CeeGee GREAT Hangar!!!

Well Sat. morn before leaving for Vegas... I took the profile out to play a bit
and help clean/setup the field...... Was a Great morn...... Until [:@]
I was trying to do a low harrier(5').. I was way too slow and it was getting a
bit out of shape, So I blipped the throttle to strighten and nurse up to where
I was to pull into a hover, but as I cut the throttle back down came the nose
I was able to save it with no damage but I got the prop.. (Barry need help here)
Anyway I only had a bigger prop, I switched it and went up again slow spoolup
and the YS loaded on me at low throttle, but was running OK... On my last flt.
all was going great, So I came around in a K.E. at about 6' and was going into a
low hover, But as I was just going over our fence the YS started loaded up, so
I blipped the throttle and it seemed to clear, I dropped the wing to pull into a
hover in frt. of me, pull into the hover at about 4' and it was looking great into
the YS quit...*^%#@!.... Now I have two to repair, and one to put together....
Hey I still have the 4* for the funfly:-(... Well Good news.... I didn't run out od fuel

gjeffers...Let me get this straight...!>!?!?!>:L!<! I'm thinking of putting a 100 in mine because I need more power and you're thinking of putting a 82 in yours...because you need less power?? What's up with that? The ultimate UCD...Wow, I want to see that. Anyways, everyone I've built has been lighter than the one before. Also, I think I've done a better job on each one too. They are a lot of fun to build and fly.

raideron...Man, sorry about the profile. If you rebuild it right,....it won't be a profile anymore.
Are you down to one plane? When I'm down to one, I can't fly worth beans. Too conservative.

CeeGee...Nice home.

Those Tru-Turn spinner are super nice...Well, if you like heavy.

THanks
Barry

Big Do Down. Yesterday I was flying the big UCD. You know...the one with the 110 on it. I wasn't using my radio antana, I'm not sure why, but it got out of range and just sorta flew off into the sunset. I'm still looking for it.
Thanks.
Barry

It had a Higley prop hub on it.
Thanks
Barry

yea, nice hangar Rob, tell me again--whats all that stuff around your house, foilage?man, thats nice

know how that feels Ron, but its gonna be fun rebuilding,thats the attitude!!!and think if you can win that tournament[8D]

Barry, i know i know, but i had the 100 sitting there and couldnt afford a new engine, dont get it wrong now i think the 100 was great and may end up with it back in there but i think the 82 with my HEAVY spinner(.6 oz more than Robs nut)[&:] will have about the same pull being 6oz lighter, overall i think i can reduce it half a pound and that will mean float and 3d(my goal)and no fabbing the firewall will mean speed.

did you have your name in it Barry? where i live a burro would have to bring it back, if he could read[&:]

Found the UCD today. No much left of it. Must of went in on the right side. Doesn't appear to have damaged the engine or radio gear, but everything else is wasted.

Man, this hobby is killing me. I just can't keep airplanes. You'd think I'd get used to it, but it hurts everytime I lose one, especially a UCD.

This crash was unusal because no real pilot error, well other than I didn't raise my antanna. What a dope!!! I've learned a lot of stupid tricks,....the hard way.

Oh well, because of the red hot sale Tower had in August I just happen to have another UCD60 in a box. I'll probably build another one. I really liked mine with the 110. Man, that baby was a sweetheart. Don't know exactly when I'll get to it though. Maybe I'll do a radieron and not do it for a while. (ha ha) I would like to get it done before winter, about 4 more weeks. (GAG) Maybe I could come see you southern boys sometime in January. I'd need a UCD for that.

Been building a Harrier 3D. Just about done with it. But this most recent event took the wind out of my sails a bit. But I might have it done this weekend. It'll be fun to kinda compare it to the UCD. It looks pretty similar in many ways. Maybe it'll do a better KE. I'm putting a 110 in it too.

Well, good day to all. Hope your flying this week is better than mine.

Thanks
Barry

Barry Sorry about the UCD 60. They are a sweet plane. 46 is still tops for apperance. MOP Its so easy to make a mistake in this hobby. I've learned to put antenna up as soon as radio comes out of vehicle. We should make up a pre-flight check list and use it. I need all the help I can get. Don't know how Gary manages flying alone. I need someone watching me all the time. Landing gear fell off yesterday. Landing was OK. Nothing hurt. Gotta check those screws once and a while. A lot of vibration on UCDs. Lock-Tite next time.
Barry those YS 110s that good? Better than Saito?

Doug

The YS engines are not better than Saito. But the 110 is kinda in a class by itself. It produces approximately 30% more power than the Saito 100. It weighs about 7 ozs more so it isn't without a price. It's about the same as a Saito 150 in power but on the same frame as the Saito 100. It's an exact fit to replace the Saito 100. Makes it very attractive to say the least. The power it gave my 60 size was incredible. I loved it. And it made it a different airplane. It was very fun to fly. It also stops the dripping carb on the 60 because it is a pumped engine. Right now, they are the only engines I have. I'm gonna purchase a Saito 82/100 to go in my UCD46 as soon as gjeffers makes up his mind.

I do think the 46 flys better than the 60. But with the 110 in there is was very close.

thanks
Barry

I tell you... I get a 100 for the "Do"..... Now he want's light[:@]
Sorry about the 60 Barry...... Yeah... it's good to take a break[]
K I gotta get back to that..............

