    Redwing 30cc Yak55 Buid Log

    Hinging the rudder is basically the same as the ailerons and elevator. The only mod that needs to be made is that you will need to grind or sand off 1/4" off of each control arm allowing all 4 to fit into the rudder without hitting each other. Just apply glue, install hinges and tape in...

    Redwing 30cc Yak55 Buid Log

    With the all the hinging except for the rudder out of the way, it was time to start on the fuse. Upon removing the fuse, again the covering was flawless and beautiful. The fit and finish of the structure also appeared neat and joints were secure. The firewall appeared to have been joined with...

    I wanted to use the carbon arms supplied with the kit for the servos but that meant using the plastic servo wheels that come with the servos. I didn't like that idea so I did some checking. I found these neat metal servo wheels from Redwing RC that you can get to fit almost any servo spline...

    Tonight I decided to work on the aileron linkages. Pretty straight forward here with the included ball links and rods. Once you have cut the servo openings out of the wing be sure and tack the edges of the covering back down with an iron. I will be installing Savox 1256 servos on all flight...

    I continued by hinging the ailerons. The wings come with the hinges already drilled and installed, you just have to glue them in place. Everyone has their own way of hinging but I prefer to use Hysol. It gives me a longer working time for those unforeseen moments when I get distracted or wind...

    Ok, I will be starting with the wings. I removed the wings from the plastic wrap and the finish was nearly perfect. As I stated before, just a few minor wrinkles near the hinge line was all the touch-up needed. This gave me the opportunity to go over all seams with the sealing iron as well...

    Ok, I am going to attempt a build thread on my new 30cc Redwing RC Yak 55 that I picked up at the Austin 3D bash a while back. I will begin posting pics tomorrow evening when I get off work. Overall, my initial impressions of the quality of the plane are excellent. Everything was packaged...
