Beautiful plane, great flight, good job!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Jesse!

[@hamiltonshangar]

Damn man I think this is the first I’ve seen you take to the skies. Hell of a pilot you are. Wow. And at 30% throttle that thing is a speed demon for sure. Cheers 🍻

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Man. There are a few of my flight videos over the past year that are me. A few CARF Tutor ones floating around and L-39 ones. Thanks for watching!

[@frankleonard6291]

Landing was super hot

[@RT10Viperman]

IKR...!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yup! That's what 5 months of no flying because of the snow does to us up here. Next 3 landings were much better!

[@Georgeolddrones]

She fly lovely excellent job thanks for the video 👍 George in England Uk

[@thelightersideofrc]

Many thanks! Thanks for watching!😎

[@winibaldcroux2000]

Man that landing...that turned out real good, but could have been a real bad way to end an afternoon 😮

[@thelightersideofrc]

Haha. WOW! This one is going back a minute or two! Pulling videos from the archives! Thanks for watching

[@thelightersideofrc]

Lots of maiden flights and first flights of the year accomplished Yesterday! Was great to get out! Thanks for watching!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yes it was!

[@brentholmes3339]

HA!! Nicely done.....from Ontario Canada! This is my favourite combo for the Ultra Flash. I have a couple UF's, and both have KT 160G2 turbines in them. I had a 140 Cheetah originally in one of them, and that is a really nice combo too. Sweet spot for us speed junkies is around the 140-160 Newton mark. I have seen everything from a 90 to a JetsMunt 200 in an Ultra Flash, and the middle ground is best if running from grass. I still have to re-maiden my second one, so I have a bit of puckering to do soon as well. LOL!! I really like your build videos and tips. Great for newcomers and experienced builders!! Please keep them coming.:)

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Brent! Your absolutely right with the 140-160 range. I’ve owned multiples. My first had a 90. Next 3 had 140’s which were great and now I’m loving the small can 160! Great match. Couldn’t imagine 180-210😳 Thanks for watching!

[@IansRCExploits]

Amazing Jet!! Amazing flying!! Nice maiden flight!! Thanks for sharing 👍😄

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍and thanks for watching!😎

[@12345fowler]

I am surprised you didn't check slow flight during the maiden, with and without each flaps config. This would help you dialing in the approach speed for that dreaded first landing.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Meh. I’ve owned so many ultra flashes it’s not a big deal. Landing was hot. Now. Landing is slow.

[@RT10Viperman]

You can build them and fly them..! Nice air work Jon..Also that one thumbs down is a Testor sniffer.!!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA Thanks! Those darn Sniffers!

[@RT10Viperman]

@@thelightersideofrc HAHAHA IKR

[@pre7ender]

Oh wow that thing is FAST 😅 congrats on the maiden, thanks for sharing!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching! I didn't even ring her out yet! most of the flight was aroun 1/2 stick except on the uplegs.

[@paulhatfield498]

No slouch with the 160 in it.. nice flying!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊

[@daykin17]

You do some cool work Jon...appreciate the vids.....I live in Okotoks and really enjoy all your shop work also...keep em comin man

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks, will do!😎

[@davewilshere]

Jon. Nice fin stickers 🙂 You can shut down completely base leg in light winds!

[@sheeeene7]

I thought that was a Motors and Rotors sticker on the fin Dave. Mustafa had one in the same scheme but not in as good condition as this one!!!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Dave! I appreciate it! 😎

[@thelightersideofrc]

The Sticker made a long Journey across the pond to get here!

[@robinsareolas]

Well done, congrats!

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you! Cheers!😊

[@cx9drvr]

[@helischorsch9786]

Wow👍...this beast is really fast😳...great flight, nice plane🙌

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 👍Didn't even put the gears to her yet. Throttle stick was at 1/2 most of the flight except on the verticals.😎

[@ianimg1043]

Congrats on your maiden, nice jet. Cant wait to be able to fly again here in the UK after the lockdown 😎

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Ian. Thanks for watching!

[@vincentgattorno9751]

Nice fly. wish plane do recommend for beginners.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! For Turbine Aircraft there alot of great choices right now! Hard question to ask as it depends so much on what their skill level is.

[@AEROLeoKrieger]

Beautfull

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you😎

[@wildgoobsid5]

Crazy. If the radio ever went dead this thing would land 5 counties over! Lol the guard might even have to shoot it down.

[@thelightersideofrc]

HAHA! It might run out of fuel before it get's that far but it's DANG FAST!

[@rikusnagel5474]

Awesome cool vid

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching!

[@nakul3424]

Great maiden, planning to do a similar setup on my UF Evo. k160 g5 and igyro 3extra, i know it boils down to personal choice but does the UF really need a gyro? I intend to put one but ive been told by fellow club members she doesn't really need a gyro and flies on rails, i just intend to smooth out some gusty winds and a bit of aid while landing. So gyro or no gyro?

[@thelightersideofrc]

No plane "Needs" a gyro to fly. I will ALWAYS have one in my aircraft. 1. Landing we have the gain double or more and it's a huge benefit on landing. 2. your aircraft looks like it's not flying in windy conditions when flying in windy conditions.

[@carlton2913]

Looking to build the same jet I was looking to put A 142 I see your running a 160. Does that make the plane harder to land ? Any pros or con toward the 160. Any info would be great. Carlton

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hey Carlton. I have owned many ultra flashes over the past 8 years. Flown with 80’s to 160’s as in my current one. Honestly my favourite engine was my last one which had a kingtech 140. I like the 160. It’s got some perks like you can go vertical on take off so maybe my new favourite but overall the 140 was my favourite

[@thelightersideofrc]

+Carlton Davis not sure why this is popping up again as I replied but I like the 160 but I think the perfect engine is a 140. The 160 is nice because you can go vertical on takeoff😂

[@Alex-yx5yq]

oh je suis france normandie

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching!

[@rikusnagel5474]

Maidening my 55cc Sbach-342 next Saturday. Plz check out my video on how to start a rx plane (dle 55)
