RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
I just got the ucando46. it went together real easy. mounted a os 50 sx on the front, with a apc 12.25 by 3.75 prop, it will hang on the prop at 1/2 throttle.
Took it out flying, i'm still seating the new engine. Got the plane up and trimmed out. Did some inverted flight ,rolls,and the basic stuff. Brought it back down refueled and checked things out it check out ok. Took the plane back up 3 more flights. Started to do some torque rolls it fell out of the torque roll, throttled back and applied up elevator and the right stab and right elevator broke off!!!! Got the plane down ok it landed in a bean field I managed to keep the wing level when it went in at a slow speed. After getting the plane back to the truck, I looked it over, the stab broke about 1-1/2 inch out from the fuselage... I lokked at the other side of the stab it was also broke in the same area. Got it home and did a detailed look, what I found was disturbing!!!
The bulsa was real soft and weak!!!!!!! I glued it back together and reenforced
the bulsa. Apllied new monokote when that was done, I installed a tail wire system from sullivan. I hope that will hold things together!!!
