Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

^ Hey thanks alot! Ive been flying Spads, Pylon racers, trainers, and warbirds all in the .40-.46 size range and just thought i should give 3D a try..... Ill keep these things in mind when I fly it tomorrow. The only problem I had with the .46 is that the cowl was to long for the engine to even think about fitting. I put about an inch and a half of plywood spacers between the firewall and motor mount and it fits just fine now. I test ran the engine and found that sounds like it vibrates ALOT in idle (which it really doesnt but it might just be the way the wing was built), but after 1/4 throttle, the vibration noises dissapear and it sounds smooth. Im getting really excited and a little nervious about flying it for the first time, but I think I can handle it. Ill let you guys know how everything goes!

p.s. I lowered the low rates on the ailerons because it just seemed too much for low rates, they throw about an inch in each direction now.....
