RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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.

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

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.

RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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

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.

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 :D

RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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.

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

Thanks

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.

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

RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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

RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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.

RE: E Sledge, Extra E330 & E Yak 54 info & pics
 

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.
