Just recieved the Yak and I'm in the process of installing 7955's in the stabs with the provided hardware. It may be mentioned in the previous pages, but I find the 2-1/2" turnbuckles to be too short for a proper connection. Also I believe the elevator horns need to be cut shorter to get enough elevator throw. Can anyone provide info or pictures of their install? Thanks

mine needed 3" turnbuckles, the 2.5s worked for ailerons but not ele, i think some kits were different than others and some didnt include what was needed, you can call them and they will most likely send them to you but i just bought some on my own, they were aware of it though, guess there is still some like that, not all were set up that way....i did not have to cut the horns though, that sounds strange? i did have to lengthen the slot a bit to get the arm to go further, id ask about the horn thing though

I dropped down and used the inner holes in the control horns on the elevators with 1 1/2" servo arms. I also had to use longer pushrods after doing so. This got me a full 45 degree throw both ways. If you go this route, be sure to grind off the extra material off the control horn. It will hit the swivel ball link if you don't. If you don't want to do this, you can get 2" servo arms and use the 1 3/4" hole.

Yeah, the Wolverines are great! That's what I'm using. Another thing about them is that the power doesn't come together until after the switches so if one battery fails or has a power surge, it should eliminate it before they merge. It's a great system.

those switches are even better than i thought when i 1st bought them then

Hello,
Are their any videos of this plane flying on a piped DA-85? Ive been searching with no luck. I plan to build this plane with a DA-100 stock mufflers, but would like to se the preformance with the 85.
Thanks

[danielph]

I don't think that I've seen a video, but Robert Vess had his on an DA-85/RE2 pipe and he said that the performance was actually greater than the 100 on mufflers.

[diamondave5]

there was a vid of chris and the original scheme with a 85 on pipes, not sure where it came from or where it is...i will look

[diamondave5]

ask and you shall recieve
i believe this is da85 on pipe
