Drumbum. Thank you for that weight. We can't see the bottom of the plane. Are you pushing up and taking weight off?!!?!? I'm wondering how the 110 is gonna be in mine. Does yours seem to hover ok?
Raideron. I think you'll be impressed with the quality of the ARF. I am. I think every ARF I see seems to be better. Of course I wouldn't even know how to check the incidence. Maybe all my planes are off. But I don't seem to see the trimming problems Durmbum is refering to. I've got all the hinges done on my plane. All Dubro pinned. I'm now working on the servos and engine. That is when I'm building and not flying the Yak or not doing family matters. Seems like I'm crawling through it. But I will get it. 9lbs??? Wish it was 8. But still lighter than the Funtanas.
Thanks,
Barry
no i wasnt pushing up[sm=lol.gif] i was holding the camera... mine has all stock hardware and nothing removed (like PANTS).. if you go lighter wheels, 86 the pants,cut tha underside of the canopy open,Those horn screws are pretty heavy you could go with lighter horns.you allready have lighter tailwheel assy,i think you could slip it under 8 pretty easy. i dont have the muffler on the YS im running a header and about 6 in of flex pipe. im also runing 6v w/KOKAM 1500 LiPos.
mine hovers fine. it dosent rocket out but it is enough to save it and pull out.it gains speed and it goes up after the hover, just not quite as fast as my UCD did at 8lbs 6 oz dry. If im too fat on the needle i can tell.. but also im running a 17x4W which i said before is a full LB of thrust less than the 16x6 on static results
