    Latest Plane

    Just finished my latest project a Hanger 9 Carden Edition Yak-54. I pulled the engine out of my TOC Yak, which I was going to recover this winter, bought new Savox 1230 servos.

    Hey guys, checked my cylinder head temp yesterday and it read 200F, is that way out of line with what it should be. The DLE-61 runs great and never had a problem cranking or while in flight. Thought I had baffled the front and opened all the exit hole in the same way that Tom and Terry had done...

    Su-26M Knife Edge

    Is anyone else having a real bad coupling problem when you do a knife edge with the PAU Su-26m. Mine pulls real bad to the landing gear.

    Terry I need help

    Terry, I need some info on your Su-26m. You put a DLE-61 in yours also, what size standoffs did you use. I am at the point of trying to mount the engine, just don't know how far from the firewall did you put the prop. That info would help me a lot.---Smitty

    Wire tensioners

    Does anyone other than Seacraft make wire tensioners for the pull-pull on the rudder. I like the Seacraft but the ones I looked at have mm bolts that go into the servo arm. I am getting all 4-40 ball link with my kit, can you just change out the end pieces.---Smitty

    Radial Engine decal

    Guess old age is getting to me. Someone posted a picture of a radial engine decal they put in a Su-26m. I thought it was Evil Devil, Sweet Pea or Chicken Balls, but I can't find it anywhere. Please help me out.--Smitty

    Savox servos

    Thinking of putting Savox seros in my Su-26. I have been using HiTech for many years without a problem. I can get the 500 in. oz. Savox from Richard at WrongWay RC until Thanksgiving for around 65.00 a piece. Anyone have any issues with these servos.---Smitty
