Nah, a lot of the professional pilots use Matchboxes, but thewrap doesnt. So that means you can't use em.

It's called spiral wrap. Vic is right - Radio Shack is the easiest place to find it.

The power expander that this wrap kid is talking about might be the EQ10, which basically has the exact same thing as a matchbox in it, so he would still be using those matching thingies...

In my opinion they add complexity. I understand powerexpanders though.

I think he's referring to the Expander Sport. Why would somebody need an EQ10 on a 50cc plane? or even a Power Expander at that....

Well today my canisters came in. So it is back to work!!!!

Patrick Holowesko · 07-13-2007, 10:40 PM

How much in total did this plane run ?? with all the electronics you are going to put on and have already put on? thinkng of getting one but not sure if its in my price range

Sukhoikid · 07-13-2007, 11:20 PM

Well lets see for me.

Airframe: 1020 including hardware and shipping
Engine 3w106 $800 used
Canisters: 480
Prop: 110
4 5955 hitecs- $340
Other servos: $300
Rx: 150
Other: 200

So anywhere around 3500 + or -.

Probably just for my freestyle for now. If I like it when I fly it for imac I might fly it for the precision to. Not sure yet. I will most likely stick with the 260 for precision because I have been working with it trimming it out and putting mixing in it and I have got it flying a lot better now. Still could use a lot of work but it is better than what it was.

I would ditch all the matchboxes you are using. They are a waste of time and money!!!!!!!

Already had matchboxes anyway so no money wasted

To me they make the airplane look neater inside. Plus they are easy to program.

mxcop · 07-16-2007, 04:31 PM

There is absolutely nothing wrong with using matchboxes, in fact many of the top pilots in the world use them. Maybe someone should start a thread about matchboxes vs. power expanders/boxes since this thread is about the Gen III Yak.

Sukhoikid · 07-16-2007, 04:59 PM

Tonight we plan to have the motor mounted and cans installed hopefully!!!! The rest of my stuff is coming in Wednesday so hopefully by end of wednesday or Thursday she will be done!!!

Yes they use them cause most of the time they dont pay for them. Why even pay for them when they are not needed.
