Hangar 9 - Ultra Stick - 60" - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maidens

[@busterbelcher4100]

I'm a subscriber and have been watching your channel for a long time, but haven't ever taken the time to let you know how much I enjoy it. I especially enjoy the build portion, and I'm glad you don't leave out anything. I enjoy the length of your programs for sure. I'm 70 years old and just getting started in rc Planes. I was given a Hobby Zone Sportsman S+, and I just love it. I have crashed it a couple of times due to my depth perception around trees, but I've repaired it and ready to go again. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Thumbs up to you and the "camera crew", please keep producing these wonderful videos.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We're glad you're here with us, and very glad you enjoy the IN DEPTH look. We get a bit of grief for longer videos, but every time I look into it, I can't figure out an area that could be clipped without losing an important aspect, something that might help a newer flier trying to get over the hump. The technology makes for a very steep learning curve, and so many want to gloss over this, as though it weren't a factor...it IS. Crashing due to depth perception is a tough reality of poor vision...but it is not a skill you will "earn" without many tears and lots of CA ;) I'm very fortunate to see well these days, but grew up and spent the majority of my life being "Blind" - not legally, but pretty bad. After LasicPlus, I can see well, but DEPTH perception is not a skill that will keep you out of trees...this is a learned skill....obviously, some part of it has to do with natural vision ability, but what REALLY helps me is practice in an area. Really KNOWING your surroundings, seeing shadows as you're flying...this helps a TON. You have to pay attention to where the sun is in the sky, and where the shadows pass under the plane, and onto trees, and over buildings, etc...this will give you tell tell signs of your general location. If in doubt, give yourself a wide berth, but when you think you've got it, you will eventually find out you didn't - LOL - I've done it WAY too many times, but it's worth it to enjoy the tight surroundings, and it makes for more interesting videos, at least, I think ;) I hope you'll continue on, and we've glad you're here with us Buster! Thanks for the kind words, and we are honored to be helping you in some small way!

[@cornfield4489]

I just finished assembly and now I'm watching your video. I had a similar issue with the tail wheel collar. My solution was also "force". I use a Loctite stick. That works a lot better because it's a semi solid rather than a liquid.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

nice!

[@westonhollenshead9891]

Hey my man , my grandpa flew all the time I was Co pilot most of the time and he passed also but he’s the reason I’m his aviation craving grandson , I just ordered the air tractor , love the videos I wish I could film with y’all 😂👍🏻

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Awesome! Tonight, we had a real air tractor fly RIGHT OVER US....we were all in the pool we setup this weekend. It is HOT out this week, and we are waiting on TWO items to show up and ready to film them in a HUGE hurry, but they're both NOT here!!??!?!!?! Super annoying. Fedex and UPS just don't know how serious it is for us to get these planes - LOL :)

[@old-rcplane-phart]

I bought a stick from a fellow flying buddy HE built 10+ years ago, (i flew with 20 years ago), 40 sized, a couple of months ago. It Started out as nitro, & he converted it over before i bought it. NOTHING flies like a stick, especially an all wood one! 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Right on! I think these balsa planes are going to be around in 10 years, and in GOOD shape...where as some of our favorite foamies will be dinged into oblivion. I have a lot of them, so I know ;) Don't hear me wrong on that, I LOVE FOAMIES, but I do see the advantages of a higher quality plane.

I've become a huge fan of Hangar 9 arfs since getting into this hobby. This plane is definitely in my list. I've always been a fan of balsa scale models so, these are very appealing. Man, this hobby is so addictive. Great video as always, Brian!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Totally addictive!!!

[@billmandolin1]

I had the same problem with one of my batteries alarming. I looked at the center pin on the battery plug and it was slightly off center. Straightened it to as square as I could get it and no more alarm. Love your videos.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out.

[@jamieharris986]

So cool!!!! I had a 4-stroke powered Stick years ago and was hoping to get an E-Flite version someday. That was my favorite plane.

[@Lee-pd5ko]

Ok, I dont know if I'm committed or if I should be commited... I have watched all your long videos, the 3, 4, and 5 hours ones, lol. This plane reminds me of the Telemaster I used to fly. I really enjoy looking at all the new tech that you introduce. I'm an ol' Balsa Gasser but I'm really amazed at how all the elects have redefined the hobby. I looking to get back into the hobby. Starting on an old Royal F4U Corsair when I get my garage cleared and a new bench built. Looking forward to it again...

