Got the plans back from the printers and they turned out awesome. I will have them at the Wigwam this Sunday or you can email me at [email protected] if interested. Here is the best part, the printing cost was less than I anticipated, so the full size plans will only be $8 in person and $10 if I have to ship them to you. These plans are full size, no more taping legal size paper together. The instructions are on the plans also. Right now I have 10 sets each of the Yak, Extra and E Sledge.

I got dibs on one set of Yak and one set of Extra plans! Money in hand tomorrow.

Ok...to bring this topic back up...JWilliams, would it be at all possible to mount my Hacker B20 12L +4:1 on this plane. Let me know!!!

Dan

PS...im going for 4 Hitec HS55s a GWS 6 channel receiver or an Electron. Radio...10X...Spped Control CC PHX 25

Thanks again man

Mavrick, I am not familiar with the Hacker motors. I saw one about a year ago so I cannot say they would mount easily, but with some time I am sure you could mount any motor to these planes. I got two planes going to the airbrush guy tomorrow, 1 extra in the 2002 TOC McConnville scheme and a yak with a personalized scheme. The Yak will sport the caricature below with some other stuff, and we all remember the 2002 McConnville scheme. JW

Thanks for the quick response...i cant wait til' i get some more money once again because I had to fix my radio up and soon enough I will have the money. Thanks for everything!!!

Dan

Hey Jeff I got the plans for all three and they look awesome. I will be getting some Depron and probably run a production of at least two of each when We get settled a little. Looking forward to it.

Brian, glad they showed up and in good condition. I am very pleased with the quality of the plans.
Jeff

That is my Yak that's getting the cartoon paint job. Can't wait to see it.

Jeff, I ordered the Sledge short kit from Morris today. That will work great for my project. I did not see the short kits listed on their website. Thanks for the heads up.

Eric

Hmm...my Yak is goign to be sick form Jeff..not telling the scheme, but how can I mount my Hacker B20 12L +4:1 on this plane..seems near impossible. I'm thinkng about a light piece of balsa and zip tying the motor to it:

Does this make any sense and it would be glued onto the side of the plane:The motor on either the bottom or left side of the wood piece to make sure it balances laterally

Mav-

See if you can find some pics of a Hicks Tribute motor mount. They use zip ties around the mounting stick, but one important element is a screw with a washer on the front end of the stick that protrudes just below the edge of it to keep the motor from sliding forward.

Karl

Glad you menytioned that I always wondered how to keep the motor form sliding away!!!

Thanks

Dan

What size are these, are they in the 12 oz range for the 2015 4500 or so??? Thanks Dan

THe planes I assume you are asking...Mr. Williams tol me that they should be aroudn 12-13 oz. if you build them corectly!!!

Well, off to school here!!! See ya

Dan

11 to 12 oz

Here is the finished product with the Yak cartoon. Flew it for the first time a few minutes ago. It is really too windy, but I could not wait any longer. Everyting seems to be working fine. Hope the wind dies down this afternoon.

Eric

The photo showing the side is too dark. I'll try to get a better one this afternoon.

Very cool! You'll really like how it flies once the wind dies down!

Yeah, any wind at all and these things get to be more of a handful than they are fun. But, in a calm wind you just could not have much more fun. Eric, be sure to show that lightning on the bottom. Jeff W.

Here is the bottom. Got to fly it some late this afternoon. Can already tell that a order for another one will be placed soon. Going to take it to work tomorrow and fly at lunch.
