U-Can-Do 60

About

The U-Can-Do 60 is the larger sibling in the Hangar 9 U-Can-Do product family — a sport-aerobatic ARF (Almost Ready to Fly) airframe from Horizon Hobby that has been a staple of the intermediate-aerobatic flying-field segment for many years. Like every well-loved sport-aerobatic ARF, it earns its place by being light enough for honest aerobatic figures, strong enough to absorb the bumps of intermediate flying, and simple enough to assemble in a long evening at the workbench.

The .60-size class refers to the 0.60-cubic-inch (about 10cc) glow engine that powers it — a step up from the .40 class that gives the airframe more presence at altitude, a richer engine note, and more headroom to climb out of mistakes. The simulator configuration uses an O.S. .91 four-stroke for power, which gives the model a satisfying musical engine sound and the kind of throttle response that makes prop-hangs satisfying.

The bigger picture is the category itself. Sport-aerobatic .60-class ARFs — whether Hangar 9 U-Can-Do, Funtana, Ultra Stick, or competing designs from rival brands — are the workhorses of the typical flying field's intermediate fleet, and many modern foam-and-balsa ARFs sold by online RC retailers take their proportions and flying character directly from this size class.

In the simulator

A confident sport-aerobatic mount. The U-Can-Do 60's larger wingspan and more substantial inertia translate to more deliberate 3D figures — you have time to read what the airplane is doing, and the four-stroke engine note adds character to every hover and torque roll. Use it for the intermediate aerobatic vocabulary: knife-edge passes, slow rolls, hammerheads, and the inverted figure-eight. Pairs well with grass strips and any field with room for a low pass at the deck. A natural step up from the U-Can-DO 40 in this same pack, and a substantial step beyond the Decathlon from the Aerobatic Trainers pack.
