Default U Can Do 3D

Well, got mine out on Sunday in the breeze here (Denver area). Could not really tell a lot about the handling because of the wind. I had the CG at 5.5" for the first flight and the plane sure reacts to control inputs. I could tell that I need to add right thrust (a bunch) I needed full right rudder to hang the plane vertically. Man, with a little wind the UCD just floats down to the runway with a tail wheel first landing that is so cool looking. Engine started behaving strange and had no thrust (YS 120). Got it home and started looking and found a broken valve spring. Well, hopefully parts get here this week and then back out for more fun.
