Default First 3D ARF???

Looking for a good first 3D model.
Must be an ARF, and prefer to power it with a YS 110.

The poll lists models that appear to be decent choices, but those of you with some experience would obviously know better than I.

Thanks!

I wasn't aware of the Flip, but wouldn't the 110 be a bit much for it? It is reported to rock on a YS 63.
Looking for something larger, but without breaking into the gassers (old eyes need a bigger bird ya know).

Wow. Okay, so far, 4 votes for the UCD-60 and 4 for the new Yak.

Has anyone actually had a chance to fly the Yak, or are you guys judging based on the video?
If a YS-110 is actually powering the plane shown in the video, then I think it really would be a good way to go.
Not cheap, but looks scale, and maybe a bit larger.

Hmm...... Tough call. I really expected the Mayhem to have a few fans, but the poll is still young

They only two that I would even be remotely interested in would be the UCANDO and the Extreme Flight YAK for a YS 110. The UCANDO is more of a 3-D trainer. It will do everything easier than the YAK. The Yak however will do it better. It will be harder to do 3-D on the YAK. If you just want something to play around with, A blender here, Waterfall there, then I highly recommend the UCANDO. But the YAK will probably be a better all around plane. It will 3-D plus it will fly smooth precise patterns. From what you were saying, I got the message that you were just starting out, so my vote goes to the UCANDO. Good Luck with your decision.

I'm going with the Mayhem. I like the size of the plane and the weight. 6 foot wingspan and a 1.20 4stroke size plane that has a weight in the 8-10lb range is hard to come by. Almost seems too goot to be true. Mine is just ordered. Can't wait!!! lol

Plus with those big fat wings I'm sure it will land easily.