[@troy9er]

I had the E Flight mini Ultra Stick years ago. It ran on 3 S 2100 mah packs, no flaps. What a great plane. Forgot about that bird until I saw this video. Those planes fly soooo nice. Would love to build another one with flaps.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's a small pack!!! I wonder if your plane was a bit smaller, like 3X as small???

Hi, big thanks as I'm just setting my plane up, just put in my receiver how to set the ax3 in and was not sure if the plane had to be level. so thanks for your vids, Help me a lot

[@bennicholson5970]

I was setting up my receiver just now, and one of the servo’s caught fire !

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yikes!!!! Better on the ground than in the sky! I've had this happen once - F-14 from Hobbyking - it was a WEIRD servo too!!! Wing sweep servo...like 26 grams or some such strange size.

[@laurenceboag2325]

I ended up having to straighten out the rear wheel axle to get that collar down to assemble the tail. I appreciate the way you dd it, but I could not get it to work. Otherwise, an easy build. Thanks for all of the set-up info.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I was afraid of that, since it might weaken the joint... I was rather annoyed with that step myself ;)

[@Stinkles_]

Cool plane! It’s above my experience level, but I’m definitely interested in seeing more Hangar 9 stuff on the channel! I too would’ve literally (figuratively) killed for something like this as a kid lol. I grew up in the era where RC aircraft were unimaginably out of reach, and the cars took 9 hours to charge for 2 minutes of operation, and maybe 30 seconds of full power before the battery went soft. I think my adult RC obsession is a bit of an overreaction to all that disappointment 😅

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Back 20 years ago, the hangar 9 brand was the Porsche's of the day! 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I agree totally! I had an RC10, after many "Sears", "Traget" and "Wal-Mart" cars of the day...it was refreshingly fast, and extremely expensive. I remember this was a time in life, right after my mom had died of breast cancer, and my dad would take us out and spoil us with things...I think now, looking back - how the hell did he do it.

[@Stinkles_]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Brian, I’m really sorry to hear about your mom, and your dad sounds like a hell of a guy. I think I’m a couple years older than you, but I remember my friend’s older brother had a Tamiya Avanti, and it was the coolest thing I had ever seen. Especially the text on the spoiler that said “Being Nuts is Neat!” Words to live by indeed. -Dan

Thanks for this great video. I need this plane. It’s on the bucket list now…

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's a biggen!

[@Grahame59]

Re your problem of the aileron linkage fouling the servo cover, you could easily resolve this by coming in a hole or two on the aileron horn. That will give more throw on the control surface without the need to have excessive servo movement.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Good idea!

[@tomshaw4534]

Hi Brian, Loving the videos and your passion. lets me see all the new releases and how they assemble and fly. I love your style and approach and the interaction between you both just adds to the fun of the videos. Just FYI, the elevator ball link to nut on the horn should be tightened fully as the movement comes from the ball and socket, if not you risk it working its way loose. :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Good point about the ball links. I don't know why I didn't immediately know that, I should have...call it a brain fart ;) Thanks for being here with us, Tom, and glad you like our setup!

[@troy9er]

My Dad built and flew control line back in the day. Not after I was born and he never got to see my planes. He would have loved it. He has been gone (and RIP Dad😢😘) for over 20 years. As a matter in fact he never even saw the house we built, my Mom has but he didn’t. Me and my buddy use to look at his old plane that hung in the rafters in our basement and dream about it.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for sharing. I'm fortunate to have my Dad around, but my Mom died when I was young. Changes your life.

[@troy9er]

I hear ya, I just lost my Mom too. Dads been gone for over 20 years. I’ll miss her, but she had bad Dementia and alheismers. So her loss is kind of a blessing. Thanks for the reply. BTW, I just received my new Ultrix 600! Can’t wait to maiden her.

[@bcflyer99]

Ooh the Stick. I have this one (well, not THIS one but an Ultra Stik from Hangar 9), flies great. It's hard to get the CG wrong too. Mine's on 6s, Avian/AR637T, and I did the reverse. Great review, I'll sit back and watch.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@billnelson4133]

I use an extension from the battery to the ESC. Works really well.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Some of these ESC's get kinda picky about using extension cords, but I don't see the harm in it, if the cables are of reasonable size.

