Anyone in the AZ, CA area want to sell theirs RTF??

[t-moller]

Has any one had problems with a straight JR 921 2.4 ghz receiver with two power inputs directly to the receiver with power fades?

I'm wondering if one should get the JR 922 with the two monster power plugs or go with a JR 921 with the standard battery/servo plugs for power inputs?

I'm was thinking of using the Wolverine switch to two of the Fromco Sahara regulators and then directly into the receiver.

Suggestions/comments appreciated.

I am the same way!

I haven't had any problems with the two power inputs on 50cc planes. I would figure you would be ok, but it would be good to plug another power lead into an open channel on the RX. I'm glad I don't run regulators anymore. It's nice to plug the batteries straight into a 922 and use the built in soft switch. If you need a regulator it works good to use a Smartfly Super/Turbo Reg with the 922. It also has a built in soft switch so you can just use one pin flag. What batteries are you using? How do plan to match the wing servos?

Can I build the yak RTF with DA-100 and pipes without exceeding $4000? Help with set up please.
I have rx, and tx.
Thanks

I done mine for 2200.00 ...Da100, 8611's, 7950 servo's, ect Just done some really good trades and some serious bargain hunting.

same thing with me not long enough. extreme flight said it works on theirs and left it at that. im afraid we all had to buy longer turnbucles

Could also try and re-do the programming. Sometimes when you forget to hit enter when setting the end-points the programming messes up. Good luck with it and let us know when you figured it out and what your solution was. tm

New servo came in and all is well. speed and throw match up perfectly no lag at all. so it was a bad servo after all..

by the time you buy the 921 and wolverine you might as well get the 922. it comes with a failsafe switch and never have to worry about power aslong as your batteries are up to the task. but 3 power inputs should be very good on the 921.

Here is a Little mod i made for the yak. I put on some side force generators. and it really makes a big difference. i always had a little wing rock on my yak and i know alot of you guys can do it without any problems, but these little things really make it rock solid with no effort. im no longer fighting it with ailerons it settles right in. and it even gives a little more rudder authority too. made these with birch wood ply and cut out holes to make them real light. George Hicks is the guy who started these side force generators and my hat is off to him. this really made my flying even more enjoyable. i try and borrow a video camera and put up the video here.

Kind of a cool idea on such a big plane. I don't quite understand how it would do anything for wing rock, but if you say it knocks it out. I say very cool. I may have to give it a shot myself. How are they attached? It looks like nylon 1/4 20's are they just threaded into the wing tip or did you tap it somehow.

I was originally going to go with the DA100 with RE2 pipes but now I am planning on waiting for the DA120. This made putting the cowl on and off easy because of the lack of muffle stacks. However, I don't think I will need pipes on the 120 the way it sounds like it is performing. But my question are to the people with the 100 and stock mufflers...How do you get the cowling on with the baffle in place, forward support former and the muffler stacks sticking out below. It appears to be a geometrical nightamare to get the cowl on and off. Maybe I willgo with pipes when more reports are released about the 120

drilled a hole a bit smaller than the nylon bolt. Then threaded it in and out. Put thin CA in the hole to harden the thread. I don't know all the science behind why it tames the wing rock. i just know it does. i did same thing on a prior plane. try it im sure you will agree.
