RE: H9/Carden Yak 54

Thanks, the eyes jiggle sometimes and with different engine speeds they focus sometimes. As the rpm changes they seem to change where they are looking sometimes. Since the photos, I also put a...

RE: Hanger9 Carden Yak DL50

I really like the plane. It is very forgiving with no real bad characteristics other than some wing rock in harrier. I tried moving the CG aft of the manufacturer's suggested limit which didn't...

RE: Hanger9 Carden Yak DL50

That's good to know. Thanks.

I've had to re-epoxy the engine box a few times. I finally put in some dowel corner cross braces and it seems to be holding up fine now. The log I keep shows about...

RE: Hanger9 Carden Yak DL50

Well, since I fly a lot of 3-D just off the ground I rarely fly over 10 minutes...which uses just about 1/2 a tank. I am using a DA50R engine. The longest flight I've made so far has been about 14...

RE: H9/Carden Yak 54

Saturday was a rare calm day in KS so I fiddled with shifting the C.G. aft of the reccommended aft c.g. I started on the aft c.g. limit then added 1/2 oz to the tailwheel. The wing rock in harrier...

RE: H9/Carden Yak 54

I assembled mine just as the instructions said and have not had any problems after 60+ flights. I suspect the reasons for not using the cone washer are:

RE: Extra 260 27% Hangar 9er

Nice! Good Luck!

Actually, you can probably go to your local hardware store or autoparts store and purchace a tool called "EZ-out." Make sure you get a small enough one! You might want to...

Ok, a couple more. Take a close look at the pilot and you will see it is "Mr. Googles." I glued some of those Googly eyes on it and use some black pipe cleaner to make eyebrows that give him a...

RE: H9/Carden Yak 54

RE: H9/Carden Yak 54

No, I haven't crashed mine yet, so I am not exactly sure how the control horns are anchored.

However, on my other Extra 260 the control horns are epoxied in place into hardwood.

Thanks Deathbunny,

I remember the discussions we had. My only reservations are:

Can I order some directly, or do I need to buy a Dewalt battery pack and wire...

I am planning on replacing my current batteries w/ Lipos or Li-ions in to reduce weight. Will a receiver lipo rated at 7.4 V 2300 mAh and 1 C discharge rate be strong enough to...
