I need to toughen my UC as well, broke for the 7th time today![:@][:@][:@][:@]

Ok flight report:

Got to the field and started her up. Got the damned thing flying!

Had a blast, tried some harriers (dodgy) walls (dodgy) and even a parachute (dodgy), the JEN pulled it OK but not as I expected, Im going to do some more work on that but who cares it flew.

I decided to eff around alot and get my confidence up, its worked so far, got out of a dodgy situation.

The UC broke, well the wood plate is twisted to be exact but it still needs repair. I think Ill need to have a proper think over the UC as its pissing me off BIG time now. Ill see where I can jam in some tri stock (off to My Hobbies now see ya)

Archie:Whats total cost of 3mm (fully threaded) rods again? including postage. I want to sort me alierons out proper.

Update: Got back from My Hobbies, with the Tri Stock aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, after alot of thinking and chatting, a Graupner 12.5 x 5 prop. I am also looking to try a 13 x 4W and a 12 x 6. The 13 x 6 pulled fine, but the thrust wernt in the right places.
