BUILDING PRECAUTIONS
During assembly, we recommend resting the parts on a soft surface such as a soft towel to help prevent denting the sheeting.
REMOVING WRINKLES
The covering of your model may develop wrinkles during shipping and will require the use of a heat gun (HAN100) and covering glove (HAN150) or covering iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to remove them. Use caution while working around areas where the colors overlap to prevent separating the colors. Avoid using too much heat, which could separate the colors. Placing a cool damp cloth on adjacent colors will also help in preventing the separation of the colors while removing wrinkles.
OPTIONAL FLOAT INSTALLATION
The Ultra Stick PNP fuselage has been prepared for fl oat installation. For additional details, we recommend downloading the Ultra Stick 10cc manual (HAN2345).
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Use the three-view drawing at the back of the manual to determine how much
room will be required to transport and store your model. We also recommend the
use of wing bags to help protect these surfaces during transport and storage.
The control horns and linkages can cause damage to other surfaces even when
placed in storage bags.
Always transport and store the wings so the linkages do not contact other
panels to prevent damage.
RECEIVER INSTALLATION
-
Make the connections from the rudder and elevator servos to the receiver. Also, connect the extensions for the flaps and ailerons.
→All servo extensions have been provided when using an eight-channel radio. No Y-harnesses will be required. Mixing at the transmitter will be required.
→When using a six-channel radio, a Y-harness has been included for the flaps. Mixing at the transmitter will be required to operate the ailerons.
→Using a five-channel radio will require the use of the included Y-harness for the flaps and an additional
Y-harness (SPMA3058) for the ailerons.
-
Secure the receiver in the fuselage. Use the instructions included with the receiver for additional mounting details. Make sure none of the wires from the receiver interfere with the operation of the servos.
-
Check that the servo arms for the elevator (1) and rudder (2) are at 90-degrees to the pushrods. Adjust the sub-trim of the radio or reposition the servo arms as necessary.
-
Label the extensions for the ailerons and fl aps.

-
The completed landing gear will look like the photo, with the wheel pants facing as shown.
ELEVATOR AND RUDDER LINKAGE CONNECTIONS
-
Remove the 2mm nut from the elevator ball link. Thread the screw Use a 1.5mm hex wrench to thread the screw through the center hold of the elevator control horn.
-
With the radio on and the elevator stick and trim centered, use a ruler to check that the elevator is aligned with the stabilizer.
-
If the elevator and stabilizer are not aligned, thread the ball on the elevator in or out to correct the alignment. Make sure to thread the ball end at the control horn and servo arm equally as not to damage the ball ends.
-
Once the elevator and stabilizer are aligned, use a 1.5mm hex wrench to tighten the screw while holding the 2mm locknut with hemostats or needle-nose pliers.
-
Repeat the steps for the elevator to attach the rudder pushrod and ball end to the rudder control horn.
WING INSTALLATION
-
Connect the leads from the fl ap and aileron extensions to the leads from the wing. Mark each lead so they can be reconnected in the same positions.
-
With the radio on and the aileron stick and trim centered, check that the aileron is aligned with the wing tip. Adjust the linkage as necessary to correct the alignment.
-
With the radio on and the fl ap switch centered, check that the fl ap is aligned with the aileron. Adjust the linkage as necessary to correct the alignment.
-
Slide the wing tube into the wing tube socket.
-
The wing tube may be a tight fit in the socket.
→ Polishing the wing tube with fine sandpaper or steel wool will help ease the installation of the wing tube. Do not force the wing tube in the sockets as it can damage the structure inside the wing.
-
Slide the wing panels together. They will fi t tightly together when in the correct position.
-
Connect the leads for the fl aps and ailerons.
→ Make sure the extensions will not interfere with the operation of the rudder and elevator servos.

