U Can Do 3D
I agree. I mainly fly funfly. Where they weight about 3.5-4.25lbs. and put a .45 w/ a moose can on them. With that much power it will easily hover a 5.5lb plane.
As w/ a fun fly and other hovering airplanes, you don't want to pull out of a hover, you want the ability if you need to to shoot out of a hover. Why else would DA-150, 3W 150, that put out approx 85lbs of torgue on a 35lb plane. I have talked to and ready about 35-40% airplanes hover around 1/4 throttle. My UCD hover over 1/2 throttle. The next Gaint scale you see hovering. Listen to the motor in a hover, it sounds like its at a high idle. then listen to it doing a knife edge loop, it sounds like it working 3 times as hard. In my opinion to 3d you need all the power a plane can handle. I have heard that if you fly a 40% aerobatic plane w/ a DA150 or 3W150 at full throttle on a horizontal straight line you will rip the wings off. And I do believe a UCD can handle more power than a 91 has to offer. You just have to know when to use the power.
I have experimented w/ my UCD w/ Saito 91. With a lot of props. I have figured out that it hovers better w/ a 15x4w, ( I am sure a 16x4W hovers even better) but it pulls out better w/ a 14x4w. I am going to keep playing w/ more nitro and see it it helps. since I already own a Saito 91, I am not going to spend the $270 on a Saito 100 or YS91. Because even the YS91 owners are still wanting just a little more power. I will probably swap over to a ST90 w/ moosecan. That combo w/ swing a 15x4W prop about 1000 more RPM than a Saito91.
