Default RE: Best 3D plane for OS 46fx

I find that the fact profiles don't have removeable wings is one of their greatest attributes. Having the fuel tank on the outside is pretty handy too, all you have to do is fly by and you can see how much fuel you have left.

No they aren't pretty but once you fly one and realize just how practical they are the looks issue becomes a moot point.

The UCD .46 has balance and weight issue for many and anyone that followed the LONG post here on RCU about the plane learned that it's a great flier but many were putting .91's and 1.00's on them to get the performance they wanted and then they flew heavy. They also have some issues with certain maneuvers like harriers. A good profile will do anything on a .46 engine with and APC 11 x 4 prop and standard servos that a UCD can do and then some and IMO for less money.

Both are good airplanes but the profile gets my endorsement.
