ULTIMATE 3D & CRASH

My first aerobatic plane was the Horizon Hobby Artizan, and I honed my flying skills on it for seven years. (   • ArtiZan Maiden Flight. Most of my crashes occurred while practicing inverted flight. However, I have to admit I took them in stride, and I was able to repair the plane and put it back into the air. Unfortunately, all good things must end, and the plane took an unexpected nose-dive and was a total loss. After checking out websites for a replacement model, I settled on the Ultimate 3D. This is a quick look at the build and maiden flight(s). I'm impressed with the performance of the model, and I fly it as often as my Extra 300.
