RE: Saito stack so close to the fuse.....

RE: 65"YAK-SP65M kit??

RE: Rudder Flutter Yak 65"

I made the changes we discussed and no more flutter was observed. A no-play reasonably strong servo on the rudder (>80 ozin) with direct coupling will do, I believe. The many comments on speed...

RE: Rudder Flutter Yak 65"

Spacey,

RE: Vibration and 4 strokes

Aviti,
