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

Strip the coating off the first 3/4" or so. Make the bends in the wire as suggested, then dip the end of the cable in flus and apply a small amount of solder this will keep it from slipping coming back through the connector.

With that said, I changed mine out for DuBro...

The tip above was from the QQ 102" Yak manual....


ORIGINAL: 747drvr

I almost test flew mine today but was scuttled by the rudder cable pulling out of the stock cable fitting . I was sure that the other guys who had it happen just didn't do it right but it happened to me even though I was very careful . Anyone have any tips on how to do it right . I want to try again tomorrow .
BTW , the DA 50 started on the second flip after choking . Sweet engine . I was turning an MSC [rop at 6300 rpm but think that's loading the engine down a bit . I'll be seeing Mike tomorrow and will get the 22-8.
