Well, MrKiwi finally got a gasser! It's a QQ 102 yak! This will be the slowest build thread. Can you guess who's plane this was?

Guess no one is too interested....

its only been about an hour and a half and its a saturday night...dont worry, the posts will come Plane looks awesome dude! Zak West is a good pilot. Did you get a good deal on it?

lol, the excitment made me impatient. Hehe. Yeah, I got a great deal on the yak.

nice!!!! i to got a used yak late january,, only the 85 tho haha looks good

Ok, anyway, I'll be asking A LOT of questions during the build! Ok, so what is a good basic 3D/imac setup? I already have the servos planned out, 5985 on rudder, and 985's all around.
Should I use a Smart-Fly equalizer for matching the alirons? Or some other method. I have a Tanic 4200ma battery that was included (thanks Zak!). What regulater do I need?

Thanks!

First and for most, the reason it is called the slowest build thread is because it will be a while till I can save up enough money to buy all the parts. Right now I need to buy smart fly equalizers for the rudder, elivator, and alirons. 4 of them which equals lots of $$$$. Then there is the misc extension etc... Then I need to but 3 more Hs-985. $70 each. Yikes! All donations appreciated. hehehehe

sleepyC still has the longest slowest build thread ever... hehe

Looks good mr K !! Have fun !!

You are using two RX's right? A simple and very durable setup is the Wolverine switches and Fromeco Regs and if you know anyone with a hitec programmer they can get all your servos matched on each surface. Less weight and clean setup.

Awesome MrKiwi! You are gonna love that plane dude!

Hey MADMAX, how come your green light aint on...you sneakin' around the site? hehehe

Lomchevac, I am still debating on weather to go Spektrum or FM. If I was to go with Spektrum, I would go with the Ar 9000 receiver. From the pics, it looks like you can have 2 remote receivers. How do I have split receivers? I am only running digitals on the rudder, so I will have to run equalizer on every thing else. I was also going to use a smart-fly power expander, so would I have to have 2 recievers? I already have 1 Smart-Fly switch, and plan to run another one.

My greenlight is always off, the only way to avoid a flood of pager messages.

The duel RX is for extra security and really is recommended on 30% and up. I beleive you will have to have 2 power expanders for duel RX's. You simply just hook one side of the control surfaces to one rx and the other side to the other,alot of people run a choke also and hook throttle to one rx and choke to other so you can kill engine either way, and you need a battery pack for each side and a duel switch (Wolverine is nice)
