Hi All,

Been reading this forum from end to end and now have my own UCD .46 experience to share. Maidened her today and boy does it fly nice. I've got an OS 70FS running a 14 * 4 prop and it's almost perfect.

I'm a beginner to RC, only been flying about 5 months and I reckon this plane is the easiest I've flown so far. I've only got two flights up but I can tell straight away that it's a keeper. I've got the CG at about 4.75" and there is quite a bit of coupling during rolls and a bit of down elevator required for inverted flight so I'm going to move the CG back about half an inch and see how we go.

I stuffed the battery pack under the fueltank and also used a MG servo for the rudder and I had to add a lump of lead to the nose for the initial flights. I'll take that out now that I know it's docile enough for me.

One question - if I try to laterally balance the plane it seems the left wing drops quite a bit - is this normal? I'd like to not add weight to the wingtip as it's fairly fragile.

Regards

Tony
