Default RE: Comp ARF Valiant

Hey Thanks Brett!
I can always tell when your happy during the flight you dance a little LOL
we had a good weekend of flying there was nothing a the field you didn`t fly Even an old Patriot 3d wth retracts ,,


Dick I`m going to look and see if I have any tubing/plumbing install pic`s if not I`ll take some for you
and post it here.

The YS Mount has it`s strong points a sweet tone, and nice idle However ,,without a rail set up it`s hard to get it installed.
Oxai has a backplate machined out of Aluminum that adapts for a firewall mount so you can use the YS mount ,,this is what I use in my Bipe
But I`m not sure you could get one in a time. it is possible to do however.

I know Arch has been usng the LR85 for some time and loves it he turned me on to it M. Hyde made me 6 mounts I tested them all one at a time on the Valiant
they all worked ok But the sweet one was the LR85. so thats the one to use.

The canopy attachment is a little difficult to keep from rattling I`ve tried different system on all three I`ve built the canopy`s are large and light so the best thing to do is run a little clear RTV on the base of the fuse , for the chin and the canopy to help with noise

The chin cowling quick dissconnect setup in a Nishioka system from Japan ,,But in the manual I show how to make and install this out of wood ( if it ever gets uploaded I could possibly send pictures to you with the text if you need it it`s a little tricky to do but worth it in the end. ,,,no screw drivers

Best of luck I`m glad your excited! good to have you back!
