Home for my Saito 82?
My Fliton Inspire met an unfortunate end during my vacation. Low, slow, and caught a gust in a harrier that I could not address before she caught the tree tops.
So, I have a pretty much new Saito 82 that needs a home. Rather than just replace the Fliton, I wanted to know opinions on best 3D bird for this power plant.
Only criteria is it must have a removable wing (no solid wing profiles, due to storage issues)

Already have a Funtana 40 (not the new color scheme). Good flier, but nothing as light or capable as the Inspire was.

RE: Home for my Saito 82?
My first choice for the Saito 82 is a UCD 46. Great flying airplane. Will do anything 3D including the illusive "rising flat spin" and the "flat spin landing". Wonderful plane at a great prive. My second choice would be the Sig Mayhem 46. Another great plane. Lots of fun to fly but a little more money than the UCD.
Third on my list would be the Twist 46. Nice airplane but a little too close coupled for me.
The UCD is a real standout in this class and would be my favorite.
thanks

The best place to put your Saito .82 is on one of the kits on www.the******************.com
Planes listed are some of the best around.
Mine is going on a PRIMO by Swaneyshouse.com. Kit was delivered today.
Some of the planes are going to be offered as ARF'S, for those of you that do not build.
Tons of info here also.

Excellent! I happen to have one NIB on the shelf. Will build the UCD and give it a try

Great. You won't be disappointed. Here's a link to a wonderful UCD thread. People are the nicest around and they'll help with any questions you may have. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_81...tm.htm#6384091 Trust me...you'll like the UCD. IF you have one on the shelf...even better. Question...why haven't you built it before now?
Thanks

OMP fusion. Wonderful 3D... really almost too easy, never quites flying, and flies precision better than my pattern ship or any of the other pattern guys who have flown mine. Really neat to fly both genre's in the same flight.
