Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Hmmmmm............Tell me more about this sponsorship  We have lots of stuff to sell, we were planning on putting them up for sell here on FG, Like a brand new 3W 212 4 cylinder Competition series with mufflers minus ignitions, a brand new 42% 125" Jtech/Radiowave Extra 330L ARF, a 3W 106 TOC version, Just a bunch of stuff that I have no interest in anymore since I plan to only fly Hempel Planes now.

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Mike--
Let me know when you plan to sell the 106. I may have an Ulti to put it in! I just can't get a plane as big as the Hemple....Don't have a way to transport it.

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Well we did not get a full day to work on the Yak but today we did get the wheels installed and cut
the axels, we installed the Fiber optic kill switches with the LED lights and started to secure all of the servo wires.

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Today the plan is to get the mufflers installed, install the Glass fuel filter and secure the Cowl.
then we will be waiting around for the fuel tanks and titanium control rods to show up in the mail............As soon as the fuel tanks arrive we can test run the engine. then all we have left is to install the control rods and set the throws in the controls and she will be ready for flight number 1.

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
No, not really........... My dad got a good deal on the Spektrum so we figured we would give it a try. I am still flying the Xtreme Link in the Edge and still have had no problems.

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Gotcha. You'll like the Spektrum as well. Get the data logger so you can optimize your signal reception.
At least now you'll still be able to fly if you send in your XPS gear for the upgrade to full time freq hop at the end of Oct

Re: BH 50% Yak 55 build thread!
Here we installed the control rods for the Ailerions, we had to drill the hard spots first then used a
drill to thread the control rod through. We then used blue lock tite on the tower nut on the bottom. After that was finished we put the N number decals on the side of the fuse.
