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!

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
