UCD does not snap very well if you compare it to a scale aerobatic plane. I think it's those huge wings that prevents it from snapping right. It does more like a barrel roll, even at 3d rates. It seems to snap tighter at higher speeds but nothing close to a scale model. Also, honestly the torque roll does not happen automatically, you would sometimes have to give some left aileron to start it and then sometimes it just stops torque rolling even when you're perfectly vertical. It's still a very fun airplane to fly because you can go crazy without really sacrificing $$$$. In my opinnion, it shouldn't be called U-Can-Do-3D because it does not do all the 3D manuevers out there. I'm also having a hard time getting it to do knife edge spin because it does not want to whip the tail around. I'm gonna try 6-1/2" CG and see what happens. The recommended CG is 4-7/8 so I'm way back there.
Then theres one manuever this baby can do that I've never seen on any airplane do is "KNIFE EDGE WALL". I guess the fuse acts like a wing because it's so tall and skinny.
They should also take out the U-Can-Do-3D stickers from the package and maybe make the price $5 cheaper cause honestly I don't think anybody puts them on.
