I just got a UCD 60 and will be starting to builld it very soon. I've read through quite a bit of the 120 page UCD 60 post but I thought it would be very helpful (to me and others) to put together just tips on building this airplane. Any suggested alterations to ease building and make a better flyer would be very helpful. For instance, I'm not sure if I like the CA hinges that come with the kit (ARF). Have there been problems using these? Any alternatives?

Any suggested modifications?

Any pitfalls to avoid?

What servos to use. I have already bought a Futaba S3305 (hi torque, metal geared) servo for the rudder. I have heard some comments about only using the digital servos (very expensive!), or can standard ones be used as long as the torque rating is high enough (manual suggests 90 oz-in for the rudder and 50+ for everything else).

It appears that this plane is very popular and using this post to collect building tips could be extremely helpful (definitely to me and hopefully to others).

Thanks

Tony
