Very cool chuck.... whatcha using for power?

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Looks Good - Chuck! I have the same question as Paul, & are you using depron or zepron?
Later!
Kevin :D

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Thise one is tailspnr's..I think he's going with the Himax 2015 4100. But if it was mine I'd use the same motor :D
And it's Depron..

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Cool plane Chuck! What scheme are ya' gonna paint on it?

Woody

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Hey Woody! Long time.. [8D]

Not sure..it's top secret (not my plane..I just build 'em!) but I'm sure tailspnr will post some pics when he gets it. Stay tuned!

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

uhh ohhh !!! I can only imagine...:D

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Ooooooh......my naked plane. I cant wait to see that top secret scheme either. You have my okay to post the pics before it gets to me. You know Im as anxious as anyone about my new toy.

Ive got all my E stuff just laying on the work bench waiting to jump on that Yak. Man I feel like a kid on Christmas eve.............:D:D:D

Chuck...you are the man!!!!

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

LOOK at the size of dim dare AILERONS!!!!

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Them ain't your daddy's ailerons! :D If you look closely in the second pic, you can see the Trident with modified ailerons under the Yak. I liked the way the Trident flew so much better with dem dare bigguns, I made the Yak ailerons the same size (basically..) And the size of what was left of the Trident wing after I cut 1 1/2" off the hinge line is almost identical to the Yak wing. So they have a very similar wing/aileron ratio. Ought to be right perky :)

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Oh man...the suspense is killing me. I've been running my motor and this thing is gonna be awsome.

Yeah, Ive got a Himax 2015-4100, GWS w/ D gearing and 1260 prop going on the plane. Also got the Berg5, picco bb's, phoenix 25 and E-Tec 1200 3S lipo's. And just to think......two weeks ago I was asking "so....what are lipo's anyway?"

I think I may have found us Louisville guys an indoor facility to fly in as well. This place may be available to us several times a week too. Bye bye winter blues:D:D:D

Hopefully we will have a chance to check out this place next week. If its big enough and available on the weekends we could possibly have a winter indoor Pro-Bro!!!!

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Is that an I-beam spar? Will that stop the twisting? Looking for tips before I build a new one.

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Yep..the I beam is a lot more rigid than the tube, but not as crash resistant. A LOT more work than the tube...but it's the stiffest in the air. I guess everything is a trade off [8D]

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

I did mine over the weekend a couple hours each night a BAM I-BEAMS they sure are stiff err rigid ohh you guys know what I mean.
Looks like I am going to have wait for the motor, They took the order but failed to mention they shipped the last one before my name came up. Oh well I've waited this long.. B Bill

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Almost done but I have give the camera back so I took a few pic's...

B Bill

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Hey Bill! That thing turned out GREAT!!

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

I had to cut one out also...

Should be done soon.
Here it is so far.

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Hey Wayne, what did you use to paint/color your plane with? That thing looks awsome man.

What plans are those by the way?

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Sharpies....

Tim Harts plans from Foamy Factory.

The yellow got a little screwed up on one side of the fuse. Seems as though Sharpies and Pro-Bond dont mix.

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

That's what yours would look like, Spnr!! :D If, you know, you had one.....:)

I have my rhythm down now, whupped out 4 today!! (or will have them whupped by bedtime).

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Man Chuck your being kind of hard on ole spnr ;)

B Bill

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Don't feel sorry for ol' Spnr...He'll be happy as a pig in the mud one of these days! What's that saying..everything worth having is worth waiting for?? Well, it don't have nothing in there about trash talk in the meantime :D

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Yep your right, Once he gets that Starfish tribute he will be a happy Bro!!

B Bill

RE: Yak Attack!!
 

Yeah Chuck.....quit being hard on 'ol Spnr man. Trust me....Im hard enough on myself. I went through 3 spur gears today. I bet if we held a full day indoor pro-bro somewhere it would cause GWS' stock prices to go up by $10 per share.

So you mean to tell me that my plane will like that huh? I tell you Wayne, thats a really sweet looking plane.

Im gonna have to save my OS painted Yak for very special occasions.......real special occasions. My E-Sledge only has 2 real days of flying on it and its looking pretty rough. But d@*! flying these planes are fun. Got to be the best TR practice you could ask for.

Hey did I mention.....that Yak looks good!
