RE: Extreme Flight 87" Yak 54 - Build & Fly
Fuel dots...I like the 3W.
Ebb and flo of models....Wayne hit the nail on the head...everyone will be singing a different tune when Chris's container show's up at port.
Tx and Rxer should be checked by the factory...especially after you have changed crystals.
I like plugging the Li-ions DIRECTLY to the Reg, and using the Reg shutdown feature to shut it off. NO POWER though a SW...not even the beloved JR charge sw. Sorry , Wayne.
Now, I have one question that I don't know has been addressed here. I have refrained posting here , because I did not want to add to the sprawl of this thread, when I was NOT buildng or Flying an EF Yak. But I am getting close. So here goes....
While learning the DA ropes on my REJECT, something struck me as I was looking at that hole in the firewall. The Carb sucks air from the fuse , right?? What about the the little bits of crap that can get into your plane....can they be sucked into the carb and do a nasty on the engine??
I just for the heck of it, turned my plane upside down with the help of friend and shook it ...HARD. And a lot of dust and little particulate came out......destined for the carb , right? Or, not???
Does ANYONE run a filter or a screen on their carbs for this reason...and has anyone had the same thoughts??? Or do I ust have a dirty plane, and all of you have immaculate clean one?? (heading off the jokes).
