I need a good plane to teach me 3D
Hi guys, I'm wondering what you guys think is a great plane capable of basicly showin me the ropes. I'm lookin for somethin that hovers and TR well and easily. I'm lookin at the YS 91 to power it. I've been checkin out the Flip 3D. Around 60" WS.
Thanks, Jordan

3D
After flyn the UCD, there should only be one plane to learn 3D on. The UDC, because U Can.
Nose heavy it will hover like a dream, teach you how to torque roll, flips and flops like a fun fly.
Almost too ez to hover.

Well,
I like the looks of the Doghouse, and the fact that Chip practices with it, but is the DE and the UCD EASY to hover? I want a plane that was build to teach people 3D. Oviously, the UCD fits the bill, but is antone talking from experiance? Thanks, Jordan

I've never had a plane which could hover until this one. I'm having a blast with the UCD3D. Once set up, its pretty easy to get a hover out of it. Just make sure you put in an engine with plenty of power. That will make it easier.

How about the Diablotins, or the Ecstasy that was reviewed here a while back?

I learned to TR with a Doghouse Extreme. Great plane for that .91
The UCD is also a good 3D trainer.
ARF vs. Kit........

Nobody recomends the Flip?
Well, I like building kits and the DE looks great. It's cheap and I might be able to get my mentor to sell me a Saito 180 he has lyin around. What was yours equiped with. I mean radio, engine, servos, etc. Jordan

No way. Much too big for this plane.
I did a review of it as I was building it.

Oops
I had the specs mixed up. I think I'll build a DE this winter. And I'll stick a YS 91 in it. Can it fly on standard sevos? I've got 4 lyin around. Jordan

check out the Ecstacy at hsrcm.com There is nothing this plane wont do and it is quite forgiving. It is a kit. They are new and it makes a mediocre 3d pilot like me look good

Thanks for the info on Ecstacy. I have been reviewing fun tiger extra and the reviews are not good. Unfortinutly I just purchased it and have one flight on it before the cold weather set in.
