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

Yeah, with all the stiching I do I should have been a doctor. But, then again, maybe I wouldn't have the time to fly.

CeeGee...Ya, the Mayhem is impressive. A lot of plane for the money. I used all the stock hardware and was very pleased. I didn't use the pull/pull rudder though and moved the rudder servo to the tail and made a carbon fiber rod for that. Oh and I changed the axles. Apparently, I'm the only person on the face of the planet that had one fail. But I did, on the 5th flight the axle broke and the wheel fell off. Made for an interesting landing. But as slow as this plane lands I just harriered in and let it plop down. No damage. None. Didn't even kill the engine. You will not believe how slow the Mayhem will fly. It makes the UCD seem fast. And it's the best flat spinning plane on the market. The best. Kinda like a bid Twist only better.

Flew my 46 5 times today. The weather was unseasonalbly good. 68 degrees and if there was any wind I couldn't even tell from which direction. Had a ball. Just sorry I had to quit. I got the thing trimmed out pretty good and the flat spins are coming back. And my hovers are real decent now. Basically I can hover this plane as long as I want. Got some great waterfalls today. And I had a low (at least for me, I'm no gjeffers) 15' inverted pass. This plane flys absolutely neutural for me. No stick inverted or upright. Seems the waterfalls are better on the repaired 46 and the flat spins a little worse. But I'm adding spoilerons to get the spins flatter and pinwheel like. After what I've been flying all summer, this is a ball. Very relaxing and inspiring. I really enjoy these planes. I really do. My jaw hurts from grinning all day.

Well, talk with you guys later.

Thanks
Barry
