ORIGINAL: Stiffe

I got my new ucd 60 now and it look´s great. Much more stable I think. I think the pushrods is to thin. I will do new of carbon fiber. If anywone own a 60 sized ucd? Tell me if it´s work god and if you have done some changes on the plane. I think I will stabilize some in the tail.

hi stiffe, i have both the 46 and 60, i love them both, although they are a little different.
the 60 is just a little slower on manuvers and just a little more relaxing close to the ground to me.
i would go with what Barry said and use carbon fiber pushrods from central hobbies(link below)
if you are a good lander then dont worry about the LG reinforcements untill you break them out, they will break clean when it happens
on the 60 size you can mount the engine inverted but the carb will be lower than the tank so the best solution for the offset will be a cline regulator(link below) or you can mount the engine for trouble free operation sideways, mine runs the best this way.
i also would use some dubro pinned hinges because ive had problems with the CA hinges.

if you do use a cline regulator then its a good time to try the tank over CG(pic below)
