Magic Hand 73" yak build thread
I just got a new magic hand yak and am very impressed with it. Below are some preliminary pictures along side a Extreme flight Yak 74". The magic hand has a very nice cowl with blind in fuse attach points. It is pre plumed with a fuel dot and also had aluminum anti rotation pins in the wings. The wings appear to be prehinged and glued (CA hinges all around). The horizontal stab is one piece. The canopy is top notch. Hardware is average. There were no instructions with mine and the wing tube is a porker but other than that the wood all appears good. You will see the airfoil is thinner than the EF yak on both the wings and the tail/rudder. I like the cowl MUCH better on the Magic Hand. It is stiffer and has a cowl ring for the blind mounts plus there is much more detail.
I will post some weights tomorrow.
Pricing for this quality is unreal, if it flies like it looks it will be a winner.
The set up will be as follows:
OS 1.60 with Slimline Pitts
4 5925 Hitecs on Ails and Eles
1 5985 on the rudder
1 225mg throttle
NOBS battery 6vt nicad either A or sub C (yet to decide)
I will probably change out some hardware as I go with dubro stuff.
target weight is 10-10.5 lbs
Enjoy the pics
