About wrapped up the Yak today. I’ll take it to the field this week and see if I can fire up the DLE that came with it.

How did you manage that?

A small bit of progress. Landing gear mounted. Opted for no pants as of now, subject to change.

Would have gotten much further if the dummy ordering the hardware specified the correct size!
Also managed to draw a new piece for the cabane strut mounting plate. Needs a small tweak but I’m very pleased with the first iteration.

Cell phone photo emailed to me but my IPad will not save from email. I try to save it and finally got a screen shot of some sort to save and that’s what I got

Pretty sure a few IPA's were involved!

Can’t drink a few, too strong of beer….

Cleaned up the EF Muscle Bipe with the special recipe known as Wash Wax ALL by Aero Cosmetics. Great products manufactured by a friend in San Antonio, TX. Link HERE In case you’re interested. Looks much better!

Chased the wrinkles away with the covering iron and opened up the wing bays to survey the damage. Not nearly as bad as it looked.

Fiddled with one end of the pull pull linkage using the new hardware by Secraft from Gator RC. Link HERE. The servo end of the linkage is next using more of their hardware. Link HERE.

Mounted the BNIB stabs with the carbon rods I managed to acquire. Planning to spend time sorting out the wing center section this weekend,
