Barry,

Let me explain about something. It's called "doing a wall" but you don't have to actually HIT a wall, just make the plane look like its going up one!

Ouch what happened?

Barry, whats going on here? i thought it was only the cowl, did you do that after the cowl repair or what??

WoW,liberator, that Mag eats that much fuel? thats a lot[X(] and i did use the larger gp mount for my 100 and it did barely fit but it did work out great after i shortened the length of the rails about 3/4 in.

After

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

WOW[X(]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I get 10 to 12 mins on my Saito 100 with the stock tank and its still on the rich side.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

i get 10 on my saito 100 Beechtech, not much more, but that is plenty for me, im ready to take a break by then.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Barry, Is that your latest plane or a picture from the past? What happened? [X(]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

latest #4

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Barry,

Sorry for the caranage, looks like she will fly again though with a little glue.

That Magnum i was looking at was a 2ST 91 not a 4st. Good thing i didnt do a buy it now.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Barry, Sorry to hear your latest plane went down.......... [&o]
It does look like it could be put back together though....

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Stcrash,

I was very lucky I got the Magnum NIB on ebay for $150.00. The guy had about 4 of them and I could do the buy it now for the $150.00 The funny thing is that the next day after I had bought mine, he jacked his prices to $225.00 buy it now. I am pretty darn impressed with the Magnum thus far, it is a very nice motor without having to pay for the OS or Saito name. Saved a ton.

Barry,

That really sucks man, I'm sorry your plane went in. I hope you can put it back together. Good luck.[:o]

Tom

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

yeah i was really psyched to find one with a buy it now for 125, luckily i didnt jump on it. I would have been really bumbed to find out its a 91 2 ST. I have an Evolution 1.00 2 St to put on a plane so I dont have much need for a 91 2ST. I think for 150 its still a really good prices and I will be keeping my eye out.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

:)It's taken me a day or two to recover. Man, it makes me so mad to lose one of these planes. I was just a landing. A strong wind had come up and I was into it. I was about two feet off the ground when the wind caught the right wing tip and blew it up. The left tip caught the ground and it kinda spin in. It didn't even break the prop or do any damage except break right into. These planes are made so light (not a complaint, that's why I buy them) but just the least little side impact and you have two planes. I was lovin' this plane so much. I had done the best rising flat spins with it. It was so easy to fly and fun, fun, fun. I think I could fix it, but I'm not sure if I could keep the fuse straight. I'm not sure what I'm gonna do. It has been 75 flights since my last incident. (UCD60) I repaired that one, not to bad. This one is worse. It's days like this that make me just want to quit completely. Last time I took a month off. This time I don't know... Anyways, that's the story.
Thanks for all the concern guys. I really do feel like I have friends here.
Thanks,
Barry

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Well Barry, It wasn't your fault. It sounds like there wasn't anything you could do to save it and it sounds like the part of the country where you fly there is a lot of wind at times. I sure hope you don't give it up. We all really enjoy your friendship and input.....[8D]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

yea Barry, ive been lucky a couple of times, same thing here only my gear was all that got it, and last weekend it was my tailgear,but i get 2 ft drops where i fly when landing, just hang in here with us;)

hey CeeGee, when you get that new hangar straightened out lets see a pic:D

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

No way we will let you give it up Barry!!

I think we all get that feeling when we lose a plane we like. You get bumbed and feel like you are looking into a deep money pit. Then you get your new plane and those crazy jimmy legs when you pull onto the runway for you maiden, and bamn, your right back in it. Besides if you can do rising flat spins...

Well I wont get to fly this weekend, I am going to Cape Cod for a little R and R. No kids for 4 days and 3 nights. I gues that is worth missing my flying day. I will just have to take a long lunch on Tuesday and get some flights in. Hope you all have fun flying this weekend.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Liberator, here is a pic of my currant 60-120 mount for my 100, and believe it or not it is under the cowl[X(]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Yea, I'll get some pictures of it. I'm thinking of painting the floor in the hangar.... er, garage. We get to go into in on the 1st to paint and stuff but we can't move anything in untill the 7th. Perfect time to paint the floor. Hummmm..... just got to thinking though. If I drop an APC prop onto a grey painted hangar floor will I be able to see it? [:-] :eek: [X(]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

:)I had a plane like that once.
Thanks,
Barry

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

sorry Barry, i wont post no more pics till your hex is gone[:@];)

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

gjeffers,

Nice job on getting that to fit, did you need a shoe horn? :D

This is holding up well, I hope that it takes the vibration. I check it frequently and so far so good.
I am off all next week, I want to see how much fuel I can run through, that is if we manage to have a day with less than gail force winds.

Barry, I feel the pain, when my P-40 went in, it took some time to get back into things, give it time.

Tom

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Barry is cheating on us guys[X(] he is over on the where is the showtime thread having a ball:) he is only acting sad for us:D

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

:)Am sad for UCD. Am anxious for Showtime. I'm told it will ship Monday, although apparently some people already have theirs. I don't see how. I've had mine on order since I first saw them. Maybe two month?!?! Anyways, I'm not willing to give up just yet. But I need a 40 airplane bad. When I fly at lunch hour I need something small enough to easily fit in my pick up. The 90 planes don't do that very well, at least in the cab. So I ask...5th UCD or Harrirer46?
thanks
Barry

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Barry, I'd be a traitor to suggest the Harrier 46 [:-] but I would love to hear about them and how they fly.......[8D]

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

:)I don't want to be a traitor either, and I don't know how I could leave this thread. Maybe I could sew a prop for up front and put UCD covering on it and nobody would notice. Maybe.
Thanks,
Barry
