Hi all!
My UCF flies great, but with the tail drag conversion frame + a GoPro below, it becomes a bit underpowered. (I flew with skis and was tricky to take off due to the lack of power...)
I have heard that there were some twin conversion. Could anyone post some details about it? I am really interested in putting my GoPro at the nose and two 3530 1100kV turnigy motors on the wings. Any feedback?
Thanks
So here is my construction. It's one cut piece of 3mm aluminum. The corners are screwed on it. The rear part is screwed on the "old" gear support and in the front, one long bolt with a secured nut is holding the plate at the "old" front gear support. My issue now is that I am pretty heavy with the plane. With a 2200mAh inside and ready to fly, it's 1623g heavy with a CG @ 83mm. What is your flying weight with your U Can Fly?

Looking forward to bring it in the air!![]()
Herer is a picture of my tail "wheel". It is not steerable, but the rudder is efficient enough on the snow. It's an M3 long screw holding the little metal part untill the elevator. I'll add soon a kind of credit card in between to better distribute the force on the foam.How did youy make the tailwheel? Can you steer with it?
So my previous motor was a Turnigy D3530 1100kV with a 10x5 APC propeller. Was a bit at the limit by take-off with modified landing gear + GoPro, so about 1900g take-off weight.
I have just upgraded my setup now: NTM 3530 1400kV with a 10x7 3 blades MasterAirscrew propeller. I had to change the ESC as well. I have now a 60A ESC.
Power test is 45.81A for 498.96W! So with a 3S, I get more than the double of power than with my D3530. I might reduce a bit the upper limit on my transmitter as the motor becomes on the workbench a little bit hot. But I cannot wait to test it in flight!