[@lnblues]

Went together quickly. 1 aileron servo was not 90 degrees. I fly 3D planes so went with 4 ailerons. I don’t like the 1.5 Alan heads. Just too small. I fly it hard for 7 minutes and the battery is not warm. Using Aura 8 flight controller mixed flaps and crow. Fun to fly.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

COOL! I've always wondered about the Aura flight controllers. Now that Spektrum has the 8 and 10 channel with AS3X options, have you considered them for any projects? I'm still trying to put together how I could use the top end channels, with a NX8 - LOL ;)

The H9 with the rectangle on the left side is for gas power build, it's where the on/off switch for your electronics goes

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

True!

What’s the servo whining noise? I’m getting that on mine too

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Sometimes the servos make that noise. It can be worsened by the resonance of the frame and covering of a balsa wood plane.

The standoffs came with the plane, so I can't say what they are. I would just get something to sleeve over the bolts you want to use, and if you can't find something, I'd suggest something like this... amzn.to/3rz4u7q ...which I have different sizes just sitting around. I assume if you're into ARF's you already do too. There's nothing particularly special about these standoffs, that I recall.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Wheezmaster2012]

Did you know you can use a very small thin washer on top of the ball link after you snap your link on for more added safety keeping the link from popping off due to vibration or wear preventing a catastrophic ending to a flight. I have learned this the hard way. I like having redundancy when it comes to safety. I would've also isolated the RX with a thin foam pad under it and secured with small Velcro straps. Vibration on any plane is not healthy no matter if electric or gas. Just my two cents.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't deal with larger/heavier planes much, so I'll keep that idea in mind! As for the vibration, yes, it's hard on everything, but I guess when you're dealing with an electric plane, there's minimal vibration compared to gas. I just haven't had issues with this in the past, on my planes, but in my industrial career vibration has been a huge source of job security ;)

[@Wheezmaster2012]

@@BrianPhillipsRC It's kind of ironic as I am a 35-45% giant scale aerobatic gasser guy transitioning to small foam electrics. I feel like I have to learn all over again. I am just so used to vibration isolation, dual redundancy and etc flying $5K+ airplanes. Thanks for all the videos you guys both do a great job. Not a fan flying around powerlines, trees and structures but I have dabbled with small stuff on my street in front of my house so I can't say too much. I am a big supporter of local flying clubs and fields. Keep up the great work.

[@jeffwright754]

Brian and Camera Crew, great video with good detail. I started looking at your video after I already committed to a path but it was still helpful. I installed an AR8360T with NX8 and set it up with 2 ailerons and 2 flaps which filled up all but channel 8 of the receiver. Now I am heading into the AS3X but hesitate when I see I only have one channel left. I hope to have switch B, FM1= Safe envelope type, FM2 = AS3X mid gains, FM3 = Normal inhibit with no automation. To set up AS3X and select FM on B involves also the gain control on trim or knob. Have any ideas on how to approach this? I know one way is to reconfigure flaps to a Y connection like you did on the AR637T perhaps. Are there other degrees of freedom?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If you get it to work, you are going to have to do magic - been there, FAILED at that - you'll run out of channels. If I were you, I'd SERIOUSLY consider putting the FLAPS back on ONE channel, and get back that CHANNEL, and you'll be WAY more likely to find success. Flight modes are weird, and I'm only just now starting to use them. I KNOW you'll have some fun with your flap mode to safe / as3x intensities...since you still need a channel for their control. Also, maybe just get her flying well, THEN split out the flaps??? Just a thought - then you won't need the additional GAIN channel like I think you will.

Good format don't change I like all the info. It might just be me but I set every single model up with the same switches very confusing to give different models different switches!!!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Glad you like it. Long and detailed...some hate it, but most our audience members love it. As for same switched - 100% Absolutely!!!

[@stevescott9474]

I've confirmed from Andy Kunz the Not Charged for Flying Alarm is a bug. He tells me it is fixed in Airware 3.7. You get the alarm when using the Avian Smart ESC. Yes, it is very annoying.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

AWESOME! Glad it's just a bug ;)

Hey Brian! Love your reviews. Any chance you will be reviewing the new Eflite RV-7?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

As soon as it shows up. We know about it and will be reviewing it.

[@richhollenbeck5619]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Awesome, I will be looking forward to it! Have a great day!

