When they released them a few years ago I bought two. I built one and had a elevator servo failure and lost it. I have the one kit left. I guess if I build that and crash my Ultra Sport days will be...

I don't know for sure, but I would think most ARFs have their own technique for building, which isn't like kits, but something they can do quickly and with less weight. But that's just my guess. I...

This may sound cliche, but I don't think there is such thing as an ugly Ultra Sport.

I have made some pretty detailed graphics with the windex method. I have a Tiger head on a 4 star 40 with tiny pieces of monokote trim that haven't come off in a few years of flying. Using the...

I’m pretty sure I had/ have Dave Brown retracts on my old 40.
I built the 60 and bought the retracts that were designed by Minnflyer from this board, and were sold through 3DX hobbies. They are...

I still have my old/first/original Ultra Sport 40. It is from the mid to late 80s. I had been flying for over 10 years by then. Every plane I had owned up to then, had been in a minor or major...

As far as flaps. Before mine crashed due to an elevator servo failure a couple of years ago, (yep, it really wasn't pilot error this time)

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

I think it's a good idea to use something like the Ultra Sport to try new ideas on. like the liquid sheeting. If you mess up, you're not out thousands of dollars and you still have an airplane that...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

TJ,
I don't think you will be disappointed with the performance. I thought mine seemed heavy with the retracts, two aileron servos, and the Big SuperTigre 90, but I don't think it affects the...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

One of the reasons many of us bought the kit after it was reissued, rather than the ARF or some other sports plane was because we like it the way it is. They got it right the first time. I...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

Carving a canopy shouldn't be any different, or harder than carving the wing tips, nose and belly pan, which you have to do anyway. By the time you finished those you would have the techniques down. ...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

Just an observation, if you are painting the inside of the canopy it doesn't matter if you are using gloss or semi or flat paint, it is all going to appear glossy through the plastic

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

For Gosh sake, don't cover it Pearl BLue or Metallic Teal. I have a one of each, a SuperSportster and an Ultra Sport. Those colors make the planes look great on the ground, but they are invisible...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

I have 90Âş retracts and there is no way just by looking that you would know they aren't straight down. 85Âş would look very obviously wrong. Even though you can see the dihedral, it appears to...

RE: *** Ultra Sport Brotherhood ***

Yeah, I love coming up with different designs when I cover planes. SInce I discovered the WIndex method of cutting the Monokote, it opens up a lot of possibilities.

It’s a SuperTigre G90. ...
