You will find the Ultra Stick 25e to be a solid, honest
sport model. It is capable of handling windy days if you
choose. Flight times with the 1800mAh Ni-MH battery will
be around 9–10 minutes. When using the Thunder Power
4200 3S2P battery, flight times of close to 17 minutes are
common. Ensure your CG is set according to the manual
and power up the aircraft. Move your throttle trim up
slowly until the motor just begins to spin. This will be your
flight idle that will help to establish a longer glide path
and tends to make landings easier. Taxi out to the runway
and line up into the wind. You will find the rudder very
effective on the Ultra Stick 25e and takeoffs are very short.
Apply power smoothly and begin the takeoff roll. Correct
with rudder as necessary and apply up elevator slowly
until the model lifts off. Once in the air, trim the model
for level flight. Once trimmed, you will find the aerobatic
capabilities are very good and the Ultra Stick 25e can
perform any maneuver asked.
Landing the Ultra Stick 25e is as easy as setting up on
final approach, lowering the throttle to idle and gliding
in to a soft three point touch-down. Go-around’s are
accomplished with full throttle and a gentle pull up. Flying
with the optional floats adds another level of fun to the
Ultra Stick 25e. Mount your floats up and ensure the water
rudder is traveling in the correct direction. Rebalance the
model to ensure the CG is correct. Lead weights have been
preinstalled in the floats at the factory to help maintain the
correct CG. If your model feels tail heavy with the floats
installed, please use a small amount of stick on weight
on the bottom front area of the floats to adjust the CG as
necessary. Once at the lake, power the model up and set
it in the water. Next adjust the throttle trim until the motor
begins to spin. Taxi out into the wind. Do this by holding
full up elevator during the taxi to reduce the amount of
water splash created by the front of the floats and prop
blast. Steer the model with rudder during taxiing.
