Great Planes U-Can-Do

The Great Planes U-Can-Do is a radio-controlled model airplane specifically engineered for 3D aerobatic flight. This means it is designed to perform extreme maneuvers like hovering, torque rolls, and harriers that mimic full-scale aerobatic aircraft. Its large control surfaces provide massive authority at both high and low speeds.

ARF stands for "Almost Ready to Fly," which is the kit format of the Great Planes U-Can-Do. This means that the major components of the airplane, such as the wings and fuselage, come pre-built and covered. The builder only needs to install the motor, radio equipment, and linkages before flying.

The standard .60 to .90 size Great Planes U-Can-Do is typically designed for two-stroke glow engines in the .60 to .91 cubic inch range, or equivalent four-stroke engines and electric motors. This provides the massive vertical thrust required for extreme 3D aerobatics. Pilots often choose engines on the higher end of the range to ensure the plane can easily pull out of a hover.

The U-Can-Do features a thick wing airfoil and a wide stance that make it very forgiving and resistant to stalling. This makes it an excellent platform for pilots looking to transition from basic sport flying into extreme aerobatics. Its symmetrical wing allows it to fly equally well right-side-up or upside-down.
