Mike,
The 240 sounds better all the time, when you get to that stage I would be interested in photos of your engine installation and also the fuel tank set up, as I understand I would need to install two. What size tanks are you going for?

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
You guys with the Brillelli's-how did you secure your ignition modules? There are no brackets or anything to mount it to the motor box. I was thinking of attaching it with silicone, but I'm thinking I need some foam under it to protect it from vibration. What's the preferred method to use?
My EF Yak is almost done, I hope to put up a few pictures as soon as I get this motor thing worked out. It's my first gasser.
Thanks.

I noticed on the bigger Yak the guys were cutting slots in the firewall and using velcro with padding under it. I think Maudib did this you can PM him and ask. It looked real nice when done.

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
I promised photos, so here they are.
I used the "Maudib Mounting System" for my C & H ignition module. Other photos show the engine mounts, throttle servo position, fuel tank location and the tray I made to mount my receiver. I also made a tray to mount my battery under the turtle deck, but I'm going to wait and see how the CG comes out before I make that permanent.
It has 5625 servos for the elevators and ailerons, and a 5985 for the rudder. I'm probably going to use a 3004 for the throttle, just because I have a ton of them. I plan on running everything on 6V for the speed.
It's going to take me a while to figure out how to cut that cowl and not butcher it. I've been looking at all the photos of the B40GT's that have been in this thread and plan to use them as a reference.
This is a great thread and I appreciate all the shared information.

Looks good. Where did you get those standoffs, they look heavy duty?

The standoffs came from these guys:

They are a little on the heavy side, but with the extended length, I figured a little extra stability would be worth it.

One thing, having your ignition on the same side as muff might throw off lateral balance. What I do is put my rudder on the edge of a table and hold the spinner in my hand to see what wing drops and then adjust battery till its level. I do this when plane is fully built.

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
Your welcome Vince, I am letting mine sit and airbrushing another plane. Ran out of money trying to make it as light as possible.
So thats the 40cc? Battery can go to the other side of fuse, but if you really want to lighten it up, I would get those HUGE standoffs off of it and take a look a horizon ones for evo 45. Get shorter ones so the plug will reach. Just a thought. But you did already spend alot on those.

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
It's true... but if the plane doesn't have a long enough motor box to suit your specific engine... you gotta get it out there someway! 
It would be nice to have a floating engine box... something that has 2"-3" excess and a firewall that's not attached.
But the vast majority of builders don't want to have to cut the box (or maybe don't have the tools to do so) and designers/manufacturers don't want to place that step (VERY important for thrust angles and durability of the assembly) into the hands of petentially inexperienced bulders and therefore let mounts and standoffs make up the difference.
It's been somuch in the past... and guys will say how bad a plane flies of climbs, or needs elevatorup trim, etc... and it's the inaccuracy of the firewall installation that is the culprit.
Same thing with engines with long shafts... while I can't speaj from direct experience... I hear the Brison Revolution 52 is quiet a vibrator because of the long shaft out from the crankcase... the further centrifugal force from a surface... the more vibration is generated.
This is why you hear us constantly mentioning balancing props and spinners... as every little bit of unbalance you allow out there is magnified into the fuse and down to the tail and servos... engines provide more power as well as they are not fighting the centrifugal force in one direction.

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
I posted this on the other EF Yak thread as well, because I need an answer as quickly as possible:
OK guys, here's my dilemma. The Brillelli 40GT comes with this nice phenolic venturi for the carb. If I leave the venturi on, I have to cut a big hole in the side of the cowl to clear it.
Do you think I'll see a big performance drop off on the motor if I leave it off? I'd rather not have to cut the cowl if it doesn't make that much difference, but my gut tells me that I should leave it on and cut the cowl.
Thanks,
Vince

How close to the cowl will the carb be without the stack?
If adequate (1/2" or more I'd say)
The stack can be removed... but you will need shorter screws to put the carb on... OR you can remove the stack, dremel the cone off the base and then reattach the carb with the base still on.

RE: Extreme Flight RC Yak 54 - 74 inch!
I can't tell exactly how close it will be to the inside of the cowl without the stack, but I'd guess maybe 1/2" clearance or more.
My problem wasn't removing the stack, I'm OK with that. I wouldn't cut it just in case I wanted to reinstall it, I'd just get the shorter screws. I was just worried about what removing it would do to the performance of the motor. I'm thinking Scott put it on there to enhance the top end and gain some RPM's.

Short stack gains RPM's long stack gains tourqe . To a certain extent of course,the stock stack is for sure tuned to the bore and stroke of the engine to get good tourqe and HP figures.

Tee hee... well if ya wanna look like me you GOTTA shave your head... LOL But let's just be glad we can all share... I learned a GREAT tip from Josey... using twp pieces of masking tap above and below your hingepoint and cut the hole out of the tape... When everythig is essentially dry (or a little before) peel the two strips off for a aqueeky clean hinge job...
I gott get me a Tamboreen and play at the airports singing the Blaad of Josey Wales...
