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

Hey Guys,
I ran 21 calls yesterday-4 after midnight, raced home, got all my flying stuff in the truck, ran out to the field & guess what? No one there. I guess the club took sunday off. So I had the entire field to myself, well there was that squadron of mosquitos( the kind that bite ). Plowed my foamie into the ground, & no glue anywhere. So up went the UCD. Still trying to get my KE passes straight. It tucks I mix in a % or two of ele and it pulls. So back and fourth I go. Just can't seem to get a clean KE pass going. Got tired of that, so went for the fun stuff. Flat spins, oh yeah. On one of them I almost became a certified FS qualified landing UCD pilot. My pullout was at 5', I'm usually a 20 foot chicken, but my roll-out was a-little on the late side. Pucker facter=10. So up for some harriers, upright & inverted. Getting low on the old fuel time to land. Well after getting the thumbs all worked up I figured time to go get caught up on some sleep.

Finally read the entire Showtime thread. I see most of the regular UCD guys over there. Guess I might have to join in, sounds like a great plane. It's going to have to wait until some of the hangar is thinned out. I have four planes for sale, so maybe soon.

Well SPUDs out........see ya
