Is there enough room to get a YS 110 in the Widebody 60? With a Hyde mount?
thanks

Yes

thanks Tommy

Tom,
If you haven't flown one yet they fly great. I've got one I need to finish that I
originally planned on putting a YS 1.10 with a Hyde mount in but the 1.10 is now
going in my 2nd Excelleron so it looks like the Widebody will get a MVVS .91 also
with a Hyde mount (same bolt spacing as the YS). You're going to like it.

I have a 110 in mine and it fits in ok, but I'm using a more standard mount. I glued blocks infront of the bulkhead for the cowl to screw into, that gave me a little extra space to put it in. Its a very good combo though, very powerful motor. Mine came in slightly above 7.5 pounds and could be built lighter.

that sounds great, will start on one soon

rwlewis had a wb60 w/ the YS110 and hyde mount...sport muffler just outside the cowl....

man, I miss that plane....and it wasn't even mine!

I miss mine too! It was the best flying 60-90 sized pattern plane I have ever flown, in my book it had no equal. I don't know about the infinity, leo or excelleron, but the WB 60 was hands down the closest thing I've ever flown to a 2 meter plane without being a 2 meter plane!

Stupid power line. May she rest in pieces...

yep yep

Mine has 25 flights and I can't imagine flight without it. Mine is 7.1 lbs with a 91 FX and it is a real fighting machine. When you find yourself thinking about ordering another one just in case, then you must like it.

What size spinner and MK bellcrank does it take?

tph1,

I'm almost finished with a WB 40. I used the small MKD bellcrank. Having seen the WB 60, I would guess the larger one for it. I think there are only 2 sizes.

The MKDs are heavy and expensive. Does anyone know of a better company or a place that has them at decent prices?

I fitted the smaller Mk driver and it just about fit so the bigger one would be better. I didn't get enough throw though for 3D flying so I used two mini servos in the tail instead.

How much torque did the mini's have Robert? What size spinner did you use?
thanks

I'm just got my kit to the covering stage but the spinner I used is 2 1/4 inch and it's a perfect fit with the cowl

I'm using 3102's on each elev. So far they are holding up fine but I have yet to really push them. Jr 3421's (I think thats their number) would also be good choices.

OK thanks, what size spinner did you use, 2.25"?
thanks

I don't have a spinner but I think its 2.5

OK thanks

Nope 2.25 like all the others said. Sorry bout that. [:@]

Robert,

What limited your MKD bellcrank throws? From the installation (and not hooked up yet) it appears that I can get more than 45 degrees up and down. Mine is about 1/3 the fuselage distance from the tail.

Does the 60 size take the bigger belcrank?

Yes the 60 size takes the large size bellcrank. It fits like a glove , it will be slightly forward of the stab LE a couple of inches. Works like a charm.

Cool, I'll order one today, I have to call Central anyway.

Robert, What mount did you use? Is it a "Hyde" type?
Tom
