Off work a little early today so I thought I would put the free time to good use. The tail gear swap on the Big Yak was really pretty easy even though I had to punch out the factory blind nuts and install new ones in a different location. I like the fact I will gain about an inch extra clearance on the tail with the J and J tailwheel assembly. The White Rose is nice, but I think it is just a tad small for the Behemoth Yak. So as mentioned, it will go on the Sukhoi. More appropriately fitting I think.

After consulting a few "Full Scale" Edge photos, I have decided to use the G-Force pilot in the new Pilot Edge.

After a little trimming of the rear canopy ring, and then a little by little trimming of the pilot...I got him to fit. And quite nicely too. Heck he even looks like the right size compared to the full scale. I also chose to "not" use the supplied sunglasses. To me, they just looked a little "cheesy".

I think I can live with it. Hate to see a 167 dollar pilot sit around with no ride to fly. LOL
