Default RE: NEW Composite YAK 55 2.12m DA 50

Sorry, the time difference is good sometimes!

My model under construction.
I'm using the JR 8411 in the tails for elevators, JR 8911 on Ailerons and JR 8715 on rudder with a JR 8231 on throttle. Powerbox Gemini switch with 2 x 1320 or 2100 2s Li-Pos (depends on C of G) DSM 9x (9303 for you guys) with a DA 50 and Zimmermann exhaust set, plus Biela 22 x 10 prop...

So, the wings and tails are a breeze, one long evening and they are done. I used JR 1.5" ali arms with ball links rather than clevis on the doubled arm.

Fuselage I'm working on, the fuselage has a tunnel moulded in but will take a slimline Pitts muffer if you like.
The tunnel forms a vertical front plate that you sandwich 1/8th ply either side of to make the bulkhead-this allows motor flexibility. Set up is close to zero/zero to allow you to shim to suit.
I'm working on that now as my early kit has no wood parts for that.
