RE: U Can Do 3D
I just ordered a UCD 3D 60 size for winter flying. I fly giant scale 3D planes and wanted to keep my thumbs tuned through winter (4-5 months) . I have an OS 120 FS I will use on the UCD 3D 60 and wanted to know if any one used this plane/engine combo and how well it flew? I have seen guys using the YS 140DZ which weighs a few oz more than the OS 120 FS, but they did not say how well it 3Deed. Can the Ys 140DZ set up guys post their views as well.

RE: U Can Do 3D
just flew mine for the first time today and all i can say is what a peice of crap.
just kidding. first flight i almost crashed it because it was so squirly.
i then landed and check my cg with my good friend and we decided to move it forward abit.
was at 6 now is at 5 1/2 with a half a tank of fuel.
didn't think cg would make that much of a difference.

i have a ys140dz on mine only put 1/2 oz of lead in tail. you haft to put about 3 deg. of right thrust . you will have a blast with the 120 on it. a friend at our club has one with os 91fx that has a lot of power.

RE: U Can Do 3D
Does anyone have a suggestion for how to route the fuel lines on the U Can Do w/ a YS 120? Do I need a third line or can I splice a T into the fuel line to the fuel button?

RE: U Can Do 3D
Birdy, I've got a YS110 plumbed up with only the fuel line and the pressure line. I tee'd into both and ran the lines down and out the bottom of the cowl. I fastened them with velcro so they don't hang out but are accessible when I fuel. I pull one dot to vent then pull the other to fuel up. I've decided to clamp the fuel entrance to the motor before I fuel because some of the pump pressure is forcing fuel into the engine and overflowing from the carb. Makes a mess I'd rather not have. Don't forget to vent after flying or the same thing can happen. You can barely see the lines in this pic. I'd take another but it's in the Jeep and to nasty outside to go get it.

RE: U Can Do 3D
People who promote the use of fuel dots instead of filler valves never seem to mention what "I & C Tech" discovered. That when you fuel through a tee'd fuel line the fuel flows both ways out of the tee, toward the tank and toward the engine thereby overflowing the carb. I currently use a Sullivan filler valve to fill the tank and have been hoping to find a simpler way to do it. It appears that fuels dots are not the way to go.

RE: U Can Do 3D
This is the best fuel method I have found. The "Kwik Fill" fueling valve by Dubro. Part#334. It just splices into the fuel supply line. When you insert the supplied fuel niple it automatically shuts off the flow to the carb. Pretty slick. They sell a mounting bracket to mount to the firewall (wood) but its just as simple to use a piece of aluminum angle. You can also mount it right on the fuse. Joe
