I am recently returning to RC after about 20 years. I feel that I used to be a very good sport pilot and flight instructor with the Simi Valley Fliers (CA). I dabbled in Pattern and flew in a contest at Mile Square Park (3rd place, but got shot down on last flight). I have been flying over the past 5 months a Great Planes Reflection flat foamie and been having a lot of fun.
I am thinking about taking the next step and am considering two different planes. My interests are sport aerobatics, 3D, and fun flying (maybe some contests later). The U Can Do 3D appears to be a very good flying sport / 3D machine. The other is the Great Planes Extra 300S 1.60.
I really like the Extra but with the motor and kit there is a $200 delta in price. I like the extra's 'scale' appearance and airfoil shaped control surfaces (versus the slabs on the UCD). One of the biggest differences I noticed is the performance in Real Flight simulator. I really like the control response of the scale aerobatic planes (Extra, Giles, Yak, etc). The UCD (in the simulator) seems to be a little more sluggish. I would appreciate anyones feedback on the flying capabilities of both of these airplanes. Is the simulation in RealFlight accurate? I have found with my Reflection that the flight simulator does a pretty good job of simulating the flight characteristics of the flat foamie.
RC Universe's reviews of both these airplanes is very good so I probably cannot go wrong with either one.

I would apprecriate anyones feedback.

Thanks
Tony
