You guys will think I am crazy, but I have a 6 V system and I have that servo on my rudder. Never a problem. I have a really long throw arm on it and it holds like a mule.

I have to say,

I just came back from the airfield. I am back in love with my U-Can-Do. My boss wanted to see the plane fly, so with the new motor (Magnum .91) We decided to take lunch and run out. Winds from the south at 14 mph. This is the motor I had in the P-40, so it had not been run since the crash. Started up first thing, was like nothing had happened.
Taxi out, advance the throttle and the plane jumps back into the air. I had to keep the motor at about half throttle and backed it off of that a lot. Ton of motor for this plane. I knew I was in love when I pulled up, hovered and torque rolled for 3 revolutions. Seeing how this is approximately my 23rd flight in 25 years, I was pretty pumped. Having that mix of motor and plane makes all the difference.


For those running the OS or Magnum .91, what prop are you using? I had my three blade from the p-40 on just for giggles and that needs to change, I am going to buy some props, but I need to see what size and pitch is giving the ultimate thrust.

Thanks guys.
