Introduction
Important
Before beginning construction of your Ultra Stick
™
40, decide which wing configuration is best for you—the conventional two-aileron
version or the quad flap version with two ailerons and two flaps.
With the conventional two-aileron wing, the Ultra Stick 40 is an outstanding sport aircraft. This configuration offers excellent slow
speed and stall characteristics that allow even inexperienced pilots to feel at home. Plus, it offers aerobatic capabilities that will have
your flying buddies drooling. If you’re using a 4- or 5-channel non-computer radio, the conventional two-aileron version is your best
choice.
To get the most out of your Ultra Stick 40, we strongly suggest using a 6- to 10-channel computer radio and building the quad flap
wing configuration. If you’re relatively new to flying or aren’t totally confident about your abilities, don’t let the quad flaps scare you
off. Quad flaps can actually make your Ultra Stick 40 easier to fly!
Quad flaps allow your Ultra Stick 40 to perform in many amazing ways that just aren’t possible with an ailerons-only equipped air-
plane. With a little practice, you’ll be able to use crow mixing to do amazingly short landings from high altitudes. You’ll do takeoffs
within the length of the fuselage with takeoff flaps, high speed rolls with aileron-to-flap mixing, and super-tight loops with elevator-
to-flap mixing. Plus, you’ll have fun learning about your computer radio and its capabilities.
Don’t miss out on all the possible fun. Build your Ultra Stick 40 in the quad/flap configuration. If you’re a bit intimidated about all of
that programming complication, we’ve provided an easy-to-follow programming guide in the back of this manual that will walk you
through every step of the way. Whether you own a JR 6-, 7-, 8-, or 10-channel computer radio or a Futaba 8, step-by-step instruc-
tions make programming easy!
