CeeGee...hey, I was reading one of your older posts page 47 or 48?? You said you didn't use a reveser for one of your elevator servos so you put the rod on the other side of the surface? Did you ever end up finding a reverser or does it work good the way it is?
I was just wondering. I reversed my brand new hitec servo and it seems to work fine that way.
Let me know if you need the info on how to do it!
THANKS!
Joe

Kokamo, I works just fine so far. I'm going to be changing my set up later this week to carbon fiber so I'll look into it more then and see if it still works out for me. Rob

GUYS - You can get "Wing Seating Tape" at the website I pasted below. The guy has some other good stuff too.
I built the website and have seen his stuff first hand. Nice, high quality products.
I think I'll be putting his Tailwheel assembly's on all of my planes too.

Weather has been bad, lots of wind and rain. Still have not heard any thing from greatplanes. I think that I will give them a call today. Going to try to get out and fly today or tomorrow. I should be getting the stuff for my other two projects today some time. Has any one else used the futaba 7 cap? I am really excited to try it. Some of the features are just awsome. Will give a report about it after flying with it. I did put some tail wires on the ucando and the carbon fiber push rods on the ele and aeil. We will see what happens.

Runover.....You could have prolly went to Hong Kong, bought your voltwatch and could have been back by now. Lol....you prolly could have hitch hiked there and back by now!!!
Anyways...you going to put the voltwatch in the canopy? Thats exactly what I'm going to do. I put mine on with screws so I could change out pilots if I ever wanted to. I show pics in a little while.
CeeGee....the gear is off of my corona helicopter. It is the tail shaft gear that turns the tail rotor. I got another one in a crash kit I ordered. I don't fly it anymore and I have this one as a spare. It works in a jiffy and it dosen't look bad either.
Thanks for compiments......I'm tryin' hard to do it right this time.

Fred Dings, II..... I am sorry, I cannot help you on reversing another brand of servo. All I know how to reverse is the Hitec brand servo. The size servo is a Hitec HS-625 on the elevators and ailerons and the rudder I have a Hitec HS-5645-MG. If you go [link=http://www.hitecrcd.com/product_fs.htm]to this link,[/link] click on servos on the top of the screen and then click on servo faqs. It will then open another window and you woll need to click on General Servo Questions. From there you can find out how to reverse a hitec anolog servo. Or.......you might go to the website of your brand servo and they might be able to tell you how to do it yourself. HOPE THAT HELPS!!!
CeeGee....to tell you the truth...I don't know what it is by brand. It looks to be an older one. All I know is it is a quarter of an inch bigger than the one supplied by Great planes. I got it from a freind. He felt sorry for me because I spent all my $$$$$ on my engine, plane, servos, RX, du-bro ball links and 4-40 threadded rods. I didn't have enough for a new spinner because my original one (supplied with the kit) would not accept a 14x4 Zinger prop. So he gave me his. Only because it was the only thing I needed to fly.
gjeffers.....I had a weird dream last night.....I was talking to sombody and we ended up talking about some dude named "Jeffers".....weird uh??? ANYWAY......I will get on it sir!!! I thought about that today while I was cleaning all my fingerprints off with windex. I think i'll do that tonight.
THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS!!!

Ok IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!! YIPPIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Dang, i'm excited......but kinda bummed out at the same time. Today was my day off and I had a chance to finish her off. It's ready to go now and I won't see a day off from work until Sunday. I hear that there will be a cold front with some rain. So with any cold front, you most likley will see wind. So I guess that gives me more time to go over everything three or four times. Here are some pics.
FRED, No problem on the info. I hope you get it fixed up the way you need it.
OH, gjeffers. I GOT THAT MUFFLER DONE. It sure is shiney hu? Amazing what a little elbow grease does. Whatcha think?

I'm in the final stages of assembling my new U-Can-Do 3D .46 and I have a question about the fuel tank. It appears that the fuel tank is resting against the firewall and directly on wood beams or formers. Even the block of balsa that holds the tank in place is pressed directly against the back of the fuel tank. This type installation is contrary to everything I've been taught or learned about fuel tank installations. I have always thought it best to "float" the fuel tank in foam rubber to isolate the tank from engine vibration. This technique is supposed to minimize or eliminate the possibility of fuel foaming.
Have any of you UCD owners experienced fuel foaming problems?

Kaos, True, the tank is braced in there pretty good but I haven't had any problems at all with mine. No siphoning, no foaming problems that I know of. I have a Dubro shut off fuel on the side and that seems to work well with it so I don't think you should have any problems with it.

Another question: what size prop would you recommend for an OS.50 when used in the UCS.46 airplane? I was thinking maybe a 13 x 4 or maybe a 12 x 5?
