Try Chief's or Desert AC. Both carry K&S and MTM. Desert might know the header drop you need.

Jeff, call DA and tell them the airplane you have and ask what you need for a DA-50. It'll be the same for the DL.

Does anyone have a phone number for Chris Hammond? Michael

Right now i have the servos on pull pull. but i have seen two of them done with direct drive.(custom mod). Reason i sued pull pull is that its the way it came, and the only way to put direct drive is to build your own mount in the tail(from what i see it doesnt seem to difficult). Tell him to look at this build thread on how this guy did it.

How do you like the way it flys Harv? How does it stack up with your 42%? I have had several TOC yaks. They have all been good planes.

[harv]

42% vs 35% from what i know right now

42% extra 260
-slower
-more stable
-easier to fly
-Does all manuvers slower( harrier rolls, snaps, etc)
-not on the sticks as much
-tracks like an arrow
-Minimal knifeedge couplnig in high speed and high alpha

35% extra 260
-much faster than im used to
-Not as stable in comparison to my 40%
-Way more manuverable
-Snaps are crisp but fast
-has a really high roll rate
-on the sticks more
-tracks like an arrow
-Minimal knifeedge couplnig in high speed and high alpha


Both have great power and fly the planes easily.

Im happy with both, although im sitll tryin to get used to the speed of the 35% for freestyle, and im trying to take advantage of having the speed.
