There is no such thing as too much power so I installed a Saito 1.80 single cylinder in my UCANDO. Yes, I've added a few ounces to the tail, but the accelleration out of a hover has to be seen to be believed! She actually will hover a few clicks off idle with a 16x8 prop.

She has unlimited vertical. I have literally flown her straight up until I couldnt hear the motor anymore and lost sight of the plane. I cut the motor back to an idle and applied full up elevator and left aileron until I could see her again... it took about 15 seconds :stupid: .

I fly off of a grass runway, so I beefed up the weak landing gear and so far... it has been working great!
