No prob. Since you are flying in CO, I would prob go with the 140. I fly off grass and use the entire runway to take off so a little more thrust would be nice for take off.

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

After about 30 flights I finally figured out the best way to land this thing at my field. It lands super slow and very easy now. K100 is plenty for my field because it gets from end to end in a...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

The hinge one is pretty far from where you are going to need the glue. You will see there is about a 4-5mm gap in the foam that was cut out to allow the elevator to move. The hinge line is in the...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

You need the Vaseline or wax to keep the glue out of the hinge line or you will have a really tight control surface. The skin was epoxied to the foam when the plane was molded so there will be a...

Here is mine flying at The First in Flight Rally. Nothing special but the pass at 2:25 shows it still moves pretty good on only 22lbs of thrust. Flew it 14 times there and got comfortable with the...

When I got the plane the gear worked great, but my buddy told me he had silicone the steering cables. I did it but then it made the wheel turn. Never could figure out why, so I picked it all off and...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

By the way, mine is balance in the same place as it was. So the landing characterics were only changed by by reducing flap and adding crow. Put 9 flights on it the past 2 days. I have some video I...

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

Well 2 flights on the flash today in 20mph cross winds and it lands just fine. 3.5" flap and 3/16 crow was night and day over the 4" flap setup. Very predictable now.

RE: C-ARF Ultra Flash build Thread + Video

I have 50 flights on my Tornado and can tell you it does not land the sme way. I used the same approach I do with my Tornado and every other jet but didn't work out. I got it slow I guess.
