Sweet Propwashed!!!

Cheers

Thanks, Haven't measured the db's but it is quieter than the 27x10 woody Has more of a turbo sound

If you get teh chande to measure it I would appreciated it. I am chasing 94db on a DA100 at 3m. So far I have got 95.5db with a 25x12 3blade.

Tripp.....Very nice!!! I Like the color choice, and it`s amazing what you can do with vinyl...
Must have been taken on one of those rare northwestern sunny days.

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Just finished it last night. Took photo's today

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Thank the lord we don't have to worry about noise here in North Carolina,,

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Goldsboro, I have family there. Eddie Thompson ring a bell?

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Wow, 9 lbs more than mine, I can't even grasp it. I couldn't do that even on a bad day.

Good luck!

Happy flying! Carden is waiting for you!!!

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

But then again, my friends 33lbs carden extra flies great, but his 25lbs Comp-Arf Yak couldn't do what my 21lbs Comp-Arf Yak could.

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Actually I just re-wieghed it on a better scale. Its 28lbs still heavier than most Comp Arfs but it flies awsome. So I'm not worried about it much more. I still cant believe yours is at 21lbs RTF. That's amazing. Is that with the gear?:D

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

:D Yes, that is with the gear!

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Awesome looking plane man, great job!

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

That looks good, what does the bottom look like?

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Hey man, 28lb. is not bad considering...it will still fly light, dont worry about the frickin weight...just fly, look good, and have fun...after all that's what this is about..

Final Weight ???? Who Gives a F..K... :)

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Only those who can tell the difference

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

Nice job !!
What is the PPG flex clear?

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

It's an additive mixed into the clear 1:10 Prevents cracking on flexible surfaces. Same stuff used on automotive bumpers and plastic body parts that require paint.

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

This is all I have right now of the bottom

RE: Comp Arf Yak Photo's
 

That looks good too. So did you special order it all white or did you paint over the red?
