I remember a while ago (probably last year) seeing someone who was setting up a stryker ultra micro for a maiden flight. Im thinking of getting one - do people here have any thoughts?
To fill you in, I dont have my bronze wings yet so when I fly solo it must be under 100g by CASA regulations. I have been flying a T-28 UM to death this year (at least 3 flights a week every week) and can get it to do pretty much what I want (almost to bronze wings grade I think - UM and wind makes the loss of altitude aspect of turns more challenging). I have also flown a UMX Carbon Cub (that wasnt mine) successfully and I have had some success at repairing and flying my UMX beast after learning the hard way to land with ailerons on low rate. I would be using the stryker to train me for some speed.
The other plane I have been thinking about for speed practice is the HK 400mm micro rare bear (which is also a 2s setup).
