ORIGINAL: ES CONTROL
I have mastered the Tower trainer 60 and love flying the yak on flight simulator.
I want to get in to a U Can Do 60 next . starting with equipment I have OS 65 2 stroke (same hp. as 4 Stroke 91) with 13x4 prop and standard servos( 44 oz . ) all around except the rudder (70 oz .)
I know this is all on the weak side. But money is tight and I am board . Thinking after some flying time I could set the plane up right. Please tell me what to do.<br type=''_moz'' />
with the set up and parts you have get the U-Can-Do 46

the UCD 60 is a bit of a dog unless its powered up with the max engine, not sure why they recomend the 91 4st as the max because a 120 4st would be better.
why would I say this you might ask, 2 reasons I was assembling mine,a UCD 46, and was on the fence about which engine to use, a fellow club member had his at the field one day with his 61 2stroke and allowed me to fly his a bit, it was awesome the extra power was a huge bonus flew great at 2/3-3/4 power and was a real gentile flyer, with some serious acrobatic potental.
another club member has his UCD 60 with a 91 4st and it was obvious it needed more power, nice flyer but needed more engine for what he was trying to do with it,
I ended up installing a OS61FX in mine,with futaba standard servos 3004's every where except for the rudder, which I used a HD servo.
I ended up selling it, and the next owner turned it into a pile of sticks, but I kept the engine for another project.
