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

Got to go flying to day! Was tearing the sky up with the ucando!!!!! Getting the hovering thing down, and starting to look real pretty up there. I installed the flying wires on the tail and it helped out a bunch in the loops. Went in on a straight line and came out on the same line. Rolls are very sharp and pronounced with no tail wagging so far. Then something went wrong. Lost all throttle control. It was stuck at about a little over a 1/3 throttle and I was about 20 feet off the ground. Kept flying it in circles and trying to gain some alt. But I had only been flying for about 2 min. I just could not gain enough alt so kept flying for about 5 more min then set it on the ground and had to tip it on its nose to stop it. It made it down with no damage!!!!! Brought it back and took the wing off and the throttle servo tray broke loose. So going to get some square stock and beef up the tray and screw it in this time! But all in all, it was the best day flying so far for my ucando!
