Hey: You guys know me from the group and how this year went and know
that I have finally soled. My question is what do you think of the
Hangar 9 Ultra Stik for my next plane to be flown maybe mid next summer
after more flights on the trainer. Do you think my OS 91 will be enough
power. I here that it will soon be offered in a kit form and I think I
would like to build a kit next time instead of an ARF. I only asked you
because you opinions are the only ones I trust. K

Ken,

The Ultra Stik is a good choice. Search Deja for more information on
some modifications that should be done. I've been flying mine for two
years.

The model was assembled to test a new OS .91FS I had purchased for a
Cap. Right now there's a YS .91 on the nose. I'm going to put a OS
.70FS on it soon and give it to the wife.

Great handling plane. If I were to do it over again, I'd put a Cap
type rudder and elevator on. : )

I think there's a little confusion here...the Ultra Stick will start
shipping for the first time here in December. You must have the Super
Stick, if you've had it for two years.

My opinion is that the .60 sized Super Stick would be a good matchup for
your .91, as well as an excellent second plane. (Any Stick is a good 2nd
plane.) The Ultra Stick recommends a 1.20 as the minimum engine. Sure, a
.91 will fly it, but there won't be much "Ultra" about it, except maybe
ultra slow, and ultra scale-like, and ultra lead behind the firewall.

If you are so impressed with the advertisements about the capabilities
of the plane, but don't want to buy a new engine, then get the .60 size
Stick, and modify the ailerons. Split them, using larger ones for flaps,
and install four servos in the wing. You just might need to enlarge the
rudder--notice that the US has a large Cap-like rudder. You'll just have
a Mini-Ultra Stick, then. See, you can have your cake and eat it too!
