Default U-Can-Do 3D Airplanes

What would be the best motor for a 60 size ucando. Right now I have a O.S. 90 FX. It hovers really well. What other motors could i put on there. I acutually saw a 60 size with a G23 gas motor on it. I could not believe it.
I am fixing to get a 46 size ucando. what would be the best motor for it.
Thanks

don't blast for da post but if you like gassers a rcs 140 works good for some i run a satio 150 on mine and a satio 100 on the 46 size make sure your 46 wing has no wrinkels in it before you get it

I have a U CAN DO .60 with a four Stroke OS .91. If it is hovering well then it obviously has the power you want. Why do you want to change??? I think from the 50 bozillion posts I have read that the Saito 100 or YS 100 class are the ultimate engines. On the 46 size I think the OS .70 FS or a YS Saito four stroke of similar size would be a great choice, I have seen them fly well with that size engine. But, run the most powerful with the least weight and most dependable engine you can afford. I love the OS because in my experience they start easily, run reliably and have great power. I have on deadsticked once on my new OS .91 surpass w/o pump and it was my fault it happened.

saito 100GK. I have seen many u-can-do's, my boy had a ys 120 in one, too much weight. a freind of mine has a YS 110 in one, not a bad choice. couple others have 100's in em. 2-strokes not bad in them, but of all the 3d things I have flown, I prefer the saito's. and the 100 is a hoss- and light.

by the way, been flying since 76, I am not a parrot but speak from experience! currently flying this, with saito 72 g.k.; sig profile ultimate, scratch built fuse, 4 lbs. and does the STUFF! got a 100 for x-mas, building a giles for it ( currently in a razzle with NO rudder authority in hover) so, ask around- but the 100GK is it!

My vote goes for the YS110. I'm running a YS91 on my UCANDO 60 and it has plenty of power.

Hi,

I'm running a YS 110 in the UCD 60 and IMO, it was the right choice.

Regards,

the deal is you can't fly good enough to need to. but if you ever get good you will see. some things need the power[X(]
