Hey Rob,
Did you see that video @Hinckley Bill did of his MONSTER Pitts with the Red headed 4 banger in it? Seeing that, I know your BIG Yak will fly AWESOME with that motor in it.

I didn't... I will have to look on the tube for it. I am pretty sure the Yak is going to be amazing. Just getting so excited. Unfortunately I ran into an issue this evening. Well, two issues. First, Throttle servo is going to be a nightmare to install. No where to put it. I may have to end up using a Nyrod or something. Ugh... Second issue...I attempted to test fit the canisters. NOPE... not gonna happen. Drop on the headers is too much. I could get headers with less drop....I think, but if I do that, that would cause an interference with the throttle linkages. So right now, I am "spent". Not sure how I am going to address these issues. So, shower and night night time.

Actually I 'acquired' this awesome plane with a Valach 210 installed in place of the 3W220 originally installed by its builder, Trevor Brum ...
Here are the videos of the plane when the 3W220 quad was installed for power.... enjoy....
And here are two videos with the Valach 210 installed

That's completely full on awesome Bill. Thanks for sharing the vid's. I sure hope the 212 sounds close to that 220. Funny thing here. My buddy out here bought a 210 Valach. He put it on his big 47% Pilot Decathlon. We fired it up last weekend. Holy moly....what a sound! And the idle. That plane will definitely not be shy for ponies. Really hoping we can maiden it next weekend. Should be an awesome Tug plane. (He don't know this yet, but when he hands the radio to me....??? I'm gonna...HUCK it. Lol)

Know what? I drool every time I put my hands all over this red headed girl. Just aching to see how she moves.

Can't really do too much more on the Yakster this weekend. Waiting on hardware for the throttle servo and not sure yet what I'm going to do about exhaust. Thought I had the exhaust situation covered, but not so much. Oh well, weather here sucks anyway. So I guess I'll just have another delay in finishing this plane.
I had some cool cf graphic vinyl flames and thought I'd see how they look. Not sure yet if I'll leave them. What do all you out there think? Leave them or trash them?
I'm thinking I may have a spankin' green bordered silver 3w 212 logo made and put it right in the middle of the cowl just aft of the flame tips. What do you guys think?
Man, I "WANT" to fly this....NOW! Lol.
Yes, I know....pilot dude needs a helmet color change still.
