I've been flying this really bad ass ultra stick for 3 years now. I use only the best equipment. I'm talking bling bling here folks. Genuine futaba 3003's, a 128 and a 148 in there. Yep I like to mix it up for variety. Two of those servos have even had the wires spliced back together. Ive got a well abused ( ahem...I mean used) OS 46 FX on the front to give this baby hovering power at 95% throttle. Oh yeah, we're talking serious punch out power here. I didn't want to skimp on electronics either so I used the good stuff: 600mah flat nicad and a hobbico volt watch. And in case you're wondering, the receiver is top of the line too. I'm talking a futaba 127 picked up at Toledo for $40. Thats right, the good kind. PPM technology. I was goin' to run duals, but I know that this one is such an awesome piece of mid 90's manufacturing that I figured I could trust it.
To top out this envy inducing setup, I have added a really nice dubro prop nut. You know everyone is using tru turns but hey, anybody can get $50 spinner. I went with the luxury dubro model. Everyone should spoil themselves sometimes.
This has pretty much been by high school plane. Lots and lots of hours, and in all honesty TONS of fun. No pressure, easy to haul and actually quite good at precision flying. I've ripped the gear off (first flights with no reinforcement), had the tail snap off trying to do the hardest wall possible, cracked the wing hold down on both sides, torn the firewall loose after hitting a groundhog hole, smashed the LE on a limbo pole at a funfly,landed it upside down, the list goes on. Each time I repair it and keep flying her. Don't be jealous, someday you will be able to afford one like mine
