Default RE: u-can-do 60

I trimmed the wing down a little yesterday. I took the last 3-4 inches of the end of the wing to see how it would fly/ well actullay taking the tapered part off was faster than repairing the damage I did to them when loading them in the truck the other day.
Here is some UCD info for those that are intrested in talking about it. I did the mod Sat. flew it all day sunday. My post flight assesment is that the wing loading is too light in the origanal configeration out of the box. taking the tapered edge off to the first rib so that it is flat and flush produces a plane that can knife edge much better, harrier with much less violent wing rocking, knife edge spin much faster/tighter, and might even be able to call what it once did a "snap roll" a snap roll...but not as good as an edge for sure. I was getting to the point where i was getting bored with this plane and frustrated with its lack of UCD 3-D, but its a much better flier now....might fly it for a couple of more monthes before stipping it out!
