rclement...You'll love the 60. I like it even better than the 46 mostly because it's a bit heavier and bigger and handles the breeze a bit better. Go with 5 3/4" on CG and you'll like the way it flys. Saito 125 is a great engine for it. But you know what I use!?!?!?!? It's a great engine also. I mount mine inverted and it seems to run fine. A 16x6 prop should work great with the Saito. Mine keep getting lighter. My last one is 7lbs 12ozs. Flys wonderful at that weight. My most common problem...(no not the landing gear) is I keep breaking the hinges in the elevators. If you can "pin" the hinges back there it will help. This plane does the best rising flat spins I've seen...well if you don't count the Mayhem. I love the UCD60. Funnest plane I own.

gjeffers...Good to hear from you. How ya liking the northern Nevada territory? Still flying quite a bit?

McDaddy...On the 12Z you should be able to balance the elevators by using the above 100% feature in the end point programming. You probably have them at 100%. One of your elevators has a mechanical advantage over the other and is giving you more throw. Also, you may be hitting the end of the throw by hitting the bevels. But...you should be able to max out the throw on the longest one and adjust the other elevator to match by going above 100%. I personally usually go close to 140%. By care examination and programming you will be able to match your throws. The 12 Z is one of the finest radios out there. It's so precise I use it to fly two models at the same time when I get bored.

Thanks
