I just got to the end of this thread, and now you are saying that you are getting board with this aircraft. If you had started the thread with this it would have saved me a lot of reading.[&o]
Never the less I have question for you who have flown both the UCD 40 and 60. I’m normally flying helicopters but since I newer hover those I have decided that I need an aircraft that I can hover with. The UCD I just going to be something to play around with, the helicopters are prio 1, so I don’t intend to put a lot of money in to it. That means that a 4 stoker is out of the question for me, I’m just gonna get a cheap engine. The question is what will be the best, a UCD 40 with a J’EN 56 (Just Engines) with a pipe or a UCD 60 with an ASP 91?
And what prop do you suggest for these engines?
Also to keep it simple I’m gonna use same fuel as I do for the helis, that is 15 synthetic oil and 15 nitro.
Getting bored with the UCD, damn it.

tompa I hope I didnt make it sound like this airplane is not worth owning. On the contrary it is a delightful airplane but I feel I am ready for the next step as my 3D thumbs are getting better. I dont regret buying one, actually it became my "main" airplane this past season by defacto. The others were/are in some sort if disrepair [:@]. I learned alot and did my first hovering with it. Before that I was a tear holes in the sky type of guy with smaller warbirds so this was a refreshing change. The airplane is capable and if I had to vote I would go for the 60 with the 91 in it. I think it will fly fine but might not be as "unlimited" if you went with a larger 4 stroke.
Dont think about it, get the airplane and go have some fun becuase thats exactly what this airplane provides...fun!
