Hi Andrew,just curious if you have seen and flown the 32% Yak QQ is putting out now?And if so,can you comment,Wayne Ulery had nothing but good to say about it.What do you think?Thanks,Joe

Joe,

I have flown the 32% yak of quiques and must say it is a great flying airplane. I got the chance to fly it in Dayton this year. It 3ds great and flys precision just as well. I feel quique is one of the best designers around today that is why I am going to fly his 37% this year in competition. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks Andrew,I have got on the list for this plane...primarily for the 3D side of it,i am going to fly my 40% Carden Extra as primary in competion and this plane for back up and freestyle.....saw your Yak at Toledo..looks SHHWWEEEET !!!

RE: QQ Yak
 

Hello, since you have flown the 32%, do you think a single 5955 would be enough power on the rudder @ 6V?

Thanks,
Chris Sells

RE: QQ Yak
 

Chris,

I think a single would fly it but not have the authority that the airplane is intended to have. My 40% has 4 8611's and the rudder is crazy. If anything I would go with 2 5955's or 1 5735.

RE: QQ Yak
 

OK, thanks

Chris

RE: QQ Yak
 

I'm kinda confused:D, you said 2 5955's which have 333 oz in, or 1 5735 which have about 264 oz in. could you please explain why you would use 1 5735 or 2 5955?

Thanks,

RE: QQ Yak
 

Chris,

The reason I said to use 1 5735 as it has much bigger gears in it. You will put a lot of stress on a standard size servo and the gears will give out very easy. With a bigger servo like the 5735 you have more area to spread the load. It is the same reason many use 4 5945's and only 2 5735's for the rudder of a 40% airplane. I hope this made sense. If you have anything else please let me know.

RE: QQ Yak
 

I see:D! that does make sence. So it isnt just torque, but gear strength that i need to think about.

Thanks,

RE: QQ Yak
 

Exactly.

Andrew

RE: QQ Yak
 

I am just full of questions about this thing:D. I am excited to get it! So are the ailerons stiff enough to use one 8611 on the inboard?

Thanks,

RE: QQ Yak
 

Chris,

I do not feel that 1 would be enough. The ailerons are cut out with bays and you will have to much flexing. Also with only 1 servo it will be more load and you will gain more servo slop which could cause fludder.

Has Anyone Ever Flew The QQ 72" Yak 54 From Aero-Works? If So How Does It Fly And What Engine Are You Using. I Am Thinking Of Gettin One To Work On 3D And Compete In IMAC With It.
Thanks.

RE: QQ Yak
 

I have a 72" yak and I absolutely love it. It is a great plane for imac and 3d. The 3d of the airplane will be a little different to get used to as the airplane is quick. I really like the way it flys though. If you have any more questions please let me know.

RE: QQ Yak
 

Andrew, if you have a DA in your 32%, do you know what type of headers I would need to get for cannister mufflers, and what cannisters are best?

Thanks,

RE: QQ Yak
 

Chris,

I do have a DA in my plane. I actually have the airplane and it is done. Should fly on Friday. I have the 50 drop flex headers from da along with the MTW long cannisters. I will try and get some pictures tonight of the airplane and cans.

Andrew

RE: QQ Yak
 

Thanks alot, I think I will order those then. Also, what length of standoffs did you have to use?

Thank You,
Chris Sells

RE: QQ Yak
 

Chris,

We used 2 of the 1/2 inch SWB ones that come with his mounts. Dave had a couple extras at home and he used them. I did not get a chance to get pictures but will tomorrow.

Andrew

RE: QQ Yak
 

OK so 1 inch then, if i understand correctly. this has been alot of help.

thanks

RE: QQ Yak
 

OK Andrew,i heard you flew the 32% Yak..and you were impressed with it....how about the skinny on the products you used to complete the plane..also anything you would change if you built another one?

RE: QQ Yak
 

I have infact flown the airplane and completely fell in love with it. I think it is the best flying airplane I have ever flown. I actually bought the dubro package from Wayne and Quique and finished it off with that which uses the Dubro control horns, dubro wheels, I then used hanger 9 titanuim turnbuckles, hanger 9 ball links. The servos were all 8611's (8 of them) all around with 4 matchboxs, Da100 mtw cans 50mm drop flex headers, 1 fromeco 4800mah driving the servos and a fromeco 2400mah on ignition all using there adjustable regulators. If you guys have any more questions please feel free to shoot away.
