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

Hey guys, I have been gone from the UCD46 forum for a while but now I'm back and I just got my UCD46 #2 last Saturday. The first one I had shed it's tail feathers (elevator stab) at about 3-4 mistakes high. About 200 feet up I guess. I lost elevator and it went strait into the ground. God I will never forget that. Anyway, it was it's first flight and I wasent even around my first pattern.(prolly no more than 30 seconds of flight) It kinda sucked but hey, maybe I did somthing incorrect in the build. I dunno. I'm going to redo this one a little different from the first one. I used du-bro pinned hindges on all surfaces and I did not use any tail braces at all on the first one. I wanted too but someone talked me out of it.

This round will be a little different with CA hindges and sullivan tail brace kit. I am using the same saito .72 on it swinging a pro-zinger 14-4 prop.

So far I have all the surfaces put on and the tail brace kit installed. I will post pics tomorrow of the tail.

Great info on this forum guys!!!!
