Any thoughts on the Composite Arf Skydancer? Has anyone flown it? It looks nice, but how does it compare to planes like the U-Can-Do-3D. Thanks...

I have flown the u-can do. Great 3d airplane. But knife edge and precision lines does not fly very well.
The skydancer looks like the total flight envelope.

I order one monday. Will have some input in 2 weeks.

relax1...which engine you going with?

once you get the skydancer together why done you let me know how you make the ailerons 1 servo setup to work. I have 25 deg up and 45 deg down. cant figure out how to even it out. Im going with a ys 63 on mine but I gave up on it for now.

My buddy has his Skydancer up and flying with good results. He is able to harrier/elevator it well ... looks pretty stable but he is a good pilot. He says that it does the rolling harrier better than his 33% H9 Cap or 33% Aeroworks Edge 540. It torque rolls well ... but has a very high rate of roll once it gets going. I did not ask him about the knife edge or other more precision type of maneuvers.

He has a Saito .72 in his. I bought a UCD because of the unknown performance of the Skydancer at the time ... just got my UCD up and flying. I haven't flown the Skydancer so I can't really make a direct comparison. The skydancer is considerably smaller in wingspan than the UCD, if SIZE matters! <grin>

Hopefully some of this helps ...

Thanks everyone... is there anyone that has flown both?

How would anyone rate the finish on the skydancer? It looks as if it wight have seems and such where the molds come togather.

I am assembling a skydancer now. the
Finish is very good, and the Harmony scheme is artwork.
