The terd you saturate your drawers with while flying it with that 85 will be huge. Please post video. Your Yak will give a new meaning to "upchuck". Frickin awesome.

HAHA ROFL!!!!

That MVVS Motor is a little heavy, but it's a rocket machine.

I found it too floaty on the 50cc, its much better on the 58 and I'm sure would be magic on the DA 85. Its great to see the wings bend in flat out KE circuits, thats an experience you just wont get unless your plane is stupidly overpowered or a bit floppy! Heres a vid: YouTube - windy practice Thomas

Awesome flying. Good stuff. I really like the highspeed backwards manuever..

The way I looked at it was that if I don't like the 85 in this airframe....what's the worst that can happen?! I'll have an awesome motor and pipe to put in another airframe....maybe a 100cc EF Extra . DA-100L on pipes and smoke coming soon on the 110" Yak.

Tell ya what Parker. I'll get the 110 Yak and put a DA 100L on it and you put the 85 in another 110... Let's see what happens.

Dang Parker, that's gonna be a rocket machine!

U gonna have it ready for Jacksonville?

Yep Plane will be flying next week once the pipe gets here probably Monday. I'm going to get the mounts ready to accept the pipe so that all that will need to be done is relocate the batteries and install the pipe.

I've already flown this plane on a 12S Electic setup, but I am almost 100% this setup power-to-weight ratio will = FUN!! ....oh and no more recharging...just fuel and go!

Um NO...LOL...Guess we can see who gets the plane first!

[wc524]

WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!

UPS SHOWED UP EARLY!

Guess I've got some work to get this puppy mounted and mostly finished tonight!

Will get some pics once I get home!

Good luck, this thing is going to rock

waiting for the video

[wc524]

All I can say is DANG THAT RE3 IS BIG! It's a tight fit, but with some coaxing and a little dremel work the pipe fits! I was also a little scared about the pipe being too long for the tunnel, but no worries...it fits with about 1/2" to spare.

I was just test fitting the pipe and the header 25mm drop flex from DA it fits wonderfully. And the 3-blade.....WHAT A BEAUTY! It actually looks like it should go on the airframe unlike some 22" props I've seen on these Yaks. Can't wait to get the rest of the install going. It may be next week before the test flight though since there is so much work to be done like installing the pipe mounts, throttle/choke servos, and also cutting out the motor mount.

Going to order a 4.5" spinner for it next week too to finish it off.

[danielph]

Awesome! Glad everything fit for the most part!

[cjcyclesrc]

That prop looks good on the plane.

I would also put a couple of dubro cowl mounts to help support it. I have already have a block break lose with my DA-50. It took 2 years to break, so i'm not complaining. I have a DA-85 on H9 suk and the power, well you'l see the power when the motor box comes lose from the fuse. Diffently row vid its gona be good.
And Chris I'm about ready for a 110" to match my 88"!
