Rennie, That's a definite maybe on the Lakeland deal. I actually want to talk to you about that and some other things. I don't know exactly what the FOF is.


HELP--- I am thinking of replacing the regs on the new plane. I'm a little gun shy since that fixed reg went out on the ignition on the first day of flying. I am trying to decide on whether to go with the Fromeco adjustable regulator or the MPI heavy duty adjustable regulator. I've read everything that I can find on these two, and of course, everybody loves the Fromeco, but haven't seen anything negative about the MPI adjustable. What do you guys think?
Whatever regulator you decide to use 1- Make sure you use the proper gauge wire and connectors 2- Verify that they receive adequate ventilation ( measure their temp.) Almost all premature reg. failures are due to these issues. We have had good results with both brands . Give Donnie or Me a call we will be glad to help

Lou thanks again for the engine! I cant wait to get it on a plane. I'm think a SD Yak or that Krill Sukhoi. THAT THING IS AWESOME! I assume about $1500 for the airframe. Any suggestions are appreciated!

All this talk about new airplanes will eventually be bad for my wallet. Makes me want another one. I'm already waiting on Chris at EF to get his next container unloaded. There is a Yak in Hong Kong bay with my name on it.

Why do I need a new Yak? Don't ask.

For that price why don't you just build a Dalton and get good experience building a kit? Plus they fly a lot better.