-
Fit the spinner cone in position. Position the spinner cone so it does not contact the propeller, Secure the spinner cone using the provided screw and 1.5mm hex wrench.
-
Secure the motor battery in the fuselage using the hook and loop straps.
→ Use hook and loop tape (not included) between the battery and battery tray to secure the battery during more aggressive flying.
-
The battery cover is held in position using magnets and is not a structural part of the airframe.
→ An thumb screw and M3 lock washer have been provided to secure the cover when performing aggressive maneuvers that may cause the cover to come loose. Lightly finger tighten the screw so it doesn’t vibrate loose in flight.
DECAL INSTALLATION
- Apply the decals to your model using the photos located in this section of the manual and the box art from your model. Use a spray bottle and a drop of dish washing liquid or glass cleaner sprayed in the location of the decal to allow repositioning of the decal. Use a paper towel as a squeegee to remove excess water from under the decal.
Allow the model to rest overnight so the remaining water can evaporate.
CENTER OF GRAVITY
An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is properly balancing the model.
- Attach the wing panels to the fuselage. Make sure to connect the leads from the aileron to the appropriate leads from the receiver. Make sure the leads are not exposed outside the fuselage before tightening the wing bolts. Your model should be flight-ready before balancing.
- The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is 4 inches (102mm) behind the leading edge of the wing.
- When balancing your model, make sure it is assembled and ready for flight. Support the plane upright at the marks made on the wing with your fingers or a commercially available balancing stand.
The suggested Center of Gravity (CG) is the recommended balance point for first flights. This provides a safe and stable setting so you may comfortably explore the performance and handling of your model.
The CG Range of 3 3 / inches to 4 1 / inches (95mm to 108mm) is the extremes of balance to which the model was flight 4 4 tested, and found to be flyable. The stability and performance of the model will vary when adjusted within this range.
As each pilot’s flying style and preferences are different, we suggest that you make small adjustments to the CG until you find the feel that you prefer.
CAUTION: You must adjust your aircraft’s center of gravity and balance your model properly before attempting flights.
CONTROL THROWS
-
Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.
When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the transmitter if necessary. -
Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the transmitter will make the elevator move up.
-
Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make The right aileron move up and the left aileron moves down.
-
Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons, and rudder.
Surface | Rate | Exponential | Direction | Throw |
---|---|---|---|---|
Aileron | High | 25% | Up | 19/16 inch (40mm) |

AEROBATIC MIXING
The Ultra Stick 10cc is confi gured with separate aileron and fl ap servos which
allows you to add a variety of mixes that will greatly enhance the
maneuverability of your model. Using these mixes is optional, and when setting
them up, we recommend testing them at a higher altitude until you have become
familiar with their effects on your model.
It is recommended to start with one mix and experiment with it until you are
comfortable with how your model reacts, then add each additional mix, one at a
time.
We have thoroughly tested these mixes during our flight testing. We do
recommend that you experiment with them and make any adjustments, as each
model and pilot will have their own interpretation of these mixes. Again, test
them at a higher altitude until you become familiar with how your model will
react to each mix.
Flap to Elevator Mixing:
Mixing the elevator to the flaps will eliminate any pitch changes when the flaps
are applied. This will make take-off and landing much smoother. We recommend
mixing 21/32 inch (17mm) of down elevator to full down fl ap.
Rudder to Elevator Mixing:
Using a rudder to elevator mix will help in obtaining and maintaining knife-
edge flight. We recommend starting with a mix of 5/16 inch (8mm) down the
elevator with full right rudder, and a mix of 13/32 inch (10mm) of down
elevator to the full left rudder.
Crow Mixing:
Using crow mixing will greatly slow your model during landing and extreme
aerobatic maneuvers. We recommend 1 31 / inches (50mm) of down fl ap, mixed
with 1 9 / inches (40mm) of up ailerons and 19/32 inch (15mm) of down 32 16
elevators. The roll rate of your model will be reduced with full crow, but
will still remain fully controllable and aerobatic in this confi duration.
Elevator to Flap Mixing:
For improved pitch response and a tighter turning radius, we recommend using
the elevator to fl ap mixing. Mix 35mm of down flaps to the full up elevator.
Aileron to Flap Mixing:
The roll rate can be increased by mixing the flaps to match the throws of the
ailerons.
PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
- Charge the transmitter, receiver, and motor batteries. Follow the instructions provided with the charger. Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for your electronic components.
- Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, and flaps) move correctly (i.e., in the correct direction and with the recommended throws).
- Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns, and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
- Prior to each flying session (and especially with a new model), perform a range check of your radio system. See your radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your particular radio system.
DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS
-
Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery. Do not fl y below the manufacturer’s recommended voltage.
Doing so can cause your aircraft to crash. -
Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Ensure that binding does not occur and that all parts are properly secured.
-
Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.
-
Perform a ground range check before each day’s flying session.
-
All servo leads and switch harness plugs should be secured in the receiver.
