flip the motor on U can Do 3d 46
Has anyone flipped the motor around on a U Can Do 3d 46? After ripping my landing gear out a couple of times, I coverted it to nylon bolts for break away purposes. Yesterday I placed a saito 91 on it and flew like a mad man on the maiden flight (used to have a 50sx O.S. motor on it). But on the second flight, i took off, got about 10 feet off the ground, into the wind, and and came down at a 30 to 45 degree angle. The landing gear broke off perfetly. The saito with its big head drug the ground and pulled the firewall out. I ended up building a new firewall and mounted the motor up right. I centered the motor instead of to the right (if your looking at the front of the plane). Will the right thrust hurt me? I'm running a 15x4w prop. I'm not good at 3d yet but I enjoy just flying the plane. With this motor, there is no end to vertical climb. I couldn't believe the power of this combo! After the maiden flight, I had to fly one of my SPADs to settle my nerves!
