Hello everyone, my name is James and I am a 3Daholic. I will be purchasing a UCD 3D and YS 91 today. I have waded through most of this thread and am very much looking forward to expanding my flying skills with this combination. Thanks for all the valuable input so far and I hope I can contribute in some way myself in the future.
"Hello James" the large group of 3DA members say...
You're gonna love the plane James. Now...
Beef up the former that holds the wing dowels and landing gear block with tri-stock both sides and a flat piece of ply, inside, across teh landing gear block area. Maybe even double the holes with ply-discs.
You may want to beef up the landing gear... they're real flimsy... I put a spring between mine and it help tremendously.
No need to modify the tank location with a YS... it has a pump, tho you may wish to move the tank to CG right from the get go.
Find some rigid plastic tubing the same size as the wing bolt opening (or make something up) and glue them around the holes in the wing and bellypan... them bolts are a PAIN in the butt to get to, etc... making these "bolt sleeves" will make it MUCH easier to put in and take out those bolts...
