The UCD flies good, but is down on power, and the tail-feathers are much smaller than I'm used to on a 3D machine. Would make a good "starter" 3D machine. Fortunately, you may edit torque and many other parms to suit.

The flat-outs are nuttin' but FUN! I like the Turmoil, especially for knifeedge maneuvers. It seems to do everything really well. The Reflection Bipe is super-maneuverable, probably the most "wow" factor of the bunch. The Katana is OK, the Chapman is OK too. I haven't flown the real-deal version of any of these flat-outs, so have no idea how they model compared to the real ones, but if anything like the models, at least two will be on my shopping list soon.

The lawnmower on high-rates has incredible roll-rate. Doesn't like to fly inverted at all...very touchy...it will, but requires constant control inputs. I got more laughs out of the lawnmower than the other planes. The engine sound is especially funny. My girlfriend even wanted to fly it.

The airports are worth mentioning. KE has done a bang-up job of the photofields. Collision points and mapping seem super. The covered football practice field has a vertical tarp hanging from the ceiling that you may fly behind, and run into. Pretty neat. Haven't flown all the airports and planes/helis, so can't comment further, but from what I've seen so far, I'm more than satisfied with the expansion pack.

Oh! Forgot the Chapman Cap...it is very easy to 3D. Plenty of power and control authority. I personally like the 3D physics of .410 though. Harder to 3D, just the way I like it!
