Great pcitures. Was the plane nose heavy or tail heavy during the build? Is the pull pull exit on the fuse existing or you had to make it?

Thanks

Good video Ken, Got my engine mounted tonight, hopefully mine will be finished in a week or two. what did you start out with for throws on low rates? Thanks Brian

SMOKEY · 08-26-2006, 10:18 PM

Haase..can you post some pics of your build process?

Smokey

Haase · 08-26-2006, 10:39 PM

SmokinKat · 08-26-2006, 10:47 PM

Hasse.....im flying on 3D rates only. It's that good......70 expo on elev and aileron, 35% on rudder.
Low rates.......50% of max throws on ail / elev and 65% of max on rudder for throws

Haase · 08-27-2006, 08:47 PM

Here are some pics of the build, started this week and is going well. Mounted the 3w-106 had to cut 2 3/8 off the motor box and used 3/4 stondoffs to give me 1/8 of a inch past the cowl. Elevators are next, getting the servos mounted and arms are always fun, no big deal though. Better to have them mounted inside.

Heres one more.

SmokinKat · 08-27-2006, 09:17 PM

Looks good Brian!!!

Haase · 08-27-2006, 10:42 PM

Thanks Ken, Im actually more excited about getting this one done than I was my Yak. Its nice to go to the field and have something different than everyone else and fly just as good.

Aye Men to that brother!!!! Every where you go you see Yaks and Extras. Not knocking them of course, they fly and look awsome, but I like to show up with something that stands out too.

Haase · 08-28-2006, 10:54 PM

On my cowl the velocity stack will stick out around 1/4 of an inch on the bottom, will that affect the carb at all?
Thanks Brian

SmokinKat · 08-28-2006, 11:32 PM

Dont think so.......I think you will be fine with that set up.

torquen · 08-29-2006, 12:01 AM

Brian, you will be just fine. With the 90 deg stack it does not matter how the air hits the carb.
