Default U Can Do 3D

Just got mine flying this past weekend and thought I'd pass along my experiences. Saito 100 with Cline regulator. I had to adjust the low end quite a bit for a reliable idle. Once I did that it ran GREAT! I have the Cline zip tied in the middle of the engine mount center hole (the hole in the base where the front of the fuel tank is supposed to come through.) I just drilled extra holes in the firewall for the fuel lines. I have the tank at c.g. Running a 15x6 but will try the 16x4 this weekend.

Little pitch coupling with "normal" knife edge passes. Quite a bit with "3D" rudder throws when doing a high alpha knife edge pass. I've got some mixing to do! Incredibly effective rudder at 3D rates, though.
