IMO the Alpha is probably not much different from any other 40 sized trainer out there. What makes it is the RTF version with that snazzy pre tuned evolution engine.

You could probably salvage all the stuff from the U Can Do and put it in a 60 sized trainer. These trainers are a fair bit bigger than the 40 size and are better flyers.

I've just retired my Superstar 60 after its 2nd tree and I'm currently putting together a Hobbistar.

If you had a few flights on the UCD before crashing it then I think the Hobbistar is the best bet.

BTW. Tower are wrong in thier description, the MKIII has 'proper' iron on covering.
