So far I have about 10 flights on my plane. I could never do anything 3d before and already I can hover it for about a minute. I still have to set it up for spoilerons so I can do the harrier. I also did 2 rolling circles in a row with it. With the saito 100 it hovers at about half throttle. I can take off in short distance and then pull strait up to where I like to fly it.

I like how slow it can fly. With my cap 232 I always had to keep my speed up for everything. I like flying slow and tearing up the sky. The only thing the UCD3D can not do great that I have tried is a flat spin. I never really was crazy about flat spins, but I have another plane that can do them well. I think this plane really matches me as a pilot very well. I would like to have a fleet of them just for back up.

I agree with you. The UCD is a great plane. I am new to 3D, but I figured the UCD would be the best beginner plane to learn on. I'm hovering for 10-20 seconds, but will get better as time goes on. I am very impressed with the slow-speed characteristics and how easy it lands. Been flying it for two weekends now. I have an OS .91 Surpass in it and was having problems with it loading up at idle, but a Cline regulator solved that problem.

da_man, what prop are you using on your 100?

Wade

I am using a 15x6 dynathrust prop with 15% nitro.

Ok, thanks.
