Put a 13x4 prop on it and have fun. It's not gonna rocket out of a hover, but it should fly just fine. You might want to try that engine/prop on a 40 sized u can do.

I've got/had many UCDs, I love them. I run YS110 and OS120ax. that probably answers your question. But, if you over power like this (or use your 75 on the 40 size), DO NOT use full throttle unless the nose is pointed straight up.

from experience it will fly but not much 3d. I had a st 75 on mine first, flew sport like, then went to a st90 and it could barely hover and now im on a os 120 surpass and i have hover and steady but not fast pull out. id at least stick a os 120 4s or 2s on it to be happy.

Sounds like he's just trying to find a home for that 75, rather than buying another engine. I'd say go with a 40 sized Do, and it'll be plenty of power.

There's a world of difference between the ST 75 and the Tower Hobbies .75.

The latter is a stump puller, and should have NO problems with the UCD .60 doing 3D.

I would suggest going for a slightly bigger lower pitch prop on the list of the recommended props for the T.H. .75, but only putting this on after the TH .75 is fully broken in.

The S.T. 75 is not a slouch, and does wonders on my Big Stick .60, but the T.H. seems to do much better and develope more power.

I've flown the T.H. .75 on a bigger and heavier ( but older and now discontinued ) Passion 3D, and even on this heavier plane, there were no problems doing 3D after the engine was properly tuned.
