RE: MVVS Engines..

Hi Dar,

Long time since this post :)

I've been running the .45 constantly all through our summer and it is running really well. I'm going to get the larger carb for it so I can coax a few...

RE: MVVS Engines..

I also have a .45 and a .91 MVVS - I ran them both in using Dar's method and the .45 is now running very well indeed. I am using it in a Sonic 500 pylon model and it turns 14,000 revs on a 10 * 6 or...

Hi Charles,

RE: What Classic Are You Flying?

I've just bought a Loaded Dice (original not the second series) to which I'm fitting a YS .91AC. Anyone have any comments on this model? I'm very new to pattern but most people in my club say this...

RE: New Spa3d

Well - I flew the beasty today. Needed lots of down elevator and several clicks of right aileron. Got her down and added some down thrust to the engine and some weight to the left wing and now...

New Spa3d

Hi All,

Here are some pictures of my new Spa3d. I've made a couple of minor changes - I used a square balsa leading edge inside the folded over coro due to using 5mil (it's all we can get in...

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

I love my OS70 4S in my UCD. It has plenty of power though I'm not hovering or doing any of those crazy stunts yet but you gotta love the instant power of the 4S.

I flew my bird more today to...

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Gjeffers and Raideron,

When I installed the cowl the nose of the engine was just touching the left side of the cowl. I've now added a little right thrust and the engine is now more or less in...

I flew several more flights today and I am really enjoying this plane. You guys are right - it makes me look a lot better than I really am :)

I'm trimming the model currently and...

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Hey Goldenclan,

I'm using the standard JR 600MaH battery under the fuel tank. I've taken some weight out of the front now so I should be on about 5" I reckon. I'm flying tomorrow so we'll see...

Thanks Raideron. I'm actually a practicing pattern flyer and I bought the UCD to practice pattern. I figure it should fly most pattern type stuff nice and slow and when I want to get into 3D I can...

Hi All,

Been reading this forum from end to end and now have my own UCD .46 experience to share. Maidened her today and boy does it fly nice. I've got an OS 70FS running a 14 * 4 prop and it's...

RE: Great Planes Tiporare – Thirteen Year Build

Hi 8178,

RE: Spad Extra

I fitted an Enya 80 2 stroke and it wasn't overpowered. Mine was quite heavy for some reason but it flew OK. My wings were not exactly straight so it wanted to turn most of the time but it...

RE: My new Spad - an Extra

Hi All,

I test flew the extra today and it flew great!! I had to trim it a little but no problems overall. It weighs just under 3 Kg - about 6.5 pounds I guess. I noticed the engine has a...

RE: My new Spad - an Extra

Hey all,

Nope - haven't flown it yet. Having a problem with the dowels I use to pull the wings in tight against the fuse. Most likely won't fly her for a couple of weeks yet but I'll...

RE: Spad Extra Wing Modification

RE: Spad Extra Wing Modification

Hi Omaha,

That looks like the way to go with the spar - I'm mounting the wing to the fuse at the moment the "old" way and it can be a little tricky to get everything lined up properly. I'm not...
