RE: Disign problem with Great Planes 25% Yak 54

Did you all have any balance problems with yours? Mine was extremely tail heavy with a Saito 220 in the nose - took over 13 oz of lead in the front to balance. This is with everything as forward as...

RE: U Can Do 3D

Elvir - OK, now I understand. I'm not familiar with the Wesson engine, but that G20 gasser might be a good choice for you. As far as I'm concerned the Ucando is one of the best designs I've seen in...

RE: U Can Do 3D

I guess a gasser would work, the UCD has enough wing to haul almost anything. But why? You guys with the YS110's have some good times ahead of you. I've been flying my .60 size with an old YS91AC...

RE: Great Planes ARF Skybolt

Sorry, darock, but I gotta disagree. I've built at least 30 large ARF's and I've never had that eggshelling experience you describe. When I mount a FG cowl I just glue a CA hinge flat inside before...

RE: UCD 60 - What engine?

The YS110 is the perfect engine for this. My UCD 60 has an old YS91AC, and it hovers at just above half throttle. As to the issue of YS engines being difficult to tune - I don't agree with that but...

RE: Seagull Harrier 46

I'm just finishing mine with an OS 70FL which is a very light 4-stroke - it weighs the same as an OS 46 2-stroke. I've also saved weight by using a single servo for the elevator and a micro for...

RE: Seagull - Harrier .46 Anyone had any experience?

Thanks jawbuy. I've already joined the elevator halves to need only one elevator servo. Seems like a simple way to save weight (famous last words..).

RE: Carl Goldberg Extra 330 ARF

I'm trying to decide on an engine for mine. Has anyone tried a SuperTigre G2300 on one of these? Tower says they have way more power than the Saito 180, and it sounds like you should try to keep...

RE: Great planes ultimate 160

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere in this thread, but does anyone know of an aftermarket landing gear for this bird? I'm running a Saito 300 TDP (15 lbs AUW) and the gear are very spongy. ...

RE: Goldberg Obsession 3D

Mine also had most of the problems mentioned: tight antirotation pins, poor quality hinges, white covering that doesn't stick well, etc. But once you get past that stuff you end up with a plane that...

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

Thanks, ifly. The YS is heavier than your Saito. Are you saying it needs more power than the OS 91?

RE: Super Skybolt ARF

I just got mine and the covering is sure nice. Construction is very much like the larger GP Ultimate. Have any of you guys actually flown your Super Skybolt ARFs yet? I have an OS91FS and a YS91FZ...

RE: goldberg obsession 3-d??

I just noticed the Funtana reference, 3D Romeo. I have an H9 Funtana 90 (the yellow one) with a YS120. It is a good plane, but has a few flaws in my opinion. I think they improved the landing gear...

RE: goldberg obsession 3-d??

I built one of these over the winter and have had several flights with it. I have a YS140DZ in there, and it will hover at about 1/3 throttle. All-up weight is 11.5 lbs, which is amazingly light...

RE: U Can 3D w/120 + engines

[sm=thumbup.gif]
One of the things that makes the YCD3D so outstanding is its versatility. I have several YS120's and a 140DZ, but I keep a YS91AC in my YCD. It will hover at half throttle with...

RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

I have a couple of old OS 91 Surpass engines sitting around. Has anyone tried one of these on the UCD 46? I think they weigh a couple of ounces more than the Saito 91.

What is the Katana covered with? Is it real Ultracoat or Monocoat? And how much do yours weigh?
Thanks.

Muffling a Saito 300

Thanks to both of you; I appreciate your thoughts. I think I'll try a different prop and a homemade can muffler.

Goldberg Ultimate 10 300 anybody?

Outstanding plane. Mine is powered with a YS120SC, which takes the ceiling off. The OS 120 or even YS 91 would also be good engines for this, but I doubt the OS 91 would let this plane do all it...

Ugly is in the eye of somebody not flying one, but I admit it does look kind of strange - like a cross between a pattern plane and a fun-fly. It is a remarkable aircraft. But mainly I really do...