[@stewartsceo]

Flies more competently than it looks. Got to say I nearly choked when I tagged the link to see the price tag! For a balsa plane?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's all built thought...not like a kit. Kit's are about 1/3 to 1/4 the cost of a flying plane - just keep that in mind. Not cheap, I agree, but if it were an ARF, you'd be in it a LOAD more, I bet ;)

[@jonathanrubin3603]

What is crow ? Please explain . Thank You .

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I do in the video. It's flaps and spoilerons simultaneously. Works good for slowing the plane down without giving up control of roll authority.

[@sky5900]

I'm sorry but I just couldn't add a "butt-ugly" plane to my collection. Fast forward please, Brian, to the RV-7 LOL.

[@timbacchus]

Agree

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

RV-7 coming very soon!

[@mateoamador2179]

Hey Brian, its me the kid from Friday, we talked. how are you.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Good Mateo! Welcome back ;) Thanks for being here with us!!!

[@randallhash9283]

I love your videos, Brian....Very educational...Sorry, but, what does “ crow “ mean?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Crow is a setting where the ailerons both go UP and act as SPOILERS AND AILERONS all the while, the flaps are DOWN...this helps slow down the plane, lower stall speed, reduce lift, and increase drag, all the while without losing Roll authority. Very cool!

[@traveler7137]

As a kid for me looking through the magazines it was the satabria I just love that plane I built that one with the stars on it you know what was it called I can't remember but the day it had a big deal sheet of stars with thick blue lines and that that's as close as I've come this is tavia but that was the thing that I used to dream about at night as I was flying by control line airplanes in grade 3

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Childhood memories and dreams!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

Dude when are you going to get the Westland Lysander and build it fly it?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

OOOOOO I want that one!!!!

[@rafaeltorres2886]

@@BrianPhillipsRC Mine is arriving on Monday I've seen some reviews already but I wanted to see what you where going to do with it first.

[@jacksampson7711]

Wow nice but very expensive plane. Especially with you add the battery and receiver you linked. You must be sponsored.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Yeah, it's pricy when you add everything up - $750+ for the whole shabang, IF you have Tx already....but this is pretty typical for a plane of this build quality. I know it's kinda crazy, that's why I don't have loads of them sitting around - they don't hardly want to send these ones out for review - LOL ;)

[@notoo7]

We want percentages! My Evolution is on its way!!!

[@robertlongerman9183]

Mine too tomorrow it comes can’t wait

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

TOTALLY AGREE - you'll love the Evo too!

[@travelmateprince2693]

Wow huge and that is a lot 5 hours

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I know!!! 5.5hours videos - where else can you watch a single KZbin video and also serve a short jail sentence all in one half sitting - LOL

[@nigelvillage9359]

Hi Brian, how come your screen is orange? Nigel, UK

[@troy9er]

That’s a heavy plane even though you are powered brushless rather than by Nitro.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

totally

[@snoriverrc3842]

This was posted 6 hours ago, so congratulations to all of you who just finished watching it all :)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

LOL - Exactly!!! Gold Stars for all of you!!! ;)

[@esteban33ification]

What’s not to like:) 👍

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Hi there Esteban!!!

[@bcflyer99]

Balsa flies better because they don't have any flex like foamies do. Put a camera on a foamie and watch all the flexing in-flight.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's a big part of it for sure.

[@stanjohnson6813]

WAHT WAS XBO SETTINGS😁✌

[@stanjohnson6813]

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Expo? In the video. I can't remember.

[@hoah]

It’s warning you because you have it set for a higher cell battery

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We figure it out in the video, keep watching and you'll see what it was doing.

[@mikewhitaker2306]

Love that plane, just an FYI when you're showing procedures try to have your airplane within 50 yards because we can't see anyting beyond that

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I want you to try this once.

[@mariusrosseland6995]

[@kawasakizx14jomamamoto57]

I have always loved the hangar 9 supersticks but the new one and the price that's a little ridiculous

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Well, consider another plane, possibly. This is only one of many ;) Hangar 9 has some new goodies coming soon too ;) (I'm not supposed to say)

[@kevindurant1298]

Pnp balsa👍 👍👍

[@snoriverrc3842]

I know HH sent these out to everyone to review, but OMPHobby has fantastic planes I think Brian would enjoy a good deal more. I'd like to see him review 2 or 3 of their models.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

We've done them (OMP) and plan to do more as soon as we can! They are great, and good prices too!

[@robertdavis3788]

That plane looks like the Karen Carpenter version of the Air Tractor

[@BrianPhillipsRC]
