Default RE: U Can Do 3D

There is not any thrust built into UCD firewalls, never was. The original engineering included an off set in the vertical stab, which proved to be insufficient. If you measure carefully you will see it. I found a Saito 100 to require 4 degree and a YS 110 to require just 3 degree. If one dosen't want to mess with right thrust setup and have a straighter cowl installation, mix in some right rudder to throttle. I know that MIXMASTER is going to pull out his radio and figure out the combo to this one.

Got my servos back from Horizon. After they opened them up and saw that I replaced the gear train, they wouldn't warranty them. They suck.

$37.50 for new potentiometers in all four servos, + labor and shipping isn't too bad, but they suck.

Mounted them, powered up and shake away. Worse than before I sent them in. They really suck.

They now vibrate not only @ neutral, they vibrate under load as well. They really, really suck.

I will call tomorrow and see what they want to do about them before I say that they suck again.

Other than that, I did get a good fifteen minutes out of it today. Didn't want to shake the tail off it, so, called it a day. Joe
