Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Cant believe there are still people out there who dont know about elev-spoileron mix AND increasing the ail. travel to get the Do to harrier.You need both to lock in. Both my 46 and 60 harrier & elevator now that Ive made the changes.(its in the 60UCD threads) I got to admit that the 46 doesnt like much wind for harriers,the 60 is better in wind but I still prefer to do it on calmer days,that locked in flight makes you very comfortable with tail touches & landings,I wont do them if its rocking. Anyone just beginning to harrier a Do should do it on calm days,(I know there isnt many)if its not locking in then the plane or radio needs something more. In fact,this past Sunday I did another harrier landing and some tail touches,God I love the high risk stuff-I think I need help. Other than the OS108 sagging once, I had no problems torque rolling. Just had to richen the low end a little,wonder if my cut-outs in the cowl are big enough? It is getting warmer,could be heat issue? The 60 Do torque rolls intermittantly,have to keep it in a tight sweet spot to get it going but sometimes its unreal how fast it rolls,almost like someone slapped the wing tip. I noticed it does this when just beginning to drop lower in a hover too. Its coool. I keep thinking about the Giant Do,I've got a Brison 2.4 but its going in a Ultra- RC Giles first.
I need to fly some other planes to prove a point I think. Some of my club-mates think the Do is a bit of a crutch,like I'm cheating or something. I say, if I'm torque rolling,harriers,HA KE,ect... who cares??!! If they arent doing that,maybe they should get one!!!
