Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

dribar

70cc twin V2
Small steps...
My [correct] arms showed up in the mail so I got the airleron's put together last night. On my DX-8 I pushed the travel to 130% each way -- wow! I'll measure the angles later when it is all put together, but I was amazed at the travel, and the speed of the travel. Amazing. Can't wait to get her in the air.

Also got a package from FromeCo with my DC-UP and the wrong batteries. I'm a firm believer in this little booster plus it looks cool :)

For some reason I'm having a lot of vendor problems lately -- kind'of down on the whole thing but we'll see. The DA-60 finally shipped yesterday after weeks of waiting. Batteries were a two week wait and then showed up wrong. All from vendors I've come to trust over the years. They must all be having bad days...

small steps.

Peace.
 
The only word of caution is have for the 7956SHR is don't do rudder touches with it. I did one with my Edge and the arm sheered! It is very thin actually where it attaches to the spline. This in the end is a 7954 with a fancy arm arrangement. Hitec replaced it, but it is not impervious.

I just ordered a bunch of servo tray hardware for my big 110 Yak as one BLS-157 is not enough, even with a tray arrangement to reduce the load on the spline.

You may want to put the lock nut on those Secraft cable tensioners.

They do serve the purpose of stoping the red bit unscrewing once you have the vibration from the engine running through the airframe.
