Default RE: Extreme Flight 87" Yak 54 - Build & Fly

You don't need to sand the prop. The bare wood can soak up oils & stuff, & weaken the wood structure. Get a good balancer, I use the Dubro model, and spray lightly on the light side until perfectly balanced. Use any kind of clear polyurathane paint, or, Top Flight has a product called Lustrecoat, which is the one I use.

Tell me more about the canopy latch system.

Also, next question. I have never balanced a prop, so can someone give me a quick tutorial?

Do I sand the prop?

Thanks
