Dudes !! It's all fixed. I did not think it was repairable (you should have seen it, pretty bad). Well it's stronger than ever and get this....it weighs the same. I have a very accurate scale and the added weight does not even register so it's less than a half ounce. It's all balsa and thin CA with some medium CA. It's strong as hell. If I had some extra yellow covering it would have looked like new. The best I could do was cover the tear in the yellow with clear monocoat.

I doubled up the big rib with a big balsa beam and medium CA. I used this big balsa beam stock (3/16"?) all over to add strength. No question it's going to hold.

Thanks to RCU member Albatross who was over looking at it. He just chuckled and goes "yeah I could fix that". He then gave me ideas what to do. Thanks Alejandro !!

Joe

Great job 6Pack. That covering job looks first class.
I had to stick a patch on my the other day casue I dropped it on the edge of the table while adjusting the wheel pants. Sucks but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Joe great job on the repair. Glad to see that you are up and running again. Its also great ro have friends that have built a lot of kits. My buddy is a great builder and he has helped me a bunch when I huck up and plow one in.

Has anyone tried a spoke system in this bird yet?

Oh ya and tailwheel assembly. Any suggestions for a replacement?

Happy Landings

Spoke system? You must mean smoke.

For a tail wheel you can go graphtech. I recently bought the tail wheel for a H9/Carden Yak for $25 plus tax at the LHS. It's a decent CF tail wheel. It's held up to many not so perfect landings. The only thing I didn't like was that it was that the CF bracket had a small twist to it which made the wheel on a slight angle. Shimming the bracket would have taken this out but I just slapped it on. It works fine.

Hmmm. That means if they are back in stock then I would assume that 110" Yaks are in stock also.

Hows the stab incidence on this bird? Everybody knows the problems they had on the 88 inch Yak. Mine was off a 1/4 inch. Are these problems fix on this Extra yet?

Some have had the issue some haven't... they are built by humans so you are never going to have 100% perfect all the time.

Man,I've been on this thread since it started,I cant believe one is actually heading my way

I've done my homework,and own the 74" EF Yak.It had a small incidence issue,but was fixed easily.
When the 300 arrives I will dry fit it everything and make the adjustments as needed.
This is a new shipment,perhaps they have adressed this issue.
