U-CAN-DO 3D .46 ARF | GPMA1269

Great Planes has recently released the U-CAN-DO 3D .46 (UCD 46) a smaller version of the very popular original, U-CAN-DO 3D .60 (UCD 60). The U-CAN-Do's were specifically designed with the novice 3D pilot in mind. And yet, if you are a sport flier, don't let the "3D" connotation lead you to conclude that these planes are solely suited for the hair-raising, death defying, maniacal machinations you might associate with 3D flying. These planes can be as wild or mild as you please. Some of the finest flying planes produced today are designed for the "Artistic Aerobatic" events which are becoming popular these days. In essence, these planes are 2-meter FAI pattern ships matched with large control surfaces for "Freestyle" maneuvers. 

The U-CAN-DO's combine light-weight construction, a constant chord wing, a thick symmetrical airfoil, large control surfaces and a long tail moment. The wing design and light weight allows the plane to fly very slowly, the large control surfaces are effective at slow speed, and the long tail moment provides extra stability and tracking.
