*Sigh* Nobody else here in Detroit flies it yet I've seen. I've been soloing my UCD for a little too long. Come one, go Wing!

They must all be brand new ha ha. Another guy at my field bought one right after I did, he's a week day flyer, I'm the weekend pilot. He just crashed his last week, and I just sold mine, because I knew I would have crashed mine sooner than later. When you start becoming real comfortable with these planes, one usually becomes a bit (or a lot) cocky, and before you know it, shoot, I pulled out of that waterfall with 6" too less altitude he he.
By the way, often the times I aalmost crash it, is on those really slow inverted passes, where you have to use the rudder for directional control, because the wing is just about to stall, so ailerons are a no-no. Thank you for the good thrust to weight ratio, just get the nose pointed up and gun it ha ha.

In simulator I practice those really slow inverted flights, and give rudder the same direction of the wing that drops (since yaw is reversed). Is that what you do?
