BBW 32% Yak

[Cracky]

Talking about a BBW without a picture to show is like trying to describe Pamela Anderson without a Playboy to show.

But most important it is a BBW (Built By Walt).

Hey you might want to do that rudder in a push - pull arangement. Push push might not work to good

Push Push makes the plane longer and track straighter

Makes sense Hey Chris I just gave the Horizon guys some budget prices for their runway they want to build down there. These guys are insane. 50 X 800, 75 X 900
and 100 X 1200. You guys are gonna have a nice field. Just wish I could come down there and pave it.

Trying to have the best in the area. once the field gets put in me and wife will be looking a house close to the field. Already been looking but we do not want to do anything till we see pavment on the ground.

[Cracky]

Chris, if you can push your airplane to the field that is an added bonus!

[Road Builder]

Yeah sound pretty cool. I met Mike Sieniarecki up here at Fox Valley this summer. I told him I'd help out any way I can. Sorry Tbob, didn't mean to interupt "your" build thread.

Jay

[Chris Puckett]

Jay please never say sorry to Tbag. Mike S. is a good guy. Fick being able to push the plane to the field would be cool but not alot of housing around the field. This will be cheaper than having my own field. Sorry Walt proceed with the build

yah, your blessings are what was holding him up....LOL

T.Bob, did you ever get him that double arm that he was needing???

Wings fit up: wings set up pretty well. One side will need some fitting for the root rib to set flush but all in all its a good fit..first time wings have been set on....No root ribs attached in pictures

[T. Bob]

Root rib set up: 30 minute Epoxy and micro"balloons.

Wing incidence set: The fuse is setting on a block where the landing gear bolts on cause its flat. The tail is setting on a concrete block with a hardwood block on top of it. With a 2 ft level setting on the firewall and the rear motorbox former I adjust and shim till its dead level. Take the level and turn it sideways directly over the fuse phenolic and shim till its dead level. Install both wings and maintain level across the motorbox wing span wise directly above the fuse phenolic. I have 4 foam wedges that I support the wing tips on and adjust all this keeping everything level. With the wing meter support I set the wings to 0.0. This whole process is supported with the foam underneath and its set up so that the weight of the digital levels do not shift the plane setting as it is. With repeated checks and rechecks with all points at 0.0 I glue 2 -3/8ths balsa blocks to hold the 0 incidence under the trailing edge tack glued to the fuse. Its set, dead on 0.0 everywhere. I meter the wings in the span center,

Hey Walt, since you are the one actually slappin this puppy together are you going to go ahead and put boost tabs on it for T.Bob? He could do without a couple of servos (he's already lost a bunch of screws)!
