RE: Moving to a 100cc extra

They do fly different...things tend to happen slower (e.g., snap-rolls). You can break them in flight. It cost a lot more when you hit the ground. Transporting is a bit more challenging. ...

RE: DA spitting gunk out of one cyllinder

Thanks for the reply.

Definately not breaking in anymore as the engine is well-seasoned (as in several years of flying).

Sounds like this is normal to some degree? I was thinking maybe a...

DA spitting gunk out of one cyllinder

Hey all,

I have a DA-100 that runs great, no problems, but it's making a mess out of just one cyllinder. Any ideas? Cyllinders and rings both look good. Might be running a bit rich overall,...

RE: Looking for free foamy plans on-line

Just built a Diablo...easy to build, tough as nails, flies great.

Do a goole search for "3DBattix" and "Diablo". You will find archived plans. the original website is no longer.

RE: Basic...Really?

Hey VU,

I'm a newcomber, too. At my first event, the smallest plane there was 50cc. That being said, don't worry about it. The best part of my first contest was getting feedback from the...

RE: Yak or Extra ???

Having flown both, IMO, the Extra is a lot more fun for precision aerobatics and the Yak was more fun for 3D. That being said, you can't go wrong with either. The Extra seems to fly faster and slip...

RE: 102" Yak Stand-offs

I'm going to reply to my own thread!

I dug out the Gen I instruction manual and as I suspected, the wooden blocks included in the kit are used as engine stand offs. So yes, it appears the Gen...

102" Yak Stand-offs

I have a Gen I/II 102" Yak with DA 100 and standard mufflers. My setup has come out nose heavy...so heavy that I've added about 5 oz in the tail to balance it about 8" from the trailing edge on the...

RE: Please recall LEED VALVE SHEET!! NEW DA 100

I can tell you that a friend of mine had the same situation as pictured in the right photo with his DA-100. It is an older model DA.

RE: DA 50 - Carb Behaviour

What I do is dissasemble the carb so that the neopreme parts have been removed. Basically, you'll have the main body sans gaskets, diagraphm, and pump. Remove the needles and spray carb cleaner...

RE: DA 50 - Carb Behaviour

Just a thought, consider trying a different prop and even changing props in response to weather conditions. Try a Xoar 23A for the hot weather and a Xoar 23B when it cools off. this is not to say...

RE: 35% Cap 232 3-D Setup

35% Cap 232 3-D Setup

I just picked up a 35% Cap and I'm setting it up. I want to set it up for 3-D. The control surfaces are not double beveled and the max throw I can get on the ailerons is 30 degrees and I can get...

RE: 3D- Is it the airframe or the make that makes the difference?

Yep...that's it.

Randy has the 3W-106CS on it, which from what I can tell from the posts on here is a strong running motor.

When you originally set up the plane, did you check the...

RE: 3D- Is it the airframe or the make that makes the difference?

OK...since Rennie chimed in (and he's already talked to me about a QQ that was a bit far away), what kit should I be looking at? Will bumping up in size improve my learning curve? I'm under the...

Hey B-H,

Thanks for the reply! Hope to see you in Daytona.

Here's another twist on the original question...they say bigger is better. For example, does a 35% machine fly 3-D better than a...

3D- Is it the airframe or the make that makes the difference?

Hey gang,

Somehow, I've got it in my head that some airframes are better than others for hard-core 3-D stuff. Of late, it seems like the Yak's seem to have the reputation as the 3-D machine. ...

RE: Aeroworks 260 Extra 50cc Rudder to Pitch Coupling

I have no problems getting out of inverted or upright spins. That being said, it does take a turn or so to get things straightened out. What I''ve noticed is that in high alpha, the plane will...

RE: Aeroworks 260 Extra 50cc Rudder to Pitch Coupling

I slipped a couple of washers under the mounts to move the thrust up. I didn't degree the thrust angle relative to the centerline so I don't have numbers for anyone. I will say that the plane flies...

RE: Aeroworks 260 Extra 50cc Rudder to Pitch Coupling

Thanks Mark.

I think I'm pretty close on that CG. We'll see. I'm using a DA50 with Canister and a 23 x 8 Xoar wood prop. That combination seems to work pretty well. I'll dial in some...

Mixed in about 10 units of up with my rudder and it seems to have done the trick. I leave the mix on all the time. Now, when I make yaw corrections on an upline (so long as the...
