Status: offline 		Here's what I have done with a Saito 91, purchased used:

Hovering, Torque Roll
Blenders
Snaps, Spins
Flat Spins (almost flat), Knife Edge Spins
Pinwheels
Elevators, Harriers (working on keeping the wing rocking down)
Walls (good), Parachutes (incredible)

The plane is a joy to fly and everyone at the club loves it. I have 3001 BB servos on everything but the rudder, which has a 90oz JR4735 servo.

The OS 91 has good power, so if you can get it tuned properly you should have a lot of fun with it.

Slow knife edge, stand it up into a torque roll, bring it down and PUNCH IT! and watch it zoooooom away. Play with some props. 14-4 and 13-6.

Gee, I think I just wrote the same thing in another post.

Status: offline 		How about the O.S. 1.08 FSR? Weighs 26oz. Too heavy? Does the O.S. 91fx hover it with alot of pull out?

Status: offline 		Willy,

That plane has monster surfaces, and a monster wing, and a monster fuselage. It can support a myriad of engines, and weight really isnt too much of a concern. Just move the battery back a little bit, if not all the way to the tail. They are flying with OS61's, YS91's, OS91s, Saito 100, Saito 120, Saito 150, and I heard theres a Saito 180 powered UCD. There is also at least one powered with an RCS 1.4 gas engine. Engine choice seems to be either whatever you have on hand, or what you are willin to spend.

Status: offline 		Well i have to say the ucando is an awsome plane. i havent flown one my self but there is a guy at my field that is the "young guy" who can fly quite well. he ripes the sky apart with one of these the things i have seen him do are incredible. the plane has a saito .91 and it has unlimited vertical. the inly prblem he had was with hinges he acidently put glue in them. but when he does fly he is incredible. the only thing that i notice is that flat spins arnt really level the tail since it is further out like a patter ship it lifts it slightly. but i would say it is a great plane.

Status: offline 		Yeah, that's my UCD with the hinge problem. I used DuBro pinned hinges and have had a few break because I accidentally got glue in them. I'm replacing some of them now and using a different technique to attach them. Hopefully that'll help me out - I hate having to stop flying because of a broken hinge.

The nice thing about this plane is you don't need to spend a lot of money on servos. I've read of a lot of people spending over 300 bucks on digital servos, but mine has 3001 standards, with a 4735 coreless on the rudder. Keep it simple!

Status: offline 		Better to sell the engine and get a smaller one. This plane isn't stressed for a heavy engine like that.
