YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

Hey guys-

I know there are lots of threads one should read before building some airplanes, but sometimes, when your picking out an airplane, you want to go with what seems to be "working" for most people..

So, one thing I have noticed at some of the Electron flying sites, is that there will be a "Setup Thread" of a certain airplane.. No real discussion of the airplane, just a simple "post your setup" thread...

So, I was thinking, why not get one of these going on this GREAT airplane..

So, why don't we post our setup's?

I will start.. :)

When I purchased this plane one week ago, I asked Chris about the 180. He said that his next choice after the YS 1.10 would be the Saito 150. Seeing the 180 is 2 grams lighter than the 150 and produces more power i thought it only fitting to use this engine. He also mentioned to use the left stick (throttle in this case) appropriatley. To him I replied absolutley. This engine could give this plane a new meaning to the words over powering. I am suprised that more ppl aren't using this combo. anyhow I am looking forward to flying it soon. I will post flying resuls here or on the bid EF Yak 68 thread.

RE: YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

I'm thinking Saito 150 3" spiner
prop 16*8 apc
throttle HS 81/ elevators, rudder= 5645, ail=5625. Battery 2700 6v.

please any opinions

RE: YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

I have Finally decided....

I have a Saito 150GK in the box & Hitec 5945 digis that are going in this sled.

RE: YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

YS 110 w/ 17x4W APC

5945 on rudder

945's on ailerons (just what we had laying around)

645's on elevator (again, just what we had, would have gone digital if we had 'em)

RE: YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

Those of you running the 5645's - how happy are you with them still?

I have finally gotten around to getting this bird up in the air - alebit - more in the lines of Atlantae's setup.. :)

I am trying to decide on the servo's.. 5645's all around is what I was thinking.. Seems to be a popular choice... So how happy are all you guys running that?

RE: YOUR Extreme Flight 68" Yak setup?
 

My setup is this

Saito 1.50
Hitech 5645's on the ailerons
Hitech 5945's on elevator
Hitech 5945 on rudder
Hitech HS-81 on throttle
Duralite battery system (7.2V 1400 mAh regulated down to 6 volts)

The 5645's are good servos for the money however if I had it to do again I would run 5945's all the way around. And I plan to upgrade battery packs to a TBM 2400 mAh Li-ion pack for more flight time.
