U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Anybody know anything about the new U-Can-Do 3D coming out in a 46 size? I have an OS FS-70 II sitting here waiting for an airframe and I was thinking of putting it in a Global Freestyle, but I have heard there is a U-Can-Do 46 coming out.

Which would be the better choice for the OS 70 to use for a beginner at 3D and also to use for practice of soime precision aerobatics?

well, tower has it already listed for early june :

The earlier you order yours, the earlier you will get it. If it takes as much time as the Flip 3D did, you better order one NOW !

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I saw a video of it at the LHS. It looks to be pretty good, the U-Can-Do I mean.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Looks like it is too early for anybody to have any real experience as it isn't out yet. We shall just have to wait and see!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Well...the last UCANDO thread turned into one of the largest ever on RC Universe! Let's see if the baby brother to the UCANDO-3D can pull the same interest!

I just received mine today. Has anybody seen one yet in person besides me? If not I'll take some pictures of it if you guys are interested. Out of the box it looks sweet.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Mine is on the way. I just checked my order with Tower and it has been shipped.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Yes, post some pictures and your first impressions. Mine has been on order from Tower Hobbies for a few weeks, but no notice of shipment yet!! Darn!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I would love to see pics as well, ordered mine about two weeks ago still no notice of shipping.

For the two so far that have theirs when did you order?

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

JUST CHECK WITH TOWER ONLINE AND MINE WAS SHIPPED TODAY. SHOULD ARRIVE BY THURSDAY. I HAVE A SAITO 100 WAITING FOR IT!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Your not really putting a Saito 100 in a 46 size plane, are you?

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Satio 100 ? I was thinking of a YS 63 or a Satio 72.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Mine is getting a saito 72....can't wait!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Marc, some people have all the luck, do you get a business deduction for your models? Some people just pick the right careers. Keep us posted.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Marc--after looking at this new U-Can does it look like a OS 50 SX will move it around OK? Does it look like it will make the 5.25 lbs that GP is claiming? I am wondering if that motor will give it good enough vertical to 3d with.

Thanks!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I'm going to snap pictures today and weight the pieces :) Off to do that now.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I dont understand why you would do that ? It will only increase the wingloading, and compromise the flight performance. The UCD 60 will fly fine on a Saito 100, but I doubt the 46 size will really shine with that engine. Not that it won't fly, but just not as good as it could. My $0.02

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Here is a first look at the Ucando 46. Arrived safely and looks great!!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

dude how long ago did you order yours

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

What is the wingspan?The UCD original was to big for my car.Fuse length/wingspan/+chord if not to much trouble.Thanks :)

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Wingspan and specs should all be on towers website if I recall...if you can't find it I'll dig it up off the box or measure it.

How would you guys like a video giving a first look at this plane out of the box and I'll weigh all the parts in the video so you can have a total out of the box weight?

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Video would be great...how about one of you flying this thing this weekend...they claim 6 to 8 hours to build. :D

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

It looks like a fast build...especially considering I did the big brother so the learning curve should be small on this one. I'll have a video up soon!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

it looks great just like his big brother
i want one, i want one LOL
it will fit in my car easy
keep em' coming

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

What does the firewall and landing gear block look like? Hopefully they fixed some of the problems of the big one.You lucky guy.I think I will have to get one now.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I HAD THE 60 SIZE WITH THE SAITO 100 AND IT WAS OK BUT NOT GREAT VBERTICLE ACCELERATION. LOOK AT THE POST ON THE SIXTY SIZE, MANY PEOPLE WENT WITH A YS 91 OR 120 AND THE PLANE CAME ALIVE.
I BELIEVE THE SAME WILL HAPPEN WITH THE 46 A 70 FOUR STRIKE WILL BE GOOD BUT THE 100 WILL BE GREAT.
AND BY THE WAY, I TALKED TO THE PEOPLE AT GREAT PLANES AND THE PROTOTYPE HAD A OS 70 IN IT. THE SAITO 100 WIEGHS THE SAME. SO, IT WILL NOT INCREASE THE WINGLOADING AT ALL. WITH AN APC 15X4 WIDE THE PLANE WILL NOT HAVE A LOT OF SPEED, BUT WILL HAVE GREAT VERICAL PERFORMANCE.

MINE SHOULD ARRIVE TOMORROW, AND SHOULD HAVE IT READY TO FLY IN A WEEK OR SO. WE WILL LET YOU KNOW.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Let us know how the .46 ucando does 3d? Especially water falls.
I am deciding between this and the flip.

check your six

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Hey Marc,
Did you decide what engine you are putting into yours?

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

It is between an OS 70FS, OS 50SX or YS 63 so far...videos uploaded to give you a first look plus all parts have been weighted and shown in the video!

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Here are the 2 new first look videos of the Great Planes UCANDO-3D 46

In this first video I actually weigh all the pieces of the ucando 46 to give you guys an idea how much the plane comes in at minus engine, radio, glue. Parts were fresh out of the box and weighed on my digital scale. The second video which shows a closer look at the parts and the plane being unpacked so you can see what you get in the package.

Hope you like them!

Marc, looks as if the permissions on the video file are off. Getting a don't have permission to view file error.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

I goofed on the filename...it's fixed...try now

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Sorry,still doesn't work

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
 

Low band works, highband is a no go.

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?
