Interesting! That had to take some serious experimenting to get right...could you imagine control reversal on the first test runs?


I wonder how long till Bob has one to replace the HoverDisc?

Ken, I have my name on the list for another Yak, that shipment is supposed to arrive in 2 weeks to EF. If something falls thru with that one I will be in touch. I certainly HIGHLY appreciate the gesture. It will be a week or 2 until I get the motor off to DA and all the electronics and 9303 off to Horizon so by the time I would get that stuff back I "should" have a plane here. Once again I thank you for the offer and may take you up on it if I can't get one of the few that Chris Hinson said were unspoken for on this container.

It did the same thing on the turn for final so I cut the throttle trim way back and decided that as soon as I was over the threshold of the road to the north end I was going to set it down in the grass ASAP. I was 150 feet or so out when it did it again and I didn't have enough altitude to do anything but watch(and hear it) Thud into the soybeans. Needless to say most of the front part of the fuse is in a garbage bag, the rear of the fuse is the only thing that didnt get crunched. I don't know if I will ever know what caused it to start doing that, after we found all the satellite receivers everything checked OK at the crash site. RIP Yak #1
I PM'ed Chris Hinson and he said he has a container coming in next month.

Jason,
I do do you.n't that would even be enought for the cowl. I must admit, you never give up. I guess that's a good thing. When are you going to fire up that Syssa?

I had to ask ! The Syssa is in the RC Guys Decathlon, it has I think 5 flights on it. Haven't flown it in a couple of weeks, a fuel line came loose in Virginia and with work and school I have not taken time to dig in to it. The only complaint I have had at all is it was hard to prime first flight of the day. Seems that was because of the fuel line though. Oh, and the muffler gasket blew out, so I'm going to have to undo that beautiful safety wire job to put some Permatex red on there.

It seems to run great. In the Decathlon it kind of feels like a Ferrari V12 in a mini van.....

Jason
