Default POLL!!?? Flip VS UCD ?????

Laser 3D - yes I used to own one..... again fitted with YS 63.

Not all that keen on it so I sold it, and the ply was too heavy. 4-4.5lbs - I doubt it as standard kit, but it depends if builder too steps to lighten it, what servos were used, and of course the 2 stoke would have been a bit lighter. The thing with the Lazer is it has a lot of wing area. I flew one also with a OS 50 and it was fine from a power to weight ratio.


Pizzazz is aweful and again heavy - too much hi grade ply, and a bit of cheek to claim to be a 3D model or Fun Fly in the true sense if you ask me!.

I would say that the two better fun flys of this type at the moment are the Flip 3D and a fairly close second is the Weston UK Hype 3D...... but I suspect that the Hype is not quite so robust as the Flip.

The Flip could so with a carbon or GRP u/c instead of the soft alloy one though.

Gotta go, Baby Daughter is yelling....... again !! new hobby !
