Thanks guys

Doug, the OS 50SX on my flip doesn't jump on the pipe until about 3/4 of throttle, and that means that I still have a good midrange and idle and therefore no problems with that. I only use full throttle to climb vertical, or escape out of some sort of mishap !
Can't say anything about the UCD, since I have never had one or flown one.
