Mixmaster...

I'm on my 3rd UCD60 as well. I love the plane. I agree with everything you say. I fly mine a lot in the wind...it's always breezy here, but the wind does knock it around a bit.

I love the rising inverted flat spins this plane will do. Not many airplanes will do this. I'm not sure why the UCD gets a bad rap but I always find myself defending it. It's a nice plane. Period. When you factor in the dollar value (cheap) it's a GREAT PLANE.

I love the way it flys. It has taught me a great deal. The KE coupling is bad and the Harriers are poor but I just don't those maneuvers with that plane. It does excellent hovers, waterfalls, and flat spins. It is very easy to do a rolling circle with and lands so easy it's funny. I was just flying mine last weel. I'm gonna fly it again today if I can get off work a bit early.

My biggest problem as been the rudder. I break it on the hinge line every 10 to 15 flights or so. I have to peel back the covering and reglue it.

I even use the stock landing gear set up now. I just am pretty careful when I land it.

Thanks
Barry
