    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Another thing you will have to do is Dremel out a small hole in your cowl for the port side spark plug. I left mine open as you see in the picture. My buddy Kevin put a graphic from B & E over his on the 88" Edge. Kevin says that the DA70 is so awesome, that you have to cut a small hole in...

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    I had the same situation. This airframe was designed for a single cylinder engine with the throttle servo mounted inside the motor box. I mounted my throttle servo 'upside down' and used some all thread that I purchased at a local Ace hardware for the pushrod. You can see the servo mounted and...

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Kevin Estes recommended this stuff to me and it works great. Don't use hard gaskets. Richard

    Here is another shot from that day. What a great lineup ! I can't figure out how to turn the picture. It's not that way on my computer.

    Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

    Dribar, what plans do you have for exhaust on your new Yak? Here are the static pics my twin pipes from the video. However, it took a lot of cutting and engineering. Alternatively DA is about to release a 2 into 1 header that can be fed into a tuned pipe or can. Tony at DA has the details. Just...

    Another 91" EF Yak 54 Build

    I turned the controls of my plane over to a very talented young pilot by the name of Alex Campbell this weekend. Maybe one day I will be able to fly like this. After all, it is my plane :) http://vimeo.com/114516453

    Enjoy the MXS. Three planes in one! (With wing tips on, without wing tips, with SFG's). She is a slippery wild beast on high rates, and pretty decent at precision on low rates. Enjoy! Richard

    Extreme Flight 74" Laser

    They had several big planes at Joe Nall. I was torn between the big Extra and the Yak. Glad I became a Yakaholic!

    Yep. I live in Nashville now, and often people who live here refer to it as NashVegas. However, I also lived in Las Vegas for 8 years, and traveled near Washington, UT every winter to hit the slopes of Brianhead! I spent many a Summer in Zion as well. Small world :) Richard

    Another 91" EF Yak 54 Build

    ES Composites Just found this Forum, so here's my first post! A rather unfortunate nose-in dead stick required me to replace the stock mufflers on my Yak. So rather than go stock, I squeezed two ES Composite pipes in my Yak running a DA70. It took a bit of mods to the pipe tunnel, but I...

    Hmmmmm....decisions, decisions....I wonder what airframe I will put my free DA50 in? Definitely going with an ES Composite pipe. Probably wait for the new, BIG Extreme Flight MXS!

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Redline costs $80 per gallon here in good ole' TN. Is Amsoil similarly priced? That may help you decide.
