Default U Can Do 3D

Just came back from flying in a 20~25mph wind. Torque roll was spinning the other way around, it's weird, maybe the wind caught the wing. The plane was flying sideways in a cross wind when flying slow. I was hovering in front of me and it ended up 200ft down the runway, the wind just kept blowing it but she held up in a steady altitude. The hovering seems to be more stable at tail heavy setup. My CG is now at 6" from the leading edge and I think it can be moved some more. I will try 6-1/2". I'm using 20/20 on my Saito and only gained 150rpms from 15%. This is a lot of fun.

BTW, when I looked at the firewall, it seems to have a left thrust angle instead of right thrust. I had to add three washers to get the perfect thrust angle. Do you guys have this same problem with your UCD? Also this is the first time I used CA hinges cause I was to lazy to epoxy my pinned hinges, I hope I have luck with these. This is the fastest ARF I ever built, 6-1/2 hours.
