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

Thanks going to go fly it tommarrow morning. The landing gear is the Dubro flex landing gear from tower hobbies still have the original havent assembled it. This plane was a replacment for my Twist 40. The engine the landing gear and all the servos came from a PNP Twist 40.

I havent flown the UCD much but hope to get use to it. 3 flights so far so it still needs some tweaking to get it to fly the way i like. comes in pretty hot my CG is 4 3/4" i think i need to add some weight to the tail and get it to 5 or more before i try to do do any 3D stuff and change my prop too. Doesnt want to float in for landings comes in real fast, So its a bit of a thrill to fly.

My battery is as far back as i can get it. so i'm pretty certain i'll have to add weight to it. Really dont want to do that, but seems the only way to get the CG farther back. plane came with a note saying the Cg could be as far back as 6 inches and as far foward as 4inches. I'm sure it would float in real nice at 6 but that just sounds a little to touchy for my liking. But in the review on the plane 5 inches seemed to be perfect..So i'll try that first. i think 5 3/4 would be max..

Thanks for the welcome to the thread..
