AeroWorks 150cc Yak-54 Project

Well, early this year, back in march, about 7 of us went down to the Biggest swap meet on the east coast, in Perry, GA., 1100 table, my first time, I pickup a aeroworks 42% Yak-54, it needed some work, the right wing has damage, and missing the engine cowl, the rest is nice, I pickup other planes, but sold them, so this Yak-54, is going to be my next project, well called AeroWorks, and order a cowl last week, hope to see it this week, I place a ad, for a nice right wing for it, well, two guys got back with me, both have a set of wings and the right color scheme, waiting on pictures, from both guys, you can check out some pics, will show progress on this big bird

Well, since I posted this 42% AW Yak-54, I've order a engine cowl, from AeroWorks, but it came in the wrong color scheme, so call AW and rocco the owner sent me another one out fast, so now I have the right one, going to used the DA 150 off my ,40% Robert Godfrey Extra 300, not flown it this year yet, I will order a DLE 170cc for it this winter, but now I like to get it in the air, by mid Sept., found a club member to rebuild the right wing, for $375.00 complete, now I been trying to come up with a good servo to use, the main wing has 3 servo, most guys been using 2 servo, using 3 servo allow you to use a less of a torque servo, Im thinking about 600 oz per wing is good enough, there are 2 servo per back wing, but Im going to use one high torque I think ?, well, Im on vacation now, but will be back next week, time to get busy on this Big Bird !!!!!!!

AeroWorks 150cc Yak-54 Project

Well, after talking to three guys that said they had extra wings to sell to me, all fell thru, so I found a club member, that's going to rebuild the right wing, aerowork is asking $450.00 plus shipping for the wing, to high for me, well I order a engine cowl, and aeroworks sent the wrong color scheme, so I sent rocco a email, the owner, and the right color scheme was sent quickly, Thanks to rocco, so now I need to choice a servo, that Im going to use, there are three servo per main wing, or I can use two high torque servo, well, here is some pics of the new engine cowl.

I'm also looking for a set of wings same color scheme as yours. You mentioned two guys had responded, I would appreciate contact info on either or both if you don't go that route
Thanks
