RE: Seagull Yak?
Yak saga cont'd ....
The weather was great and timing was good but, the we couldn't get the idle speed down low enough without it dieing. It would idle at 2200 to 2300 rpm but, would die when set below that. So, discretion being the better part of valor, Icancelled the first flight attempt.
I've decided to wait until my new adapter plate arrives Monday. I'm hoping it will eleminate what I believe to be an air leak and make the engine run and idle as it's supposed to. We'll see.
I had better luck with my Spacewalker II 120. The 26cc gas engine on it ran well enough to get two flights in. The first flight was OK but, very twitchy in pitch and inverted flight indicated she was tail heavy. So, Ilanded after about 5 min.. and removed approx. 2 oz. of the weight Iadded to get her to balance. The second flight was much better ....more stable and predictable in pitch and inverted flight required just the slightest touch of fwd stick. More about this bird on the appropriate thread.
