    Sport Cappy cuts/builds an old school Ultra Hots with a few mods.

    I believe that site is owned by his son Steven Santich. I think Dan has passed away? I am currently cutting 4 of the original 40 size Hots kits. JAG and I both want one, but two will be put up for sale for materials costs once I have them completed. JAG has an Extra Evo 36 that I think he...

    Oh no ****? In all my years of working on stuff I didn't know that..... Dude I didn't break it, it was broke when I got it. Heat works great, working a bolt back and fourth a little at a time usually works well too. Chris, you must think I am really quite dumb from all your well intentioned...

    I got the motor slightly used, but the idiot used Loctite on the prop bolts. One was broken when I got it. I was able to get the other ones out. That motor I think was due for updates anyway so after talking to Colton I just sent it in. I've never sent in a DA before so it's a new...

    I have been emailing back and fourth with Horizon about my airplane. I was told the bulge around the wing tube was present on all the wings. "It is the piece that spreads the pressure under a hard load to a wider section of the wing so the wing can't fold under hard G. It is a little unsightly...

    I bought those as well. I wouldn't mind to do the big hots sometime.

    I bought plans off eBay and the air age store. Both are exactly the same. From what I have gathered from other threads the Ultra Hots plans have some issues. Where the other size plans have been pretty good. I'm not sure if you got plans from the Santich website if they are the same or not?

    I can look too when I get home. I took the hinge into the local HS and picked out the wire that fit. I didn't even know you could buy them like that till Cam sowed them in one of his build threads.

    Yeah I paid good money for this plane, and I haven't yet finished it up. When all of this started coming up I kind of quit working on it. It makes me wish I would of just gotten an extreme flight but I wanted this one as I like the foam wings. HH did send me a new canopy and I had to call...

    Big (giant) screw driver and a strap works ok too. I actually strap my planes to my truck when running them at home.
