UCD... or is it?

The GP-UCD 3D is a great flying 3D plane and an exceptional value at $189. In fact, when I flew my friends' (Mecam) several months ago, I new I would eventually own one. There was only one problem, (at least for me and many others I know) it's one of the ugliest planes I had ever seen. I hate owning ugly planes--so I set out to do something about mine. Basically, I didn't care for the original covering scheme. So I decided to recover the tops of each surface and add a little extra trim to the fuselage. The results are pictured below. Of course, it's purely subjective--but I think this is a big improvement.

BTW, there were added benefits to recovering--it allowed me to repair one severely broken rib (came shipped that way) that I may have otherwise not discovered. In addition, I was able to check and reinforce many of the glue joints.

You can find out more about this plane (soon) on www.3dBatix.com

I just flew mine today for the first time.

Saito 1.00

Easy to hover and TR.
Lots of wing rocking in high alpha.
Lots of pitch coupling with rudder to mix out also.

Your draft looks very identical to the final product. Good job! You should take out that JR logo though.:D j/k.
