Somone have a Ucan do 60 with a 120 2S??? and how it works??

Thanks!

that's a heavy engine............

it will pull up the plane very well, but you will be in trouble to balance in my opinion. If all your gain in power is lost in lead it's not very usefull

use a saito 100 withan APC 15X6 prop , It will have unlimited vertical. Also start out with about a 1/16 inch washer behind the right side motor mount (as your looking at the plane) to account for right thrust. While climbing vertical , What the characteristics of the plane on which way it pulls and you can move your spacing around to account for this. This makes this plane a very good plane to practice hovering.

thank guys for the comments, the 120 2s Weight 32.7 oz. and the saito 100 19.4 oz, now i see its a considerably diference. well... i have to wait for buy a saito 100 or a YS 110.

Regards.

well guys, i got a u can do myslef, except its the .46 size, i put a .72 saito in it.. pulls out of a hover nicley!! cant wait to go flying agen!!!

Hello guys , iv been really wanting a u can do, and i need need some questions to be answered for me........i wanna get the .60 and I'm wondering what engine is perfect for it.....something that will pull it out of a hover at a good rate....but not something to over power it ridiculously....I'm thinking maybe the Y.S 91...OR THE 1.10.....please answer..... thanks

ys 110 just right. its not over powered at all.

I agree The YS 110 works great.

YS 110 and never look back. The right engine for the UCD .60s true potential. Good luck, Joe

Great, so you guys fly with the YS 1.10 in your 60? and you like it allot, can you pull out of a hover at a pretty good pace? And can the YS 1.10 fit on the stock engine mount, or does this involve changing the blind nut positions on the firewall to fit a bigger engine mount? Also just to make sure that the YS 1.10 engine we are talking about, is the new YS FZ-110 that took place of the 91 correct? also whats the street price around this engine, i saw on one sight it was $323.87 does that sound about right? thanks

Thats the price and it will fit the stock engine mount. It requires 4 degrees right thrust. I drill the mount and tap them out and simply screw the engine mount screws into the mount arms eliminating any locking nuts. Holds fast and will never vibrate out. My UCD .60 weighs 8# 6.4 oz. and will hang @ 1/4 to 1/3rd throttle with a 16/6 APC. That leaves 2/3rds throttle range for pull out. With the pressurized system you get the option of placing the tank on the CG. The only place to be. Nice part is, once seated and dialed in correctly, you will have THE most hassle free, dependable engine out there. Fuel, start, fly. Check out the YS Club thread in 3D flying. There's lots of good info and great people willing to help. Good luck, Joe

thanks allot

I just wanted to say I had been asking people about harrier and the ucd 60. I finally got it. I put a 17x4W apc prop on my ucd 60 with ys 1.10 (5.5 cg) and it flew like a different plane!!! I had been flying 16x4W and 16x6. My least favorite was the 16x6 as it just seemed to be wiggly in 3d. The 16x4 seemed to be under proped and I was getting 10,500 rpms with it. I did not tack the 17x4W, but, it was amazing in flight. The hover would set in and I could just hold it forever. I got into a harrier having nevered harriered before (used full spoileron mix tied to elevator) and I was able to just drive it around with my rudder like a car. Could go higher, lower, staight.. ANYTHING. LIke a dream. Went up one end of the runway and turned around and came back down the other in harrier the full time. I am not saying I am a great flyer b/c.. I am not.. it was really like driving a car.. EASY!!

I biffed the landing and ate the prop... Very next flight I put the 16x6 on it and could barely hang it!! What is up with that!! I was in the process of doing an elavator wiggling around with the 16x6 and my engine died and I biffed the whole front of the plane.. could not get it out of the stall fast enough.

Has anyone else had this much of a radical change in 3d characteristics with the change of a prop? I am not posting this in regards to what cumn thru says with his combo. I was going to post and just read that. He seems to be very experienced and I really am not. I'm sure his combo works great. Makes me wonder though if you have tried the 17x4W cumn thru and what you thought of it (if you like the 16x6 better). and I would be curious if anyone else has tried this too (17x4w).. AMAZING.

c016Y, you have just lit the fire. I have a 17/4 APC sitting on my balancer for two months now and just never got around to completing the balance. I picked it up when I ordered the 16/4. After reading of your success, I will balance and install today with a test flight tonight, weather permitting. You may have found what I've been looking for, I just couldn't figure out what was lacking. Complacency=stagnation. Later, Joe

I forgot to mention, my condolences on your mishap. Now fix it and get back on that horse.

Yeah.. my excitement level on flying in general just went up 10 fold... I can't sleep at night and want this thing back up in the air!!!

Joe,

I am using the APC 17x4w on my UCD w/ YS 1.10 and have to say it is awesome!

Matt

Hey guys I have a 46 with a fs70 in it. I have the control surfaces and the c.g. set right acording to the manual, but it's very hard to keep it pionted straiit up for a hover. Where do you guys have your c.g.? Any tips or help would be much appritiated

contempo.. had you flownt he 16x4W or the 16x6 apc props? Did you notice a big difference in stability from those and the 17x4W? Like... hover trying to fall out and a lot of twisting until you put the 17x4w prop? Basically.. I think the difference is I was getting the same pull at lower rpms and had less torquing? Is that possible?

iv been trying to find an APC 17x4W on the Internet for a long time now........where do you guys find your APC 17x4W? please let me know.....thank you

Squirt, go to www.apcprop.com Good luck.

Speaking of the 17/4 prop, I finally finished balancing and got it on board. WHOA!!!!! Its like putting my truck in low range. I see what you mean about it settling right in to a harrier, even on low rates and will bite into a hover right off. Still, I see alot of stick time to get used to this. Everything is way different with a +. I'll get it back out tonight if the winds quit. Joe

ok thanks allot, i don't know how many times i tried to find it on that sight....but i guess my eyes skipped over it with all those props....also on more thing......is there a number for that sight that i could call to order it? thanks {i cant find that either!!, im an impatient kinda guy}

Exactly.. it made my harriers easier too.. but.. I could not seem to ke spin and flat spin as well... or at least.. not in the usual way. I don't know if it was b/c I changed props or transmitters b/c I did them both at the same time, but, I thought I set my transmitters up the same. Let me know if you have this same side affect.

Hello guys, i have a question for you.......I was going to put a YS FZ 1.10 in my U CAN DO 60 until i found out they were all out of stock till the end of October.....well i have a chance to get a YS 1.20 for cheap....what do you guys think about that? i don't think it would be that much overkill.... do you?.....my question is if it would fit on the stock engine mount......and stock firewall on the U CAN DO 60? does anybody have any idea....thanks

Anybody flying a UCD at altitude (me: 5280') What prop are you using? I've had good but not great luck with a 15 X 4 W APC...

at 5200 here apc 15x6 o.s. 91 30% nitro
