Default Yak-3 Construction

Well after a long Month finally we got some good weather!

Out I went and got the Heavy Aircraft inspector to check out the YAK3.........

Wel all checked out OK ............. exept ........ the CG!!

No I did not do the calculations wrong ,,,,,,,,,,, just measured at the wrong place!

So I ended up doing some fast TAXI's to the point were the wing would start lifting and then chop the throtle off.

Changed the prop to a 14x6 for the SAITO 120

got a digi shot of the YAK3 passing infront.

Next week looks like it will be the test flight! (Weather permiting).

Will post pics!

Regards

Erick
