Man, I didn't think it was possible from crate to flight in 6 days.

One quick question, Did you use glue???

It doesn't look like it will be nec one this on either.

Hey there Mark... I'm looking forward to seeing you guys this weekend. I did have a different experience from you on the engine. I was getting 198 degrees on one side & 210 degrees on the other.... I've NEVER had my DA's that high before..... The Comp-Arf SuperX & the 260 stayed where you now have your Yak....
I did build my ducting (top & bottom) & will be testing out the temps this weekend.
See you both in a few days..
Bye
Wayne

Rotflmao........Yeah we used 3M DP100 which is the equiv of aeropoxy but it dries in 5 minutes. When I mentioned to Jason we could have it ready for Atlanta, he was shocked, that we got it done as fast as we did, I was shocked!

So Mark when do you want to start on my first compy?

Flyinrazrback · 11-01-2007, 06:19 PM

what did just the bare jet tech fuel tank weigh? a bare dubro 50oz tank is 5oz on my scale.

Flyinhigh · 11-01-2007, 06:47 PM

On pg 1 the weight of the Kevlar Jet-tech tank is given at 5 oz complete. My 64 oz tank from B&B is 10 oz complete, with fuel lines, so it's a 5 oz saving over the one I have for my 3.3 Yak, as far as I can tell.

Hey Mark,

Could you send me the measurements for the holes you cut for the push/pull on the 3.0 yak? From the TE of the fuse to the TE of the hole, and from the bottom seam to the bottom of the hole.

I always wanted to do a push/pull on a CompARF but all of mine have always ended up tail heavy. Looks like Andreas finally solved that issue.

Thanks,

Pete
