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

Well maidened the UCD. This .46 with a ST .45 and a 11.5x4 prop took off in no time
at all. Mine balanced at about 6in from the leading edge and I simply couldnt get it to
fly level. I didnt try much except for flipping the high rates on and doing a loop, whoa
the prop almost hit the tail.

I landed it perfectly on our paved runway with no bounce. Took a few times around because
it either wanted to climb or dive. Simply could not trim it for level flight. So I will
add some nose weight to make the c.g between their recommended range. The addendum
to the manual said 4 - 6" from the leading edge.

But its home in one piece, will get that changed and go out again maybe later this week,
it was a little cold today with a good 10 - 15 mph wind.
