Default U Can Do 3D

You can also take some clear monokote, ultracote (preferred over monokote due to the lower temp), or even clear packing tape to seal the hingeline. I am using the CA hinges, but have sealed everything with clear monokote (neighbor had some, if I were to do it again, I'd get the ultracote).

I maidened mine today, and all I can say is WOW, WOW, and WOW!!!!!!! My 80 four stroke is going to find a home on something else. It has over 1/1 power to weight, but just not enough for me to be comfortable. I have a 91 2 stroke on the way.
I need to add alot more right thrust, I think mine was one of the ones that shipped with left thrust. I may add a degree of downthrust as well. I think I am still a bid noseheavy (I estimate I'm at 5 1/2" right now.


The rudder on this thing is amazing. I think this plane will do a double hammerhead from hover to hover, with enough engine on it (Hope to find that out next weekend).

After flying it today, I am convinced the CanUDo3d is a dehydrated Dioblotin XL. It's just a shrunken version. They fly so similar, and so slow and manuverable. I would highly recommend this plane to anyone.

Here are a couple of pics from the field after the maiden.


GOT THROW?????
