    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    I don't have fuse comparison weights, but might be able to work that out because my friend is just starting a Sukhoi. But, for now let's say the AW fuse weighs a pound more, because it does feel heavier (there appears to be more wood in there). That's 16oz, then 5oz more for the wings... that's...

    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    The plane really looks great, amazing actually. I'm in love with it. haha Very cool looking plane, for sure. I'm always thinking about weight, though. I just finished a Hangar 9 Sukhoi (maybe the best plane I've ever flown) and that plane is light and flies light. So, I started making some...

    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    I made an unboxing video, well a three parter, actually: youtu.be/u6GvyTKNA8g youtu.be/8GCulv8bW2A youtu.be/I8e_MOTWkxg And, a DA 170 unboxing video, too: youtube.com/watch?v=7G735fh6sL8

    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    This showed up at my place Monday, and I'm dying to fly it! It is pretty sexy, I must say. I mean it really looks good. Even better in person than in the photos on AW websites, and the photos looked great to me:

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    TFPU (thanks for posting up) Love this thread, brings back great old memories. I have some torque roll videos with it from 2001, pretty embarrassing to watch. haha The H9 Cap was my first real plane and my first DA engine. I loved it, and it occurs to me lately that H9 has been making great...

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Problem solved... I had made up extensions for the plane direct solder with Dean's 1003 ends out of Hitec Heavy Duty bulk wire. It's only 24 gage and the three wires are flat. Once in the plane it glitched all the time... directly through a 7008sb, directly through a 6014hs, and with both...

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Hi Scott! The R7008SB has been rock solid on the bench... but I was paranoid so I got an R6014HS. Well? I unplugged the R7008SB, I linked the R6014HS to my 14SG and also set the 6014 to HS. I plugged it into the plane and the sticks didn't move the servos. I turned the RX switch off and on and...

    Thanks, Dan! I'm planning on one RX. Thinking maybe end of the hatch, just inside the turtledeck for the antennas.... I guess. haha Joe

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Hi Dan! Yeah, I hear ya'! And, there were guys that setup there planes with little thought going into it and they crashed for a variety of reasons and blamed some piece of radio equipment. I think about that as I'm reading guys online blaming current radio equipment for failures. But, this line...

    On the antennas... the manual says run them 90 degrees to each other and keep them 1/2" away from metal and CF... that's right 1/2" is all... and you'll be safe and sound. But, people online say the setup has to be just right. I hear line of sight at all times, but it seems to me there will...

    Futaba R7018SB Receiver

    Awesome! I'm very interested... wish it was out right now as I'm assembling a plane. Might, actually probably definitely will, swap out my power expander and RX for that RX and switch when it comes out. I think the threads around the NET that say you don't need power expanders without an RX and...

    Looks awesome! Does that have an electronic switch so that your switch isn't the bottle neck on the power? thanks, Joe (and, how you been, old timer? haha)
