One purpose of these forums is to provide info to fellow fliers so they can have the experiences of others to help decide what plane, engine , etc will work for them. Barry has lots and lots and lots of full body ARFs and one profile. He apparently has never even seen anyone fly a good 3d profile. He has a very high opinion of the UCD, an opinion not shared by some 3d fliers. He also writes alot of comments on planes that are useful when looking for something new. He is the sole reason I got a Mayhem 40 ARF when I got close to running out of planes last summer. So I listen to what he says. Except about profiles. He has a wild hair about convencing the world that profiles are worthless.

I have and fly a UCD 46 and a Mojo 60. There is not one thing that I can do with the UCD that the Mojo will not do better. The Mojo comes as a kit, costs $90 , assembles quickly, weighs 5 1/2 lbs with a Saito 91. Anyone can tell the Mojo is structurally way stronger than the UCD.

I have an OS 91 4 stroke on my UCD 46 and it is about right. My plane weighs 5.7 lbs - I weighed it. I have recommended it as a 1st 3d plane in the past. If you want an Arf for learning 3d it isn't bad. BUT it isn't better than a Mojo 60 in my experience. My Mojo is cheaper, stronger, lighter and does better tricks than my UCD.Has anyone else owned both and have an opinion?

BTW I can understand why people find profiles less attractive than some scale like planes. If you can't get past the looks you won't be happy. I am very much of the pretty is as pretty does camp. My planes look like NASA development hardware and that is fine by me. My Mojo does great knife edge loops,and flat spins better than my UCD. I can do rising flat spins with both the lowly Burrito and the Mojo 60.
