 |  AM 30% YAK, first gasser Maiden.
AM 30% Yak 54 ZDZ 60 W/ 22x8 break-in prop Futaba 8CH PCM HS5645's for Ailerons and Elevators HS5955 for the Rudder. HS645 throttle Ign. Batt - 4 cell, 2500 mAH NiMH 2 - Cermark 5 cell, 2700mAH NiMH Battery packs. Smart-Fly BattShare Approx. Weight close to 19lbs. Well I finally maidened my first gasser this Saturday. Take off was very ugly because my rates and expo were not set right, but after a minute I settled down and all it needed was 2 clicks of UP and that was it. New ZDZ60 started right up, sounded and ran great, very impressed with the engine so far. Flight report, I LOVED IT !!! The plane flies like a U-CAN DO on steroids, what a floater ! Only got 1 flight in due to weather and my nerves but I am glad the maiden is over with. Now I have to wait for who knows how long for this crappy Northern Ohio weather to get better. Anyhow I know I will be hucking this bird soon. Here's a couple of pics. |

Pretty bird, glad everything went okay! We have a bunch of guys from Ohio flying with us over the weekend. Almost 80 yesterday. They're flying and smiling!

Nice Plane!! Glad you had a sucessful flight! What day did you Fly!?! Hmm. I guess Saturday might have been ok.. I was out of commission Sat (Family Obligations), so I guess I didn't even notice the weather. I wanted to maiden the EF 300 on Sunday... Blahhhhh rain all DAY! 4 more weeks my Ohio brother... then we at least have a 50/50 chance of flying!!

That's a little on the heavy side I think and they still float! I guess AM is the real deal ehh? Glad she is alive!

| Re: AM 30% YAK, first gasser Maiden.
I was really ticked off Sunday, it was warm but as usual here in Ohio it was WET. The rest of this weeks weather looks like crappola too ! Man 4 weeks seems like a year at this point.
Yeah, it is on the heavy side but man this plane still flies really light. I'm so glad the maiden went well too. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Well, I give you props on the color scheme choice! It's what I would have chosen...

My choices would have been, 1st - The scheme I chose was my first choice. I really like the looks. 2nd - The Red/White and Blue scheme. 3rd - The Blue and Yellow Flame scheme. 4th - The Purple scheme. 5th - The Silver scheme. | |||||||||||||||
