Seriously it has two servo's per wing, must be some flappy ailerons.

Bob B · 10-21-2008, 08:26 PM

no they aren't fragile but they are very big the inst. state we should not under no cicrmstanceuse only 1 servo no matter what the torque

DEVZAK9 · 10-21-2008, 08:44 PM

Got one of these comeing to my house on thursday will post pics

Nice! I really like the shape of the fuse too.

chuck l · 10-21-2008, 09:26 PM

I've been thinking of getting one, but the fuselage is too darn long. I'm not sure it will fit in the back of my SUV. It's 7" longer than my WH Sukhoi which requires the passenger seat to be moved all the way forward. May be with the narrower fuselage, the cowl/engine will fit between the seats. Can one of you measure the width of the cowl for me?

Guys I'm finishing one now.
Its 90% done. When I get back from the ATL Huckfest I'll have the full report.

The plane is small but big.
The fuse is smaller than a funtana 90 (widthwise) but its fairly long, and the wings are stubby, but HUGE (1590sq in!)

As most of the guys buying this plane are looking for either a first time 3D gasser, or a good cheap 3D beat around plane, I slapped a DL-50 in this thing... should be fun.

Here is a shot when I was compiling all the stuff.

chucku · 10-21-2008, 09:55 PM

That color scheme is pretty cool!

chuck l · 10-21-2008, 10:35 PM

Bob,
Thanks for the measurement. There is 10" between the seats, so it should fit ok.

Bob B · 10-21-2008, 10:36 PM

sleepy I am not going to wate on your report because i can't I have to go to work on mine now it has my intrest peaked and I have to GET ER DONE;;

My 40-sized one flew like a bat out of hell with a .91 on it, I can imagine this one should be badass with a 50cc on the nose.

Bob B · 10-22-2008, 07:31 PM

I did all the prep work today re shrinking covering I tinted the canopy and did all the cut outs more as I go

Jabba did you order the automatic elevator release.

Are you gonna yank the stuff out of the yak or try to put 2 planes together?

As for the elevator release no i learned a new way to stop that just do a roller and bring it right back around. Im gonna beat the snot out of the Yak tomorrow and then maybe sunday and then goodbye to the Yak we are putting the stuff in the reactor and shelving up the Yak till we can get the stuff to put it back together

stung93 · 10-24-2008, 09:03 PM
