Here is another review for the Ukey. I just received my Ukey 35. The model is mostly assembled. All I have to do is epoxy on the wings, install the leadouts and landing gear, and bolt on the engine. The wing and horizontal stabilizer came covered in orange iron on plastic covering. The fuselage and rudder are painted orange to match. Everything is clean and neat. It comes with a nice single wheel landing gear. The bellcrank, pushrod, and control horn are already installed and elevator is hinged. The box it was delivered in was in excellent shape and all the parts were well packed. The Ukey 35 cost $60 plus $10 shipping. I also opted for the fuel tank which was an additional $10. I am very impressed with this model. I rate it a 9 or 10 on a scale of 1-10. I will post again once I have it assembled and ready to fly.:7
What will you be using for power? This would be a nice match for an OS-LA 25 or perhaps the new Brodak 25.
We have the Fox 35 in ours but I'm flying the U-Key 40 with an OS-FP 25. About the only thing you can mess up on one of these would be to glue the wings on crooked. Our 40 version has a slight dihedral which I only noticed AFTER we got airborne. Still flies pretty darned well...
I have a Fox 35 that I plan on using.
Today I assembled my Ukey in about 2 1/2 hours and I flew it for the first time this evening. It assembles easy since all the real work is done already. Two things I would recommend. Use 30 minute epoxy to allow yourself more adjustment time when you glue the wings onto the fuselage. The Ukey comes with music wire for the leadouts. I ditched these in favor of the usual steel braided lines. Flying was as easy as the assembly. The Ukey jumps in the air on take off. The lines has a little slack on take off but the Ukey quickly recovered on its own. It was breezy today so I think the wind may be the blame. My outboard wing tip flew higher then the inboard wing. The instructions give you a tip on how to correct this by use of a trim tab. I will have to do this. The Ukey appears to be very responsive to up and down elevator. The loops I did were nice and round. When the engine quits the Ukey glides real long and floats to the ground. I am using a Fox 35 with a 10-6 Master Airscrew prop. So far I like the Ukey a lot and it is a big improvement over my old Sterling Yak 9 that I have been flying all summer.
