If I am running a 4.8V 2500mah battery, what servos would you recommend?

Status: offline 		Hello Everyone,

I am just joining this forum so I figure I will introduce myself. I just recently got back into R/C after a slight break due to time crunches with school. I was ALWAYS Quique Aircraft's BIGGEST advocate. I was in love with the planes and am a complete Yak-oholic. However, I never had the money to afford one of the larger Yak's. Now, I think I will have the resources to afford and properly equip this plane. It's the perfect size and is made by the perfect company.

There has been lots of debate about engines so far on the forum, so I wanted to see if i have a general idea of everyone's conclusions.

Saito 125 Four-stroke/O.S. 120 Four-stroke/YS 110 Four-stroke/O.S. 120 AX Two-stroke

Are these the main possibilities that everyone has liked?

Also, if these are the engines of choice, as far as the four-strokes are concerned which one is the most user-friendly? I only ask because I have heard negative things about YS engines and the constant tweaking they demand.

Thank you all for the help,
Matt

Status: offline 		I just wanted to post my findings with my OS 1.20AX 2-stroke on a MACS tuned pipe/header comb..
It will spin the 17x6 with stock muffler around 9200 RPM's.
I was using Wildcat/YS Performace 20%nitro 2or 4 stroke fuel.

tuned pipe w/a 17x6 APC prop 10000-10500 RPMS
That is a 1000+ RPM increase folks!!!
I am sure no one here is going to go for Scale show apperance?????
put that pipe on it and haul bones!!...
That will save you that 30% heli fuel and you engine will last longer....

Is there any updates on the correct landing gear for this plane?

Thanks,

I'm interesting in learning about landing gear updates too, and if there is no update, I'd be interested to know if there's a third party landing gear available that will fit the 69" Yak. Preferably something made out of carbon fibre to keep the weight down.

#220 QuiQue 72" Yak 54 Version 4D
3-1/2" Base / 7-1/4" Total Height / 13-1/4" Spread / 1-1/4" to 7/8"
This gear is 1" Taller than stock and can be cut down if needed.

And did you mean ask them to cut off the extra 1"?

Status: offline 		That's the one. The top is 1.25" and that won't fit in the slot. That's what you need to have sanded down. As far as the height, I'm just letting mine sit a little higher. You could cut it down if you wanted to. I drilled my axle hole in the middle of where it would go and it sits about 1/4-1/2" higher.

I'd much rather have the stock gear, painted in the right color, without it being all cut up.
