Default RE: Problems With the U Can Do?

I am in the minority and get laughed at but I LOVE the U-Can-Do, I'm on my 4th one, all .46. The first was one of the very first one's years ago and I started with a OS.46 in it, not enough power. Then I put a old ST.75 in it and wasn't happy with the way the motor ran so I bought a Saito .91, bingo, perfect. It flew so well my son learned to fly basic flight on it. His first few flight were on a Quaker then he moved to the UCD. The First one after a very easy landing ripped out the landing gear block. Tower replaced it, didn't even ask them too but while ordering a replacement the said send it back. I cut the stabs off put it in the box and they sent me a new one. The second one got fiberglass over the gear block and firewall to beef it up. First flight I was banging it around hard and the battery came loose, oops... #3 was retired after functional failure of the fuselage following a mishap caused by turbulence, honest it wasn't me... I still fly #4 regularly and it's now 3 years old I think.

I have a lot of mixing in it and love the tight loops, quick rolls, and high alpha stuff. I will admit it does not do everything great(no airplane does) but it does what I do with my competition fun flys and if it crashes $125 buys a new one.
