You'll never be sorry owning a UCD. It's one of the finest airplanes out there. The move planes I buy and the more money I spend...makes me like the UCDs better. They are incredibly easy to fly and will do any 3D stunt. My favorite is the blender with a rising flat spin at the end. Not very many planes with do that, no matter what the price.

I've tried the Mayhem (another very good design) the Showtime, the Funtana, the EF Yak, the Velox, all of which are supposed to be pretty upscale airplanes. I like the UCD the best. It may not do all things as well as some, but it will do everything, and it's just a riot to fly. One of my favorite planes.

The only advice I'd give would be to go with a YS110 or Saito 125 for power. It took me a year to move from my Saito 100 to the YS 110 and I couldn't believe how much better I liked the plane. It made every stunt easier and better looking. You do have to be VERY careful with power management though. Another suggestion is to go with very good servos. At least HS5625 on the tail and HS 645 on the ailerons and HS5645 on the rudder. This also effects the way the bird flys.

I just fly mine the last three days. Had the time of my life. I love the plane. I also have the 46 and I'm building the Giant.

Good luck with yours.

Thanks
