Hey Aggie!
I had very good luck with my UCD.
I used the stab attachment supplied but used blue Loctite to keep it from loosening.
If you are taking yours apart regularly perhaps you could look at installing some Nylock nuts in
place of the blind nuts.
I used the supplied control horns but, like everyone else, I used 4-40 hardware.
The landing gear block.
I halfway reinforced mine when I was putting it together and had no problems.
If you are going to run a YS I recommend using a Hyde mount.
You can check out Central Hobbies for types.
You don't need a $200+ one with nose support.
The approx $60 one will more than pay for itself in improved longevity of the plane and radio.
Good luck!
