That star looks good on the rudder.

Dave,

Looking good sounds like that ZDZ is running sweet.

Thanks. I just recieved my graphics for this and my 88" Extra today from http://scottsrc.com/ and he did a great job and gave me just what I wanted as usual. The camera sucks inside but its too cold outside for just pics right now. This is my 2nd 110" and I can't wait to fly this one as its quite a bit lighter than the other I got rid of. I'm tempted to head somewhere warmer for a few days to just fly.

Maidened today. Official member of the BIG WOW club. Two flights. Baffle came loose, so quit. CG at recommended numbers, but needs to shift aft for my taste. Need to get more throw on the stabs. Flew my buddy's 110" with aft CG and more throw on the elevators and it is nearly perfect. Taking it to Jacksonville 3DFX tomorrow for more fun and games. Oh, yeah, DA-85 with Slimline Pitts muffler is plenty of power! Maybe not stupid power, but plenty. Very similar to my 88" with the DA50 on pipe.

This Yak is just ridiculous....I mean you can literally take a break during the flight grab a cup of coffee or a coke and this thing will fly itself. I thought the 74" was bada$$.... As advertised good job Chris!

Status: offline 		I got the yello/black/silver scheme. I am going with a DL 100 on stock mufflers. I blew my wad on cannisters for my Quique Pitts Python. I am going to use Hitec 7955 all round with a Spectrum AR9100 with 2 2300 A123's. I am trying to go a lite as possible so I am hoping to use a programmer on the ailerons. I have a carbon fiber spinner and a 27 x 10 Mejzlik prop. If you have any suggestions let me know.

Kent,

Sounds good. It sounds like you are going this route but I would suggest 2 servo's on the rudder. I can tell a difference in the way the rudder feels between one 8711 and two 7955's. The 8711 I had only lasted 59 flights, but I must have had a bad one. I attached a picture of the servos set up the Harris way. I'm using the AR9100 and 3 2300 A123's and it's working great.

I just bought a new QQ Python also. How do you like yours?

I use 1.25 in servo arms on my 110" Yak. Get 40 dgrees each way, & am very happy with it. I so mostly sequence flying, with a little 3D thrown in. Try it.

You are absolutely right, my sequence got out of whack. I am trying to quit smoking, I wish it was as easy as hitting the tx switch while flying my Python.
OK, new sequence- fly, fly, fly, with less BS time in the pit area.
Sorry, I won't discuss crashing I am in denial.
