Status: offline 		the 645s are 130oz at 6v and they are metal geared just not digital.. the digital 5645s are $10 more a piece and worth it.. im only using the 645s because i allready have them.. if i was buying some i would go 5645 they rate 168oz at 6v and are faster

Status: offline 		making more progress,, I had to do some mega cowl hacking for the YS-110 and ended up using the header off my 140 to make it fit better without hacking more..

Status: offline 		Drum, it's starting to look like an airplane!!!!! Wow, that really does look nice. I received mine today at noon. I had just enough time to open the box and look inside. It seems to have arrived fine and in good shape. Looks like a great plane. I'll probably start assembling it sometime on Monday as I have family activities planned for the long weekend. I can't wait to get this baby flying. Please let us know as soon as yours hits the air. From the looks of things you aren't far off. I'm still building the Yak but I may have it done tonight. Man, no planes for two months and now I've got two to build,
thanks.
Barry

Status: offline 		after looking through my manual it dont say anywhere about puting nuts on any of the horn.. says nothing about nuts on ailerons, but on page 13 for the elevator in the discription of what needed it says 2 8/32 flange nuts, but in the pictures and instructions nothing.. but when you get to rudder page 26 if not using a pull pull there is no mention of the nuts but in the picture there is but here is the problem.. i only recieved nuts for the rudder in a pull pull. no other 8/32 flange nuts were provided.. I think im going to step back and go get some flange nuts and put on all of them. that is the last thing i need

Status: offline 		well i went to the hardware store and got some flanged 8/32 nuts so i can ease my mind..

also one other thing if you are thinking about this plane and are going to skimp on servos. i suggest you look somewhere else... to get mikes recomended 3d rates in the manual ALL surfaces are within Millimeters if banging the trailing edges with a 1 1/4 horn.. im running 645MGs on 6v and am thinking about going for the 5645s allready. you wont hear of anyone going beyond the recommended rates because they are MAXED I CANT WAIT

with the YS 110 i am almost done. I have balanced it from time to time through the build . the CG has allways been pretty close.. i have not decided wich way i going on rudder yet. i will have to do it very last and then it will just be a matter of moving the battery around for CG (just the way i like em)

So far i havent one bad complaint other than the 8/32 nut deal i explaned before
