RE: coming back to the game
That depends. Do you want to tear the wings off? Remember, it was designed for a .46. If you want "More Power" why don't you just get the .60 size? I had (yes HAD) a OS .75 in mine and loved it. To bad I let others talk me into trying 3D flying way beyong my skill level. Fat fingers make for bad landings !

RE: coming back to the game
My local guys can't get the 60-90 anymore. And if I was going to over fly the airframe I'd be doing wot dives with a 100 from what I have found. I may go with the saito 86 or so. Figured I'd just ask around. With bigger motors its all about throttle control and you will be fine. Remember its a big 4& compared to a normal say twist

RE: coming back to the game
things have changed.. Sadly the U can do has not .
granted the 40 size one fly's the best out of all of them but still is sub par
some thing's to have a heads up about on the u can do ..
1# rear stab loves to break
2# control linkage sub par at best it flex'es big time .. you might wana try aero light or some 4-40 if you can get it
3# poor landing gear design .. don't plan on bounce off the gear in a roller or doing harrier landings..
4# funky KE coupling .. you want a advance radio with P mixes so you can play with teh CG and still add a few mixes into the airplane to get as much coupling out as you can.. also you need the elvator to airlon mix .. just like the oldschool U line's the U can do shines best with that mix .
5# tail wheel is . kinda sub par
just my 2 cents on a U can do .. by all means have fun and fly the snot out of it just be aware of the downfalls

RE: coming back to the game
Thanks Zach. I'll definitely be redoing all of the listed during the build since I Havnt even begun the build yet. As far as mixing ill be giving futaba a shot this go round instead of the old faithful Jr 9303 so I'll take care of those too.
