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

Hey Rob, If it's going towards the belly, you'll need some up...... I would start with just a few
%.. Like 2-3 and work from there.. You do know it's speed senitive... I never fly the same, and
I was always adjusting the mix Rud to Elev/Ail.... and I never really stayed at a "happy" spot so
I finally gave up on the mix and just work the sticks...

Had a Good "Lucky" morning... The "Do" flew great... After a few flights I want to see if a smaller
prop would help with the vibration, so I tried a 12.25x3.75... No thrust what so ever.. And no
help on the vib[:@]... I was going to land and change the prop, but thought I'd try a blender, It
worked pretty good after "working" to get her up there.... Well I guess with the little prop, I did
not get the needle just right[:@].. At the stressed part of the blender, the engine died.. First dead
stick with fuel..... Anyway was not going to make it back, So I tried to pick a "unseen" spot that
had less junk there... ...( Can't see the last 3-5') Well I lucked out... No damage
except for a small tear on the wing tip, did not even chip the "little" prop.... After removing the
cowl and cleaning the engine and checking all I got three more flights... My lucky day

Be Good people,,,,, Lucky is not bad also
