Default RE: Aeroworks Yak54 50cc build issues

Grelker,

once I'll locate amsoil, I'll try the same ratio as you. For now, I think I'll continue to run 32:1 mix on the non-synth oil I have.

I've noticed that at any point the wires touch the wood, the wire insulation is getting frayed so I redid all my wiring. Most of it is covered in that orange spiral plastic sleeve. Works very well. I took down the elevators and redid the insulation there as well. I then epoxied all the control horn screws and tailwheel screws into the wood. I omitted this step early on thinking the screws would hold but I like to be safe than sorry. I intend to keep this plane for a long while so I'm taking extra steps to make sure everything is working as the way it should be. I've got sick over the week so the maiden will have to wait until next week. Here in arizona, we have thunderstorms in august so hopefully I'll get a window of opportunity for flight between them. If anyone has any better ideas about insulating wires, etc. please let me know. Thanks.
