Never flown one, don't know anyone that owns one. I would think that it would be a bit much for a second plane though, even on low rates.
IMHO.

I've flown one. Not sure if it could be your second plane, maybe a third, depends on your abilities. I can tell you this much, it flys very smooth and can glide on a dead stick for a mile.

Definitely put something else between that and your trainer...Maybe a Fourstar, Tiger 2, or a Stick.

Don't move too fast!

I don't know about the .46 but I am currently flying its big brother, if you keep the the low rates reasonable it flys better than my trainer.

i am trying to find a second and not sure what i want yet. too many to choose from, but i don't want another highwing

You would be better off getting the Sig Somethin' Extra and then the UCD. The UCD is not built strong enough for the inevitable beginner mistakes. A few bounces and it would be destroyed. The Sig is a little over-built and still a tremendous flying plane.

DO NOT GET IT. DO NOT GET IT. my friend did it CRASH. i am telling you it is way way to big of a jump. even on low rates that thing is crasy. and remember if it says 46 it needs a 60. but if you got the money to gamble have fun. but you could do a buddy box for a while on low rates and get use to it. my friend crashed his today literaly today. if fluttered and wham! he needed stronger servos and he had 3004.
i hope it helps i suggest a great planes super sport that is my second plane i am still flying. or a sig somthing extra

bye

My opinion (due to a limited hobby budget):

1. Fly the snot out of the trainer. If you cannot do rolling circles with your trainer then you have not flown it enough. People think trainers are only used to learn to fly...they can do more...

2. Then go buy anything you want.

or....

do what is probably the more common approach.....that is, fly the trainer a for a while, then move up to the next plane (like a stick), the the next...and so on.

Either way is cool.

IMHO, I think people move up waaayyyy tooooo faaassstttt....they want to fly those "cool" planes asap (forget about stick time...due diligence...).

The U-can-dos are good flying planes, but they are NOT designed to fly straight and level at full power. If you do, you can expereince all kinds of bad things, including having the tail break off in the air (happend to one at my field, and another guy found cracks). They aren't overbuilt like many planes, so they can be easily damaged. But if you reinforce the tail area, and fly it gently, it should be fine.
