Default U Can Do 3D .46 Main Wing Question

Just got my 46 UCD ... looks killer!

I bought fiber glass cloth to reinforce the main wing, but there is no joiner gap. As you all know, it is a one piece wing joined at the factory.

I LOVE to do snap rolls ... hard core snap rolls inside and outside. I see no way to reinforce the main wing.

Any issues with the wing snapping during hard core, fast snap rolls or other maneuvers?

Comments and recommendations welcome!

nope, we had a problem with the tail (elevator) sections c snapping off, but that was from guys with 4 channel radios who made a huge bend in one of the 2-56 pushrods.(they also flew 90 miles per hour) i would strongly reccomend that you DO NOT use standard servosand the supplied cot\ntrol horn-pushrod assemblies. i have 4 40 rods and sullivan metal horn things on mine.

P.S. It flies awesome with a YS .63!!!

thanx for the advice

i will be running an os 50 sx with mini tune pipe spinning a 12.25 x 3.75 apc prop. plan on going with 100 oz. torque metal gear servos on everything but the throttle. i hardly ever use the supplied push-rods. will go 4-40 with ball links and all metal arms and horns. i had a kangke fun 50 and it was a blast ... so much fun, i forgot that the os 50 sx will eventually run out of fuel (it did right in the middle of a prop hang at about 20 feet) ... d'oh!

easier to replace it with the ucd than it is to fix it ... it is now in the closet with my other winter project planes
