Well my UCD is finally ready for its maiden. AUW is 5lbs 15.7 ounces. Saito 91 15x4 wide, 2 futaba 9405 servos on the tail, 3010's on the ailerons and a mini on the throttle. redundant RX packs, 1650 5 cell and 720 5 cell. JR R900s pcm receiver. robart super ball link control horns and central hobbies carbon pushrods. the plane balances at 4 3/4" with the batteries under the pilot, and no other weight added. Kevlar thread covered in heat shrink tubing as a tail brace, .014x.25x48" carbon tape glued on the wing to cap the spars. reinforced aileron servo mounts and ribs. glassed the firewall and landing gear block, reinforced the wing nut plate. replaced the wing hold down dowell with a piece of brass tubing with a carbon tube inside of it. The World Models fuel filler valve, dubro pin style hinges, pinned with alum tubing. removable rudder. polished landing gear, dubro tailwheel bracket. i re-covered it, so i was able to go over every glue joint with thin CA.

Should fly just fine, and it should hover at about half throttle.

What control throws are you guys using on low rates? my high rates are 40 degrees on the ailerons and 50 degrees on the tail.
should i set low rates up according to the manual? or will it be fine turned up a bit withsome expo? im used to flying insanely overpowered electric 3D planes, and most of the time i dont even set up low rates, just expo.
