    Status: offline     		Hi guys..got my UCD yesterday and it looks pretty good except the wing is warped ...counter diehedral ways... I have some lead weight sitting on it now on my bench after taking a heat gun to it..hope it straightens out..also one aielron is really warped but should be able to take that out also with heat gun. Should have expected the first batch of arfs to have some flaws. I weighed all the parts (plane only) and came up with 71 1/2 OZ. so with the motor and radio gear I'm guessing about 7 to 8 lbs, about what they advertise for this plane. Ordering a YS91fz from Central tomorrow. should have it ready to fly in a week,,,later

    Status: offline     		Ran into another little snag with my UCD...no blind nuts in the firewall to mount the motor...only 4 of the 8 bolts were even long enough to go thru the engine mount so off to the LHS for some hardware...I decided not to spend anothe 300.00 on this plane for a motor so I'm putting my ST90 on it and see how it flys (before cutting the cowl of course) then if it dont cut it I'll pop for a YS91 or Saito 100. everything else about the plane looks pretty good. I must have gotton a newbie builder that built my wing. Ann Marie says an OS91fx or 91 four stroke flys the plane well. The OS91fx is supposed to have slighty more power than the 90ST but it weighs about 4 oz. more also...we'll see.

    Status: offline     		I noticed today that Tower has lowered their price on the U-Can-Do 3D from $199 to $189.

    They also changed their expected ship date from mid August to late November. :disappoin

    Status: offline     		Got it!

    And a .91FX. Any suggestions on the prop for this?

    Also, will standard BB servos be okay for the tail or should I use HD ones?

    Thanks!

    Status: offline     		Guess I got the first one off the assembly line...cut out the aielron bays and looked inside to find broken ribs...both sides...since I couldn't see inside any further I simply squeezed the other ribs and most of them on the left side of the wing were also broken...Good thing Great Planes didnt use transperent Monocote like Hanger Nine did on the US60 or they couldnt have let this wing slide by quality control..?? Not happy at all with my UCD 3d. Think I'm just going to fly it and see how long it lasts. Another good reason to buy from your local hobby shop..mite have been worth the wait in my case. :

    Status: offline     		Ron, may I suggest you shoot AMCross an email and she will sort it out for you. Great Planes has excellent customer service and I'm sure they will replace the wing if it's that bad.
