The CF and UF are totally bullet proof. Unless you try to take off with the brakes set and hit the tall grass at 50mph!!

My UF had 140 flights on it when I bought it. Today I put my 110th flight on it and it's still as solid as it ever was. When you consider the performance this aircraft has and the sheer abuse it's...

I use less than 5mm of crow, probably around 3 to 4mm, and it transforms the tip stall tendencies of my UF. Doesn't take much AT ALL to make a big difference.

The use of crow has advantages and disadvantages IMO. I know DW doesn't agree but I can say without a doubt that it tamed my UF considerably with regard to low speed wing drop. This is not in...

BlueBus, the black really makes that scheme POP. Great job.

Pete, that's just a super clean installation and an awesome example of a UF. NICE!

Oooo, that hurts to look at. But you know what they say - if you ain't crashing, you ain't flying! My flash looked this bad once, and nearly as bad another time. And it looks and flys better than...

Thanks for the info, Dave. I'm amazed at how friendly the stall is on my UF - until I put down full flaps. My full flap setting looks real close to the pretty yellow UF above. You are right of...

DW, I know you're a proponent of no crow. Have you ever done stall tests (at altitude of course) with a UF at full flaps? I'd be very curious to hear about your experiences.

If I took out the uptrim it would no doubt climb when inverted so I guess that's the real clue here. Too bad it would be so difficult to shim the stab for uptrim. I'll put an incidence meter on it...

Next time I fly I'll have to pay attention to the climb/dive/power thing. As I said above, I swear it used to climb under power and now I don't notice that. Where are you going with this idea?
