Default RE: YAK 54 TOC1


ORIGINAL: 69 roadrunner

I picked up this plane used it was built but never flown then they pulled all elect. and motor off. The plane is set up for da50 when I put my da on the plane the motor sticks out like 1.5 in. are you guys setting this thing up that way our did the guy who built. this one screw up. thanks the runner
That's probably not a bad thing for two reasons. One reason is these tend to be tail heavy with a DA50 on it so having the engine forward a bit helps that. Secondly, the cowl is so large on these that an inch or more clearance between it and the prop is supposed to help the efficiency of the prop.
