side tracked with other projects.

I've built the Hanger 9's Ultra Stick .40, FuntanaS .40 and the P-40 Warhawk. I felt all were excellent! Nothing but praise for the company. I also love building kits and from scratch, too!
