I fly the Future3D, and love it !! (I usually fly Dazzler - horrible plane, Hobbico spectrum - nice, Dave Patrick Extra 330 - no need to say more)

The plane is beautifully built and professionally covered with high quality matterial. The fuselage is beautiful, and looks big for a .40 size plane. It is VERY light. The wing and stabs are fully built and hinged. All I had to do is to drop the fin and horizontal stabilizers into the slots in the fuselage, install the servos and engine. This is the easiest ARF to build. One thing that took some time was the servos installation. The servo holes are meant for mini servos (go figure..), so I had to enlarge the holes and reinforce - pretty annoying. I also did not like the large fuel tank compartment. It is too big to hold the fuel tank in place, so I had to glue some ply to support the fuel tank (nothing special, but the airplane is built so fast, that this kind of simple tasks got my attention).

Accessories: everything is supplied, but the fuel tank and engine mount must be replaced. The fuel tank is so funny - they built the lightest airplane, but supplied the heaviest fuel tank that could ever be invented !! The tank stopper is made from rubber with two HEAVY metal disks. It worth buying this plane just to get the chance to see that fuel tank stopper. I think it weight the same as a standard servo. Just replace it with the cheapest fuel tank you can find, and save a lot of weight. I am still flying with the original tank (just did not had the chance to replace it).
The engine mount is also very heavy. It weights more the the whole airplane frame. Just replace it with nylon mount.

Flight characteristics: At first I thought that it would not fly well because of the short, narrow wings. But, WOW, thins thing fly nice. It does harriers really easy. Hovers are also easy. I just love flying in harrier all day long, and transition to hover from time to time. If the nose fall from the hover, I just add a bit of power, and pull full elevator, and it gets back to 90 degrees in a second. The control surfaces are just huge, and you feel it while flying. Knife edge needs lot of ailerons mix. Never drops a wing during stalls. Landing are very easy - it never dropped a wing during my slow landings. I had a lot of dead stick landings with it, and all were easy.

Because of it's short wings, I thought that it is unstable during the initial flight. I even thought that I had some kind of radio interference. After few minutes I got used to it, and now I think that this is the MOST PREDICTABLE airplane that I ever had (that includes my first trainer and my DP Extra).

CG: Make sure to put it back enough. Don't even think of using the recommended CG noted in the manual - not even for initial flight (I never used it - my CG is much behind the recommended one). I don't know what the guys in Phoenix models thought when they recommended that CG for a 3D machine.

Takeoffs: The wing is parallel to the ground (zero alpha angle), so takeoffs takes about 30 meters. Be sure not to pull the elevator too much - it wont help. Just be patient and let the Future3D take off by it's own will.

I fly with 46 fx, Master 12x4 and APC 12W. Hovers with much power to spare. Vertical accelerations are good, but not fast enough, so I will soon replace to MVVS .49. I mounted the engine inverted, which puts the muffler exit just in front of the wing servo - not a good thing, but nothing that a mufller deflector can not solve.

I bought it in about 200$ here in Israel (for reference, UcanDo .60 costs about 190$ in here), and I think that it worth every penny.

Hope it will help someone,
Yaniv.
