Ultra Micro Planes

ParkZone and E-flite have created many wonderful and capable planes but few compare to the recent generation of ultra micro planes. Two of the newest releases, the Ultra-Micro Sukhoi from ParkZone and the Ultra-Micro 4-Site, further push the envelope in terms of performance and capability. David Payne has helped develop and design a number of excellent models, but he's especially proud of the Ultra-Micro 4-Site. He sat down with us to talk about these planes, their capabilities and addresses many questions that people have had regarding their performance.
