downtrodden

Just thinking about your comment on flat spinning the U-Can-Do 60. I'm not too surprised that it doesn't flat spin as well as the Twist although it does sound disappointing. I won't be able to try it for a while. That is a big wing, did you balance the plane laterally?
When I build/assemble a plane I make sure I have a place to install a screw eye at the C.G. and fuselage center. Then I hang it, and do what is necessary to balance it fore and aft and side to side. On my 60, the screw eye is mounted in the cockpit on the rear slope and there is a piece of lite ply reinforcing the spot. I will install the canopy after balancing. I still have a lot of work to do, and I'm putting metal gear digitals on the tail feathers. I'm sure that's not necessary, but my flying buddy Dave swears by them on his U-Can 46. Of course, he is one of these "tail touching" hover nuts and kept tearing up the plastic gear servos. I had to try 'em. He says it took him only three years, 8 airplanes and a two axis gyro to learn to hover. I've seen him hold a hover without a gyro for over two minutes. Makes my 10 second hover humorous.
