RE: Extreme Flight 88" Yak - Build and Fly
My brother worked for UPS. The stories he used to tell.....I've been pretty lucky with them myself. LOL, Now he works for FEDEX, and they just did a hell of a number on a helicopter I shipped in a plywood crate.
All I can say about my other brand yak is that it is a much smaller looking plane and it weighs at least a pound and a half more than this one will. The landing gear mounting on this one is worlds better also.
I pissed and moaned a bit when I made a stupid mistake drilling my firewall, but I don't hold that against the plane or EF. Just my own dumb ass fault! I've been happy with every EF plane I own. This is the 5th or 6th. They way EF handled a problem I had with an early extra kit earned them a customer for life. Sorry Chris, but I will be back for more. I'll try not to do anything stupid and ***** about it online. I've been looking hard at that new pattern looking electric they have. Only thing keeping me from it right now is I promised the wife I'd crash something else off first. I wonder if she would count a bashed foamie. If so, I'm gonna crash something tonight after work.

Actually, these were figures I got on another plane with 6 8411s, one 8611a and two 811s.
I note the charge amount in the shop to track the consumption and it has been very consistent in terms of the amount used for a 12min flight.

For you guys using the Brillelli w/stock muffler, are you having to us expo on your throttle. I have a JR 6102 and it doesn't have that feature.

Has anyone used the new Hitec Fusion 9 receiver. It's synthesized and sets to your transmitter frequency with the push of a button. Actual 9 channel rx. My LHS is recommending them but I'm not sure. Price is only $99.00.

If you don't have expo on throttle, just make sure to get full travel AKA 100% by physical geometry of the arms and linkage.. That way at least you will have full resolution in the control ...and smoooooth linearity in repsonse.
If you have to cut down the throws in the menu's...the resolution goes to heck.

Wouldn't HS-5985's be plenty on the ailerons and elevators?

Two questions. I have the DA50 with stock muffler and 3" standoffs. Can I get an inch of prop clearance from the cowl and not have CG issues?? Also, can the PSP titanium axles be used with the spats with no mods. If not, what do I need to do?? Thanks in advance.

I just orderd 2-1/2" standoffs for my DA-50, the three inch pushed the engine to far forward and besides balance it looked to me like the engine was starting to come out of the cowl, forward.
