    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Yeehaww!!!! She flies :brian-banana: She flies totally awesome too! Extremely light, very crisp, and totally outrageously overpowered with the mighty ZDZ180 on the nose. I got 2 flights in and set the needles as per Joe Mitchell's recommendation, she REALLY woke up after that. I was blown...

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    That's what I did, I used the slip on arms that were supplied with the airplane. Got my throttle servo in and setup. There's a couple of things that I want to change to try and get better movement out of the servo as right now I had to dial the high end down to 30% to keep the servo from...

    I sure do miss this airplane, it was very fun while it lasted, and was my introduction to Giant Scale. The original EF Yak 54 88".

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Well here we are after what has been the most roller coaster-like week of the entire year. Not much has been done to the airplane since my last update, but I did get the choke servo in and functioning. This is just before I glued it in place, I am trying to get the throttle setup but I will...

    Man, crazy start to the work week. A constant non-stop busy day, made even more difficult to hear about one of my best buds passing away in a car accident. :( It's gonna be one of them weeks :rolleyes:

    Worked on the Aerobeez Extra for a bit before changing gears and trying to get a new engine into my old XTM Mammoth. Pretty excited to get this thing going again :)

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Got the Tygon in and put my servo boxes together tonight, will be doing more work tomorrow. Didn't get to doing the rudder linkages just yet, need to get batteries soldered up first and I didn't feel like breaking out the iron.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Yeah I don't think heat will help it, they are usually made from a heat activated type of thermoplastic and will shrink with heat (which is why it is warped).

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    The inlet on the ZDZ180 is 1/4", not the 1/8" we're used to, so the tubing has to be expanded which this tubing does not do well at all, even when heated to the point of nearly melting- it was advised to me by @Terryscustom to not use it between the clunk/tank and carb. I'll be picking up some...

    It's the plastic itself, I can push the whole canopy down and get it to bolt to the frame flush but I have a bad feeling that I'll start to wear things out in short order if I continue to do that.

    Aerobeez 45% Extra 300 assembly

    Its just cheep stuff, not good quality like real genuine Tygon. Very difficult to get it to slide onto any of the fittings without it putting up a huge fight. I have also been told it's too thin walled for feeding the engine.
