Doug, I have a couple of wing tips sections from a crashed plane. I could remove the ribs and send you a couple. Would that help?

rclement
Yes that would help. Give me a cost for ribs and shipping and I will send you a postal money order. Use the PM button below to mail me your address and cost. Thanks!!


Doug

Well I had to have #5000 post. Thanks to all. Keep those UCDs & this forum going. I'll be back in the skies soon.



Doug

i wanted 5000........... well maybe 6000[8D]

getting my 60 back on line, that will give me 4 flyables, most ever!!!
wow, what fun this is. got in 5 more 46 flights this morning and great weather finally
i have finally got the knifes down pat with a little radio help, but ya sitll have to hit it at a certain speed or it drifts off to who knows where, but they sure look impressive now, and a little lower.

Way to go guys! 5000 posts. That's impressive. I think only the Yak thread has more.

The UCDs give us a lot to talk about.

Thanks
Barry

Hey Doug, I wouldn't want to charge you anything. I'll just send them to you. What I have is about a foot to a foot and half of the tips of both wings. Do you need just the ribs? Rob

I'm thinking of ordering a brand new Do from that web site that Gary posted a ways back. Best deal around. I'm just not sure what flying I'll be able to get in. The new club I've been trying to get into to is becoming a pain in the butt. I was there yesterday as a guest and the range safety officer showed up and gave us a hard time. Too much to explain but this whole mess of loosing a flying field and trying to find another is really getting me depressed and disillusioned. [&o] I think I just need a good day of flying, maybe build a new plane, a nice inverted low pass, something. Maybe I need to see a hobby shrink. Hmmmmm...... No, that could be construed as a Monokote salesman. [:-] Somethings gotta get better.

Man thats really stinkey Rob, i kinda know how ya feel, once i had a dream that the guys at the county yard here went and dumped a load of asphalt right in the middle of the mixing strip i fly at (they kinda own the strip) and man was i sweating then wne day last week i talked to them while they were getting their dump truck loaded up(they do have asphalt there at the end of the strip) and they assured me they wouldnt do that and man now i feel better

Yeah it is bad. It's really causing some concern. It was really, really, good this spring. I had been asked to be an instructor and the flying was really getting fun. There were lots of new guys showing up at the field and it was fun. We even had the biggest fly-in I had ever been to in June. Then from someones bad judgement the whole field is now shut down and we still don't know if it will ever open again and at the only other close field around some of the guys there seem to act like they don't want us there. ARRRGGGGHHHHH!! [&o]

Thanks Rob
I e-mailed my address to you. A wing rib that I can copy without have to tear my wing apart for would be great.
That's terrible about your field. Or field is only 4 miles from my house. The next closest one is 15 miles. That would kill me to have to drive further.

Doug

5000!!!!!!!
cool guys

i've been flying my ucd for 2 weeks
i missed her

not my best flying plane but a close 2nd

ONLY IN RC CAN YOU HAVE THIS MUCH FUN

can't beat

thanks

Wow, what a fly in!!! Unbelievable numbers of planes and pilots and an unbelievable amount of sun and heat!! There was even a UCD 60 there! I have some great pics to share if you guys are interested in what we have going on here in Tulsa.

Speaking of pics, I bought a camera from Sears last week that was in their "floor model" showcase, an Olympus FE-110 5 megapixel camera. It was as is, no accessories, no book just a Sears bag and a reciept! ($84, not bad for a $300 list and since I had broken my old $200 camera while filming motorcycle races I decided to spend as little as possible and get as much out of them as I could) Well, after finding out that I needed the included software CD to be able to update the camera's firmware and the USB cable was different from the two I already owned, I started wondering who got the good deal!! It takes good pictures but I can't get them into my computer. So I put on my "really nice old guy" avatar today and sweet talked a clerk into looking into the closet where they put the stuff from the floor models and VOILA! he found everything that this thing came with, including an XD ram memory card and all the software, video cable, USB cable, paperwork, straps and the warranty card!! I WIN the lottery. Ah, those small victories make the war so much easier to fight. Anyway, I will be able to get some pictures for the thread now. But at 5 MP I will have to shrink some stuff down to within reasonable download size, these nice pictures are HUGE files. Just what I need, more work! I just lost some of that gained ground already!

Oy,
Bliss

Blisster...

I for one look forward to pictures. Post away.

RClement...

I hope you get your field delima worked out in your favor. Have you considered flying at a school. Around here, some people do that. Just a thought.

Thanks
Barry

Yes please post the pictues!!!!!

Hmmmmm..... That might work. Then on the other hand I could get arrested..... If I had a foamie I could do that. Thanks Barry. I did get a chance to fly the Mayhem the other day. Lots of fun. I'm still a little intimidated by it but getting better with it.

Thanks Doug. I'll get working on that and send it out next week. Rob

Rob.. Hoping for the best on your field situation!!!... Sometimes Smiling(Be it hard or normal)
your way in on that new field can help??? Good luck!!!

Darn got up late.... I tried that.... 5 more min. thing... And it was way too humid/hot
when I did get going.. From that 3hr. monster storm last night...( That's Big time here) Guess
that's why I got up late.. clocks was off by two and ahalf hrs.... Sure was a nice light show in
the dark... Hope I make it in the AM...........

Hey 5K+..... Hot and Heavy

Thanks Ron. I hope you get to fly inbetween the heat and storms.
Doug, I managed to get the rib out. I'll get it in the mail tomorrow. Rob

Hello all,
Ordered one of these yesterday and I suppose I should have checked this forum first. I ordered the .46 AX and some 12 x 4 props thinking it would power this plane nicely. Should I return the engine to Tower when it arrives or try moving everything as far forward as possible and give it a try. I have always flew scale and funflys and would like to try a little 3d for a change. One other option I may have. I have noticed that some guys are severly overpowering the plane with .75 two strokes and .90FS. I do have a new ST G-90, would that be to much with say a 14 x 4W prop and some throttle management. I would like to learn to hover and have the power to pull out of hover if needed however I do not want to pull the plane in half or break the tail section off. Let me know what you guys think, this thread is way to long for a working guy to read. Thanks for any suggestions in advance. I will be sure to check here in the future when buying airplanes, I find it hard to believe that a plane that is listed as a .32 to ..46 two stroke or .52 to .70FS is having to be over powered so much. GP should change their adds with this plane.
Brad Darnell

BradSD...

You'll be disappointed with the 46. Your STG-90 would power the plane pretty good.

The plane will fly with a 46 but I don't think it will hover. It certainly won't at my elevation. Even though you put the bigger engine on you won't actually be overpowered. You'll be about right. But you will have to exercise throttle management. This plane does not want to fly fast. I think that is why Great Planes states a smaller engine size. They don't want the plane overspeeded. Just don't go full throttle on the level or down lines.

You'll love the plane and the forum. Welcome!

Thanks
Barry

Barrys right on Brad, this plane is really a 60 size plane in a 46 size box

put the st on it and just us a 4 pitch and youll be happy, and i mean happy. and when you get the extra bucks you will want to buy a saito 82 for it, which is overwhelmingly the engine of choice for this plane, i have a saito 100 in mine and its not overpowered, its overly exciting[X(]

when you have any more questions just ask and all of us here on the ucd thread will be glad to help

ok had my first mishap on the ucd my left stab broke off mid snap roll brought it down like a pillow luckily this plane flew great with one stab unreal..question now stabilizer and elevator are in the middle of a huge overgrown feild never would be able to find it,where can i get a new stab and elevator kit? oh maybe some tail wires tooo..
