Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

How do I put into words. WOW! YIPEE! Yowzers!

I just took my UCD46 out for the first time and it was great. It is my first 3D plane and I love it. There was a pretty brisk quartering crosswind blowing, but I was determined. I do not have alot of money so this is a budget outfit right now. I have 6 standard Airtronics servos on it, programmed in with my RD6000, and an OS 46FX with a 12x6 prop. I was waiting for a 12 1/4x 3 3/4 prop, but it is not here yet. I had to add a bunch of weight to the front, and it came in at 6.75 pounds. It flew absolutely awesome. This doesn't say much since it is my first, but it was exhilarating. It was very stable and like my instructor said !QUOT!It will just about kiss the ground it lands so smooth.!QUOT! I played around with it on high rates and felt like I had accomplished something. I could not get it to knife-edge well, but I am still new to this and think that I will get it down soon. Thanks for all the support you guys have given here. Does anyone have any ideas of how to reduce my weight in the tail?
