Great Planes U-Can-Do 3D 60 ARF - GPMA1270 - Manual (Page 3)

7. If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot, you
should fly the model only with the help of a competent,
experienced R/C pilot.
8. WARNING: The cowl and wheel pants included in this kit
are made of fiberglass, the fibers of which may cause eye,
skin and respiratory tract irritation. Never blow into a part to
remove fiberglass dust, as the dust will blow back into your
eyes. Always wear safety goggles, a particle mask and
rubber gloves when grinding, drilling and sanding fiberglass
parts. Vacuum the parts and work area thoroughly after
working with fiberglass parts.
Remember: Take your time and follow the instructions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
If you have not flown this type of model before, we
recommend that you get the assistance of an experienced
pilot in your R/C club for your first flights. If you're not a
member of a club, your local hobby shop has information
about clubs in your area whose membership includes
experienced pilots.
In addition to joining an R/C club, we strongly recommend you
join the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics). AMA
membership is required to fly at AMA sanctioned clubs. There
are over 2,500 AMA chartered clubs across the country.
Among other benefits, the AMA provides insurance to its
members who fly at sanctioned sites and events. Additionally,
training programs and instructors are available at AMA club
sites to help you get started the right way. Contact the AMA at
the address or toll-free phone number below:

This is a partial list of items required to finish the U-CAN-DO
3D that may require planning or decision-making before
starting to build. Order numbers are provided in parentheses.
4+ channel radio with 6 standard-sized servos as noted below.
Note that a 6+ channel, fully computerized radio system is
highly recommended for maximum flexibility and performance.
Ailerons:
• Two ball bearing servos (50+ in oz: HCAM0170)
• One 20+" y-harness (HCAM2751)
OR
• Two 6" extensions (HCAM2701) and one y-harness
(HCAM2500)
Rudder:
• One high torque servo (90+ in oz: HCAM0191)
• One 24" servo extension (HCAM2200)
Elevator:
• Two ball bearing servos (50+ in oz:HCAM0170)
• If using a computerized radio two 24" servo extensions
(HCAM2200)
• If not using a computerized radio with Ailevator programming,
then a servo reversing harness is required (FUTM4150)
Throttle:
• One servo, standard (HCAM0150)
.61 to .91 2-stroke, .70 to .91 4-stroke
Appropriate props, fuel, glow plugs, etc. for your engine.
Engine notes: The U-Can-Do 3D will hover on all of the
recommended engines. The engines on the lower end of the
range will hover nicely without over-speeding the airframe in
level flight. The engines on the higher end of the range will
hover and give the added power to recover from unwanted
attitudes, but throttle management needs to be used to keep
the speed down. Whatever engine you choose, a 6 pitch
prop or less is recommended.
In addition to the items listed in the “Decisions You Must
Make” section, following is the list of hardware and
accessories required to finish the U-CAN-DO 3D 60. Order

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality
kit and instructions, but ultimately the quality and
flyability of your finished model depends on how you build
it; therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the
performance of your completed model and no
representations are expressed or implied as to the
performance or safety of your completed model.
