Need help deciding engine for UCD 46
 

I have a problem I'm trying to resolve. I currently have a 60 UCD with a 91fx. I'm deciding to also buy a 46 UCD. I originally planned to put a saito .72 in it I have laying around collecting dust. The saito .72 has only 10~13 tanks through it. After reading some of the posts concerning the UCD, I'm worried if the saito .72 isn't going to be enough power for this plane. Should I 1. take the 91 FX out of the 60 UCD and put it in the 46 UCD. 2. Just put the saito .72 in it and go with what I have, or 3. Buy a saito 91 or 100 and put it in the 46 UCD. I myself like to overpower my planes slightly. I'm just not sure if the saito .72 will satisfy my desires in this plane. I wish I could fly this plane with all three engines to make a more accurate decision on what I prefer. I personally wanted to have a primary plane with a four stroke in it. Most of my planes have two strokes in them, although I do have a couple four strokes which I do not fly too often. If I need to buy another engine, I understand but I definitely want to have enough power with this plane where I can confidently get myself out of trouble.

This is easy.

How did you like the UCD 60 with the 91fx??? If you like the power/weight then try the 72 in the UCD 46. If not, then put the 91 in the 46. If you want a bigger 4s then buy a Saito 100 and strap it on...

The UCD 46 hovers, pulls out, and does 3d very well when powered by a Saito 72 using 30% nitro fuel and APC 14x4W prop.

You indicated that you've read the UCD forums so you obviously know that all the engines you mentioned have been used in the UCD 46. Why do you believe that the answers you get in this new thread you've started will be any different from the answers in the other HUGE ucd threads?

Since all those other engines are bigger than the Saito 72 you can probably guess that they will overpower the model to varying degrees. Take your pick.

chem16,
You can see a video of newto3d's UCD 46 flying with an OS 91FX. Just click the link in the quote below.

eid,
I'm sorry I cannot reduce the size of the video because it is not my video nor is it my website and I have no connection with that site. I copied the link to that video from a posting here in RCU.
It seems that many huge video files are being posted without considering that most people do not have broadband Internet service.
