Fred,

Would love to see a video of that climbing or hovering flat spin...sounds cool and will give me something to practice. What technique are you using to get it into the inverted flat and where is your CG?

Dave/Fred - didn't both of you read my ucando review? I covered the right thrust issue and control rods in detail to try & help you avoid those issues. http://www.rcuniverse.com/magcover.php These reviews are honest guides on these products. No sugar coating. Many of the tips and caveats I got from this thread but it is quite long (this will likely be post 510!) so the reviews can give you a good overall list of things to look out for without reading all 500+ posts if your in a hurry.

My U-CAN-DO still has the CG at 5" but my next project is to cut a hatch on the bottom of the fuse to move the battery back and mount it in there. I want to push it back to the 6" range myself as it seems this is where it is coming alive for most here.
