U can do 3d for second plane?
 

Just wondering how this would be for a second plane or should it be my third? I am also looking at Hanger 9's Ultra Stick or the new Wild Stick from Carl Goldberg also. Which one would be the better second plane? I have mastered the trainer to the point where it is just plain boring and my landings are no problem at all. And I think that I want to move up to a tail dragger. What are your opinions. Thanks

trainers never get boring. max out the throws to where they can't go any further for rudder + elevator. give maybe 30 deg. aileron. stick and APC 12.25 x 3.75 (assuming a 46) on and learn to hover! what trainer are you flying?

yes its good for a second plane. It all depends on how good you can fly the trainer. if you are flying around and getting board with it then you might be ready. of course you will discover if you were ready once you leave the ground with your ucando./

Killer,

This was my first plane in 20 years..let me explain. I flew for about 6 years straight about 25 years ago. I decided to get back into it and I thought, what the heck, I will go for it. So I bought the U-Can_do and put it together. Got my field box together, went to the field and gave it a go. Stuff came back pretty fast. The thing about this plane is it lands soft and is very forgiving. It will go where you point it, but it stays on heading. It will NOT try and go to neutral if you come off the sticks. As long as you are good with you're trainer, I think you can handle it. I would however make sure that you have you're old instructor there for the first few flights. The other thing that is very different is the fact that you will play with the throttle alot. This plane can fly itself apart. I would learn how to work the throttle on you're trainer well before you try the U-Can-Do. Its a different world, and alot of fun as well.


Go check out the U-Can-Do .46 thread, there are some great guys over there and they are willing to help.

Thanks for all of the info. But I think I am going to get the Wild Stick. The trainer that I have is a PT-40 which has been a great trainer. I think the the u can do 3d will maybe be my 3rd. In the mean time I think that I will take richohealey's advice and see how far I can get the throws on the trainer to go and fly it a little more until the wild stick is ready.