Funny, on my last flt. I took off with my ant. down.... I never do that...
I always double triple check all...... Guess that poker is taking it's toll[X(]

OK GUYS, now how do ya expect me to become a expert like you guys unless i fly this plane with most of the optional engines? im just trying to expand my mind, its hard out here in the desert with the SUN SHINING on my head all the time(not much shade left)[X(]

i still think itll be a daisy with the 82[8D]

After putting 10 or 12 flights on my new U-Can-Do 3D .46 I've decided to replace the Super Tigre G.61 (2-stroke) with a Magnum XL-70RFS 4-Stroke. I've read good reviews about the engine and I've watched several UCD's fly at our club with 4-stroke engines and I feel that type engine is better suited to the flight characteristics of the airplane. From the specifications, it looks like the mount bolt spacing is the same, so I won't even have to re-drill or replace the engine mount (how conveeeeeeeeeeenient!). Another plus is that my trusty G.61 can go into the airplane it really belongs in; the Killer Chaos I'm currently building.

-Kaos

ya know Doug, it does get boring sometimes and then i remember that if i want to hover right in front of me(when i can) i can, i could handle 2 or 3 people to come and fly but when the whiners and rules junkies come ill just quit!!!!, no i wont, ill run them off this is MY PLACE!!!!![>:]

Kaos.... On Mags and inverted engine positions..... Be careful.....
Mags are great engines..... upright..... And inverted if the tank is
close to the carb...... Or running a regulator........ But the inverted
Mag's I have seen, may start easy or OK... But gives low throttle
fits while flying if it's inverted and the tank position is not correct...

Gary.... you entice me to go, " Rip the wings off power hungry...
and now it's about "expert" "optional engines" [sm=confused.gif]
So did you really not like the S-100 on it..... You know I most
likely have a year before I get mine back together... Glue me in

Hey guys, Barry. It's not a home, it's a hangar and a prop sewing shop. Geeezzzz.....[:-]
Sorry to hear the crashes Barry and Ron. Yikes! Crashes usually spawn a new plane so at least there's something to look forward to.
I was wanting to fly yesterday. But noooooo..... It had to be rainy. [&o] Then I get to work today and it's perfectly sunny. [>:] Hopefully tomorrow.
Hey that's neat you're getting an 82 Gary. [8D] You'll love it. Mine has plenty of power. 82! 82! 82! [X(]

In regards to the U-Can-Do 3D .46, what would be the correct fuel tank position? The Magnum XL 70FS has a rear mounted carburetor, so I don't see how it could get much closer to the fuel tank.

Kaos

Kaos... It's really not how close to the tanks it is but it does matter, But
the height of the tank in relation to the carb. Ideally you want the outlet
of the tank even with the carb., it matters a little less with the engine upright....
Even (atleast the 2 I've seen) a 1/2 inch or more above the carb could/will
make a difference... The fuel will siphon to the carb. and tend to flood real
easy, making for hard starts and a bad adjusted engine since you will try
to lean it more on the ground and it will get leaner in the air... Not Good!!
And if you do get it started and running ok on the ground.. Most likely it
will dead stick on you while doing 3D "low throttle) flying since the carb at
the low throttle position will almost always flood out....
The above problem is less apparent with the use of Saitos and YS's, But
the Mag's like the tk/carb height as close as possible. Hope this helps...

Ok Ron, ill GLUE ya in, the 100 was greeeeaaaaaaaaatttttt and i loved it but i think that the 82 will be great also, remember i had the 100 already and im not rich so i made do and it was a great dooo toooo.he he he!!!! if i dont feel the same type fuuunnnn as with the 100 ill put it back and put the 82 in a twist or something else, that way ill have something to doto bad they dont make a 35 size do then i could overpower it to

thanks Rob, i needed support, i was thinking that Ron and Barry were gonna get me but they will come around(i hope)[X(]

Go Gary! , Go Gary! , Go Gary!! You'll love it, the 82 has lots of power. [X(] The 82 is spectacular in a Twist too. [X(]

Just kidding......... I'm glad no one takes me seriously 90% of the time......

Kaos : I have a Mag 91 four stroke in my UCD 46. I use a 14 - 4W APC prop. I had fits with it inverted. I ended installing it at 90 deg. and have never looked back. Line up the center of the tank with the center of the needle valve as best you can. I had to cut away some of the wood where the tank goes and then add what ever was needed. By the way Tower has a sale on the 91 FS for $169.00 less $20.00 with Sale # ??? This makes it very attractive to me.

Hi guys, i would like to get one for a Webra 50 i have laying around! Any experience with this engine?
Thanks
Alex

Thanks Gary........ I was just wondering how it would affect the floating of the
"Do"... flying and on dead sticks?? With the 100 verses the YS-63.... the YS
was great, but the heat took it's toll in the summer... and for some reason I
never went to the smaller prop only the wood of the same size.. Thanks.....
I need to be glued in... matter fact I think two planes need it also...... Tell me
about $$$$$.... My adviser keeps tell me I need a part-time:-( Told the boss
it was too early to do it........... No not that

Dam online games.....

Hey Ron, Have you got the profile re-done yet? I've been flying the OMP Katana and having a ball with it. [X(] Very fun plane......[8D]

yea Ron, no part time, thats bad voo-doo, no can do,he he!!

im doing a demo job right now with my job and get a big "can do" bonus at end of job plus pay so thats all im waiting for and itll pay for the best Do i can build so im going for it, and the "Advisor" gets the other half[]ive backed off the edge for now cause of the untimely death of my super Do, but it shall return[>:]

Anyone here have any experience with smoke systems? I'm thinking of installing one in my UCD 3D.46. I see that a company called TME and also Perry make smoke systems for RC models. Is it worth the trouble? I've only seen one RC model with a smoke system at our local field and I must say that it was very impressive; sort of like being at a full-scale airshow.
