So who has this new set up? Has anyone got the Aeroworks vinyl kit for there plane? how is the quality of the vinyl?

smarks · 03-13-2009, 01:23 PM

I have the 150cc with the graphics package. Quality of the kit and the vinyl is excellent. I'm sure it is the same on the 100cc. I have actually seen the 100cc in person with the graphics at AW's shop.

Jdearduff,

I have my 100cc YAK sitting in the corner with all the gear needed and will probably start my build next week

. Let me know what you end up with concerning the decals. I know Aeroworks has a set for this plane as well as Bad Brad Graphics. I kind of like the Bad Brad set better and it's $40 cheaper. I have his graphics set on my AW 100cc Extra 260 and they are holding up very well and look great

.

I have used Bad Brad for all of my planes. He does great work. I am not sure if I like the setup he has for this plane. And I am having trouble coming up with my own thing. I had planed on using the Aeroworks vinyl but they will not have any for a month or so. Dennis Kirby is working on something for me right now.

Let me know what Dennis you comes up with.

Well here it is. Dennis Kirby came up with some nice decals. I love this plane. I will be flying this one for a long time.

Skippykix · 03-29-2009, 07:06 PM

Man those graphics are awsome

! Looks like they came up with a sweet package for you. I'm in the finishing stages with mine, got the engine mounted up today and programmed all of the servos in the wings and stabs last night. It won't be long now

Did you have any issues cutting those louvers in the bottom of the cowl? What method did you use to cut them out with? Let me know how your maiden flight turns out, I noticed how much thicker the wings are compared to my AW 260 and I'm just curious how different it flys.

I flew the plane a couple of weeks ago. The plane flys great. This is my second one and this one is the best of the two. Only had to add a couple of clicks of down and she flys perfect so far. As far as the louvers go I just use the templets they give and a sharpe. Then a Dremel tool. Real easy. I have never flown a 260, but with this fat wing the Yak is a real floater.

Looks great jdearduff!
