Default RE: First low wing ?

ORIGINAL: perreback

The OP is not a novice; he's flown several trainers and a Cub. The UCD is a piece of cake.
No he is a novice...

e.g. "1 Glider ,Several trainers and a Cub Under my belt."

A non-aileron foam Supercub, a foam glider and trainer planes means that this will be his first transition into tail draggers.


He'll be dealing with multiple issues at a time, making the UCD a VERY POOR and possibly SHORT LIVED choice.

Yes the UCD is incredible and it floats in so nicely, that it's easy to assume that it will be a piece of cake for anyone.

The first burst of wind for him on an approach will result in ripped out landing gear and punctured wings which the UCD is somewhat famous for.

RCKen went into great detail why it is a very POOR choice for him as have many others.
