Composite-ARF 3M Yak 55 sp Build

[pepatrick]

I am using a single 8711...they are holding up fine after more than 100 flights. The only slop I have is in the linkage...and I might even have that problem solved...using the right size bolts and a washer on each side of the ball link...its pretty tight...

That`s nice! I have been a little worried about slop developing in these servos,
I am also using 8711 for the elevators. Going to use a Seiko servo on a 3-cell li-ion for the rudder and Hitec 7955 TG for ailerons. I have spent to much money on SWB servo trays, so I am looking forward to test the Seiko servo for the first time.

The rest of my setup is
Emcotec DPSI RV
Li-Manganese batteries for rx. 3ah *2 Duralite cells
Li-Manganese battery for ign. 3,8ah *1 Duralite cell
Electro dynamics kill switch
3w 170 CS TS with cannisters from krumcheid
Maybe I mount a smoke system

if any of you have been keeping up with my build threads you know I crashed my 300SX about 6 months ago,today I took the servos out of the elevators, put one in the phenolic plate to replace the bad one I had in my 260, would not work???? I played with it a little while then hit me to look at the bottom case,I lost my 300SX due to something goofy on the elevators, I thought it was lock-out, the bottom of the case is fried!!! a hole is burnt right through, pulled the case apart, circuit board has a hole burnt through it, and this servo had a plastic gear in it, I thought the 9156 was suppose to have all metal gears, the on that stripped did, I purchased these servos right after they released them to the public( as soon as Tower recieved them) so I took the gear I needed from that servo and that gives me one spare until the new one comes in

alrighty then, the 260 is back in action, now I can get busy trying to get the 2009 sportsman down pat.
tomorrow I will get the rudder off the Yak and do the repair, I should have it ready for this weekend.
It is going to be nice to have two planes back at the field, I have been down to the 260 for a while now,
should be 69* we will have to see what the wind is like.

Somebody posted that earlier today..I am waiting for you to get one.

It still probably is not as loud.. ..Definately not as loud as a DA-170 swinging a Vess 32b...

I prefered the Mejzlik 30x12 on mine DA150 on KS1090 pipes. The mejzlik 32x10 was good also.

I would try a 30x12 Mejzlik on the DA170 on cans.

Thanks for the tip I do Have cans, What do you think about the Vess 32 C is a wood prop ??

[pepatrick]

32x10 pulls the DA-170 powered Compy Yak with authority...and lots of it. I switch off between the 32x10 and Mejzlik 29x12 3 blade. 29x12 3 blade is smoother, but does not pull as well, but it does pull better than my 30x12...for what its worth.

[John Blackwell]

the 29-12-3 n is for sure the best prop for IMAC this prop has the best transition and speed control you can ask for.

[cjbravo]

Thanks.... I wheel try the 29-12 3B, but I do really like my 30*10 ALSO...
