    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    All that worrying for naught, they really are just one big puzzle, except the puzzle pieces are pretty obvious as to where they go :banana-dance::way_to_go:

    talking about witch feul you use for your engine

    I run 91 octane from either a Mobile or Chevron station, if there is a Shell nearby then I will go there. We pretty much only have ethanol fuels here, there's no way to avoid them, so instead I go to a high quality gas station and get their 91 octane.

    Favorite connectors

    BTW the APP on my DA70 ignition is so loose that I needed a zip tie to keep it together. I didn't change the connector there because I didn't see a need.

    Discussion electric for pilot 42% edge 540

    There are plenty of electric systems out there that will fly a 40% airplane, but the question is do you really want to spend that kind of money on a motor, speed control, batteries (you would need at least 4 minimum to provide the power and capacity), a powerful enough charger to charge all 4 of...

    Favorite connectors

    They are primarily used in ham radio applications from what I can tell, which the connectors are perfect for. I personally can't stand them, I tried them, the crimp broke every single time even using the pricey crimper they recommend. I stick to Deans Ultra connectors on mostly everything (11...

    Extreme Flight 100"/105" Slick 580 EXP!!!

    The airplane is still in development, the only person we know that has one (or two rather) is @JaseTheAce since he's been directly involved with testing and development with the airplane. I think he said sometime early next year is when they want to try to have it out on the market but there's...

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

    Tell you what, after installing a new tie rod, drag link, tie rod ends, front axle shafts, lower door hinge pin on the drivers door, drivers door latch, getting an alignment, an oil change, new radiator shroud, new coolant overflow bottle, and recharging the AC with straight R134a to top it all...

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

    Past several nights have been occupied with fixing things here and there on the Jeep, none of which have been straightforward :omg: Wish I could be working on airplanes but I got nothing that needs workin on. The good news is the Jeep is getting newer one part at a time :laughing:

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    We can't forget the obligatory flight video!! Wind conditions were kind of odd this weekend. Wind would blow left to right and then the next minute it'd be blowing right to left. There were a couple of times where there were some vortexes rolling down the runway that made it a bit hairy :oblong:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Well at first I thought it would be just another foamy, I've flown hundreds of foam airplanes. But then I actually flew it and was shocked at just how much fun it actually was, boy was I wrong! It feels just like a built up 48" airplane, flies very locked in, GOBS of fun to get right onto the...

    New Aerobeez 48" Mini Banshee!!

    I have some pro tips for you guys to help get the best performance out of your airplane. Heat is the #1 enemy of all electronics and after some aggressive flying I discovered my ESC getting hot enough to cause the thermal cut to kick in. I decided the best thing to do would be to get some...

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

    Well.... :dancing-poop: Went out to finish up the Yak today and discovered the canopy had warped so badly last night when it was drying that it doesn't fit the Yak anymore :(:omg: Tried to gently massage it back into place and unwarp it but the new canopy glass broke :face-palm: I've decided...
