| BigHuckinTrick3D! ![]() | For christmas I was given from a family member an ultrafly ultimate bipe to go with my electric flight pack that my parrents gave me. Well I flew it after I got it, crashed, broke landing gear and dislocated top wing and tore off rudder (repaired), flew, had a bad lipo and lost power (broke a prop a prop), new prop and battery, flew again crashed and TORE the top wing and also TORE off the right wing trashing the right wings servo. OK by this time I am a bit fed up with this plane, It's horribly tail heavy and not a great preformer, has been repaired to the point that it's losing structual integrity and I really just want to buy a shocky and not worry about all this AND MY DAD WANTS ME TO FIX IT!!! I really don't like this plane in the first place and originaly wanted a shock flyer but I tried to like it but I just don't like it [and I want to break it to my dad that I really don't want to fix it] ![]()

| BigHuckinTrick3D! ![]() | Also I'm not that bad of a pilot this plane is just built a bit badly and unstable because of tail weight. This is the first plane I built completely by myself so I (unintentionaly) used WAY TO MUCH glue to hold the sides of the plane togeather in the back

| It's official, thanks Verne... ![]() | I'm thinking there's a lesson of "the value of a dollar" in here somewhere. Very carefully cut the rear section apart and re-glue it the proper way, that'll take care of the tail heavy condition. Good luck and enjoy!!

| Hard Man ![]() | When it gets as bad as that profile video awhile back: one wing, half the covering, missing a few control surfaces, etc... you can consider it a poor flier. Even then you could probably get 4 or 5 more flights on it. THEN and only THEN can you give up on that thing and get a shocky. ![]() |

| Bad-ass Super Contributer! ![]() | if it was tail heavy, and u knew it? Why not fix it beforehand.. Sounds like that would have solved the problem.

| Bad-ass Super Contributer! ![]() | weel i dunno about if you could now...but you could trace the plane and buy 3mm depron sheet and you would save a but load.....thats what all the guys at my field do! Believe me i just got a foamy and man.....you 'll crash them till they are dead weight .....but on the cheap side you have all the other stuff............so just buy some depron sheets and trace the ultimate and make you a new one for the cost of the depron! thats like what 3-4$ |

| Bad-ass Super Contributer! ![]() | OK! If you have learned your lessons from these series of crashes, I should say move on and get a better plane. Ask your dad to join FG and we'll ask him to give you another chance I mostly crash when I disrespect my plane from either value point of view or just getting tired of flying it. So this is what I do now when it gets to that point, I do not fly it until I sell it and get something else. Because like I said if you get to the point that you don't like your plane, you will crash it. I crashed my Extra 260 and I knew I was going to crash it the day last day I flew it. Ask your dad to give you another chance and get the plane you like but respect it and fly it good.
