DW Yak JR.

Sukhoikid · 12-22-2007, 03:00 PM

I will be getting one of these in the mail one day. I ordered it last week. Today I got in some goodies from 2 DogRC's Warehouse. Got in a small 10 gram brushless motor with two props and speed controller. Also a 330mah 2 cell battery. It was very FAST shipping. Will post photos of the build when I begin. Anyone else running a sim. setup???

I have the plane, running the ds m2 sectrum nano reciever with their servos super light setup,I tried bluebird 4g servos and a mini reciever and the plane was to heavy. Build light.

when you mask the foamie to paint it what do you use? i tried blue painters tape and it just tore the foam up

diveredd · 12-28-2007, 04:10 PM

electrical tape works well

Sukhoikid · 12-28-2007, 06:11 PM

what type of stuff you need to paint a foamy. When I was VERY young like 7 or so I was trying to paint my AirHog spare wing which was white a color and used regular spray paint lol. It melted lol.

Krylon Shortcuts, Krylon H2O, Testors or Tamya spray paints. You have to use a foam safe paint or the solvents in regular spray paints will eat the foam (as you found out). Many of them contain acetone like regular Krylon.

Just got done putting in servos and hook up all linkages. Just need to put motor and speed controller in and should be ready to program and go.

You should be around 3 oz RTF if you want it to fly nice. I built mine at about 4 oz and it was too heavy. You have to try the BAF Yak...... Awesome plane.

kim3D · 01-01-2008, 07:39 PM

the 20 inch yak is too heavy at 4 oz and thats the reson we now got the 28 inch yak which is perfect at 4 oz

Sukhoikid · 01-01-2008, 07:47 PM

heres a pic of it. I need to weigh mine. This was my first small foamy and not a pro at building things light. I need to weigh mine is see how much it is. I know I need to order me a smaller rx. That is all I had laying around the house.

Sukhoikid · 01-03-2008, 01:33 PM

hmm I have the killer bee motor on there from 2dogrc and it does not have enough power to hover. It will fly the plane but not hover at all. I am running a 7 3 prop and 2 cell lip battery 300mah
