UGLY STIK TIPS:
1. When handling the Ugly Stik it is recommended that you do so only from the leading
edge of the wing to avoid wear to the edges of the fuselage. The Ugly Stik by design
has flat sides and hard edges to the fuselage, edges that are vulnerable as painted
EPO. Over time these edges can get worn down if handled so it is best to try and avoid
handling the UglyStik by any surface other than the wing.
2. It is HIGHLY recommended to use a piece of foam or sponge behind the battery
when installed in the fuselage to keep the lipo from sliding backwards during flight.
3. For optimum flight performance and model longevity it is highly recommend that you
always fly with a balanced prop. This is especially true with the Ugly Stik as a badly
balanced prop can damage the dummy nitro engine and electric power system of this
model. The supplied prop should be balanced, but it is always good to check first. If you
replace the propeller with your own choice of prop, please be sure to balance it
beforehand.
4. Flight packs of 25C discharge rate or above are recommended for use in the
UglyStik to ensure optimal performance in flight and from the power system.
5. Keep all leads within the fuselage area as tidy as possible. Tidy wires not only look
better, but also allow for easier access to all internal components, better battery
installation, increased airflow around electronics and a reduction in potential electronic
signal interference (noise).
6. Inspect the propeller and mounting nut/bolts frequently, especially if you have
suffered a hard landing or the prop has been knocked. If the prop is in any way
damaged it must be replaced and any loose fixings must be tightened.
