DURAFLY Ugly Stick V2

The Ugly Stick design has been a popular nitro sports model for almost half a century and this iconic airframe is known throughout the RC world for its exceptional flight characteristics and charming yet simple lines

With the Durafly™ Ugly Stick, you too can experience what made this design a classic, 20~30 years ago it would have taken months to build an Ugly Stick from balsa but not now. Then it would take hours of voodoo magic to make the motor run for an oily and noisy 10 minutes. Not anymore! The Durafly™ Ugly Stick can be flying in a fraction of the time with minimal building, no tuning, no cleaning!

The Ugly Stick V2 comes with all electronics pre-installed, all major components assembled for you and a full compliment of tools and accessories are included. No glue is provided, as none is needed! The Ugly Stick V2 bolts and screws together in just a few easy steps, multiple access hatches also allow for easy access to all internal electronics.

The V1 was designed and built around the popular 2200mAh 3S lipo battery, the V2 has slightly more room in the battery compartment and does require extra noseweight so we recommend a Graphene Panther 3000mah 3S or similar pack (even then it may require some additional ballast in the nose). The V2 also is supplied with an upgraded powerful 3536 900kv electric motor, Durafly™ 30amp programmable speed controller and 4 good quality 9g servos. The V2 also sports a new hi-viz blue color scheme that looks stunning on the ground and in the air.

The Durafly™ Ugly Stick V2 not only looks as good as the original but flies just as well too, perfectly capturing those excellent flight qualities of which the Ugly Stick was renown. Being the well mannered sports model it is, the Ugly Stick is suitable for both novice and experienced flyers alike. At the lower end of the speed range it exhibits no bad stall tendencies and can be flown comfortably at half throttle if desired. However, when you wish to experience its true flying capabilities, open the throttle wide and the Ugly Stick will oblige, performing a full range of sport aerobatic manoeuvres with the ease that made the original so popular. Due to the low current draw of the Ugly Stick V2 power system you can also enjoy longer than average flying times with mixed power use.
