I still fly a 60 size Ultra Stick. It had an old OS91 Surpass that I burned 25 gallons through it. Replaced it with a new 100 Saito and recovered it. I first ran it as a 4 servo wing but when recovering I went back to a 2 servo wing. It still flys great!
used to keep superglue close for minor prop cuts, works surprisingly well actually. make a chicken stick and keep it in your flightbox when you forget your glove, if your anything like me your going to forget it again! great content, Keep building and flying!
That must be a circa 1980's Ultra Stick, where did you get it? If I remember rightly, the next generation was the Ultra light stick, identical except for majority of plane was covered in clear. Good video.
Thanks for the video. I’ve wondered how well the Saito 150 would power a 30cc Stick. I sand the leading and trailing edges of props for self protection. The 150S will bite very hard. The early ones are worse than later engines because they have a higher compression ratio. It’s the scariest engine I own. Too bad that your Ultracote is already failing. Every plane that I covered with UC ended up having to be stripped and re-covered with something else because of delamination.
The Saito 150 is a great engine (not scary when handled properly😉) and would power the 30cc Stick very well. Agreed: Ultracote doesn’t come close in quality to Monokote or other covering brands😏
Ive got the Great Planes Big Giant Stik which is basically the same plane but with the traditional Ugly Stik Red Baron Fokker theme. I'm running an Inverted Saito FA180 with the Slimeline inverted pipes so our setups are so similar we even have to clean the same spots post flights....
How old is that Srick? I have a H9 30cc Ultra Stick that is green and white. A great flyer. Looked to be about the same physical size. I also have a Great Planes Giant Stick with a 60cc twin. I love these sticks. Nice flying. Glad you didn't seriously hurt yourself.
@@flyinghighjoe Yep. That's the point. Everyone thinks it can't happen to them until it does. Only takes one mistake. In my case there was slack in the tail tie down and the plane lunged forward causing the spinning prop to impact my left hand. 30cc, 19" prop. I was lucky I didn't lose any fingers.
Just happened upon your video. Nice job and good to see newer pilot's speaking about safety. Not nit picking, but be cautious about the strings on your hoodie, looked awfully close to the prop. Keep up the great videos 😉
I have a stick I bought 3 yrs ago. It was built 20 yrs ago and never flow . I getting it sorted out now for a maiden. My first🛩️ flights were in farmers field near my home in northern Utah. I fly umx and park size off my back yard in the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints parking lot and ball field often. I'm dig'n your flying.
Cool 😎. Small planes are fun to fly out of every random place possible. I’m getting ready to put in a grass runway at my house for the bigger planes which will be really nice.
The Saito 150 is relatively light in weight. I had to add a big chunk of lead ballast to the nose to get the CG into the accepted range. The 180 might be a better choice if you need more weight on the nose.
@@flyinghighjoe The 180 has a bigger bore in the same sized cylinder and actually weighs 2 grams less. Two grams is insignificant for an airplane that big but don’t assume larger displacement equates to more weight.
What engine mount did you use? I bought the green ultra stick and it didn't come with an engine mount. I'm going to run a saito 180. Should be plenty of power
Sorry I missed that part… it has four 3 1/2” 1/4x20 steel bolts on the wing. I thought abt using nylon bolts to save some weight but I don’t trust their strength.
@@flyinghighjoenylon bolts of that size will be plenty. It's not do much of a weight saving as such, but a air frame/wing protection. If you drag a wing on a ruff landing, bolts will break before ripping the blocks out. Such is the theory any how.
Glow is not dead !!! ❤
You got it man!!

Really enjoyed all your videos up until now and will follow your videos in the future ,every video gets better and better so keep it up my friend 👍🇬🇧
Thanks bruh

Great tip! I need that in my first aid kit.
That thing sounds AMAZING!
nice stick and rudder skills love the vintage hanger9 stick.👍✌
Thanks I love it too!
Keep'em coming bud! Love your style!
Thank you sir! I plan on making one every 2 weeks and possibly more if I can.
Nice video and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks for sharing.

Saito is extremely important, indeed!

It’s the same size as the hanger 9 30 cc ultra stick. I don’t know how old it is though. I think it’s the original one they made.
I used to ALWAYS "mostly" carry a stick !! Don't feel a thing when she kicks back! :)
The reason it cut my fingers is the back edge of the prop is very sharp. So when it back fires it bites ya real hard.
That could NEVER happen to me...
Until it did. ER visit. 16 stitches across 3 fingers.
It can happen to anyone!

Lol I didn’t notice the strings till I watched the video later. Kinda scared me knowing what could’ve happened if they got caught😬. Lesson learned
ANY STICK IS A GOOD STICK! 😱😝😁🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲

Was thinking about putting a Saito 180 in an Ultra Stick, the 150 powers it well.

I love my sticks! I've got a few of them but not that big!

Sorry, I don’t know what brand or size mine was. The 180 should be awesome!🤙
you didn't talk about the wing.. double screws?

Four strokes are a pig for kicking back, always try and use a chicken stick if you have one, engine sounds beautiful though
They do love to kick back in fact I had this one running in reverse a few times resulting in a hot carb and much confused pilot🤥
I had the same plane. Flew it for several years with a Moki 1.80 until I shook the tail off.
Dang! I’m sure it hated you after that😆
@@flyinghighjoe original owner did not glue it well enough.
Well someone got to ask can it hover?
Oh ya!! I have to fly it a few more times to get comfortable but I did hover it a bit and it accelerated out of the hover vertically
Very nice love the vids
