I posted this in the arf forum but didn't get the response that I would've liked, so I thought I'd try here. I appreciate the couple of people that did respond just hoping to get a little more from the 3D guys...

Alright I've narrowed my next plane down to 2 different choices, the Harrier 3D 40 or the U-Can-Do 40. I've heard good things of both and just wanted to get some feedback from the people that already have them. All help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gavin

These planes are very similar...

I've had both, powered by the mighty 110 engine. In my opinion the UCD is a better choice. It's almost a pound lighter than the Harrier and flys a lot lighter on the sticks. Neither plane KE very good but can be done with a lot of stick correction. The Harrier is tougher but the UCD isn't bad except the landing gear block is a bit weak. The UCD will Harrier better, Waterfall is about the same, KE is better with the UCD, Hover is easier with the UCD (easiest of all planes actually), Blenders/flat spins are sensational with the UCD (it will actually do a rising flat spin), UCD is easier to build but not quite as tough.

I liked both planes but I gave the Harrier away in favor of the UCD. I've had 3 UCD60 and 5 UCD46. They are awesome planes. I can't ever see the day that I won't have a UCD to fly. They are just flat fun.

Thanks

I haven't flown a Harrier but the UCD 40 is a very nice plane. I've flown one with a Saito 91 and it flew very well; in my opinion this plane is much more capable than the UCD 60 (I used to own one of those). I really love my Kangke Fun 50 but for a plane in that size range, the UCD 40 is a very good choice.

if the ucd is easier to hover than the harrier, then it must almost hover by itself I only fly the harrier and that plane transformed me into a hoverguru I could not hover for more than 10 sec at a time and now on the harrier after flying it just this summer I can hover a tank full and touch the tail in the ground on a regular basis. I think I will own a ucd next summer

asmund, what engine do you have in your harrier? I was kinda hoping the support was behind the harrier, it's a little cheaper. That's alright though, keep it coming guys change my mind for me...

i agree with barry. i have had both airplanes. the ucd is better in every way, except it is more delicate. i am getting my third ucd 40 next week. very fun plane. just land it softly.

i flew the harrier with a super tigre .90 and the ucd with a tt .60. the harrier needs more than a 2 stroke .90 but the ucd has unlimited power with a .60

I had a u-can-do and lost it in the sun[8D[>:] but found it in the ground[:@] I replaced it with the Harrier and wish I had gotten another u-can-do. I powered both with the same engine, OS50SX (fyi both planes needed more). I felt more comfortable with the u-can-do than I do with the Harrier. I had to change the covering on the Harrier on the bottom wing so I could tell the difference. The clear covering is nice but I like to have the top and bottom very different. Just much easier to see.

hello again. I power my harrier 46 with an sc (same as magnum)91 fourstroke and a mas k-series 14-6. Great power out of hover and hovers at just below half stick. I used white spraypaint meant for lexan rc-car bodies to paint half the underside of the wings, works great and doesn`t come of.
