Okay, guys, here comes the 6 Question Quiz. Ready?
1) Does the U-Can-Do 3D .46 Flatspin both ways?
2) Will an O.S. .70 Surpass power it out of a hover?
3) Does it hover well?
4) Does it Rolling Circle well?
5) Does it Harrier inverted and regular well?
6) Does it build well?

If you can answer these questions, please give me any info you can.

Thanks, guys.

1. YES
2. dont know, saito 82 and 100 will
3. YES, with 2 more deg right thrust
4. never could, im not the greatest though
5. harriers good inverted, i didnt do well upright
6. i built two and liked both, ive only been building 2 years but both(and the 60 size)all turned out real good, just be sure to beef up the landing gear after they break off , they do break off clean , just dont put on the wheel pants till after you beef them up(they will go right through the wings )

What gjeffers said. He's right but I'll offer my two cents worth too.

1. Yes, the 46 will flat spin excellently, both ways. Few planes do it better.
2. OS 70 is not enough engine for this plane if you want to enjoy it.
3. Yes, it's easy to hover. I use an 82 and it's plenty, but a 100 is even better.
4. Rolling circles are easy and not too pretty. It's kinda sloppy, but that's probably me more than the plane. I can do them but they look better when I do them with my Showtime.
5. Mine has a lot of wing rock when doing harriers. Better inverted. Not it's best move.
6. It's an easy build. I like to build them. I've had plenty of paractice. Landing gear is weak and is best if reinforced slightly. The wings "rattle/drum" quite a bit but I've grown to love the sound. Book says 6 hours.....Takes me 20-30 to do it right.
7. The UCDs are my favorite planes. Can't go wrong with them. But use plenty of power.
Thanks

1) flatspins MUCH better upside down
2) barely if you are lucky... you do need more engine then that to be happy with this plane.
4) can you do a rolling circle well? even a mildly aerobatic trainer will do a rolling circle in the right hands, that isn't a 3d maneuver.
6) has some serious weak points that need some help, mainly the landing gear mounts. i've had two, and both have had issues with the gear and associated wood ripping out.
