I,m trying to plan my 3rd and 4th planes and want to understand the flying differences between the two planes in total flying abilities.
3D flight? Both are capable.
Specific abilities/manuavers capable of? The Sledge will be better at spin manuvers (inverted flats etc).
Slow flight? UCD will win this one even though the Sledge won't be bad. Rolls are nice at any flight speed and elevator / rudder stay effective. Just over idle will keep the plane flying.
Specific atributes? Sledge will cost a less to put in the air. UCD will need better servos to handle the huge flight surfaces and generally more expensive engine etc.
Down sides/incapable of? UCD will not snap well as the wing just keeps flying. Knife edge spins are a thing of beauty and don't drop altitude quickly as most planes from the huge side area.
Personal comments? One of each as they are different planes.
Thank, Dennis Spyridakos
