RE: Build Thread: New QQ-Yak 54 101

Does anybody know what to do with the tailwheel assy that come with a rod with eyelet attached to the pivoting tailwheel, a 2.5 inch spring and wood screw? The manual is silent on this.

RE: Build Thread: New QQ-Yak 54 101

I am planning on using Futaba 9156 servos for the elevators. These provide 344 oz in on 6V. Any thoughts on whether or not these will provide enough torque?

RE: GP Patty Wagstaff - Building & Flying

RE: Build Thread: New QQ-Yak 54 101

JC,

Google "peter goldsmith tuning guide" and you should find a guide written by a TOC pilot that explains it all.

RE: Build Thread: New QQ-Yak 54 101

The manual is so well done and the ARF of such good quality I have no questions on the build. But how does she fly? What mixes have you implemented?

RE: GP Patty Wagstaff - Building & Flying

I would like to point out that quoting Troy Built Models, "I have never increased servo torque and not seen an improvement in performance.". 340 oz. in. crazy overkill??? I don't think so but I...

I replaced the aileron HS5625 (133 oz in.) digitals with some Futaba 9156 (340 oz. in.) digitals last weekend. Made a huge difference even though my throws are very low. The airplane responds much...

RE: GP Patty Wagstaff - Building & Flying

Castor,

I suggest you fly it as is and make your own determination about what you need to do. It may fly well enough for you. For me it wouldn't be close to having enough power. I don't do 3D...

Castor,

Either your engine is starting up and running CW or your prop is for a pusher type engine.

RE: RC Guys Super Decathlon coming

Could you elaborate on the "not for beginner"? Does that mean it's a lot of power or do you mean it is it marginal power? The Saito 1.80 is rated at 2.8 hp.
