    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    It maybe make it slightly more floaty, but honestly the power system was the best part at this point...It just bored holes in the sky...I wish my 70 Velox had this kind of power. I have tweak on mine some more to be fair..I might even try out the SFGs to see if that helps with some of the wing...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Check that on the CG as I was off by a good bit..I finally got to fly the Yak this weekend and ended up needing to have the battery all the way back against the wing tube as well as 1/2 oz. of weight by the tail wheel and I`m still not quite neutral enough.. I would say its gonna take another...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    3Drew, I haven`t gotten that far yet, but knowing their product I would go about 1.5 inches in front of the wing tube to start...You can remove the canopy and use the method were you hang the thing with a loop of string just to make sure your not tail heavy. Let her rip....Gonna maiden mine...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Ok, here is how aligned my cowl...Don`t laugh as it worked :D..The clothes pin hold the backing plate back to set the distance from cowl..I used mixing sticks to shim the height up and down.....Get this wrong on a Yak(very noticeable) and every guy at your club will remind you as they walk by.

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Agreed....I think i`m just gonna leave those off mine...They can`t do much and you got that gap and all...I never run SFGs.....Not really any problems going together as its typical 3DHS..Even without any instructions...The only thing I see is when the cowl is mounted the 4 screws need to go in...

    No, the SFGs are held on by wood screws...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    It just your traditional 3DHS build so I figure all you guys have seen it a 100 times. I`ll post some in the AM so down the road people can look at it...the whole kit looks good..The cowl is huge and kinda flexible..Probably need to be careful loading and unloading not to crack the paint..

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Got mine Thursday..Going together pretty good considering there really isn`t any instructions for this particular plane. Using the Torque motor you definitely don`t need any spacers on the X-mount..I`m excited to see this motor in this plane..All the EF planes with this package flat out scream...

    3DHS 60" Yak-55

    Got mine coming...I`m gonna use the 6s 3300s and the torque motor...I was gonna buy a EF MXS 64" so I already had everything..Love the black/yellow scheme and just like 3DHS a little better than EF..

    64" mxs exp

    Guys, I`m looking at getting one of these, but I want to rob the power system out of 3dhs 62" Osiris...It has a Hacker A50-12S Motor, 100 amp CC ESC and uses 5 cell 5000ma....Is that gonna work? I`m thinking I may need a different motor..thx...Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    That is why I don`t fly other people planes...The crap just seems to fail while you flying it..All these guy in our club want me to fly their 30cc and 50cc planes..Forget it! I`ll fly mine and you fly yours...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I have had bad luck with this kinda stuff..My "62 Osiris ripped the whole battery tray out.. That is pretty hard to do with a pattern plane..Luckily, the Velox has a sweet landing gear mount as always 3dhs.. Used a piece CF tube off a wrecked Addiction mount(don`t throw old planes out) to slide...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I had something odd happen on this plane the last two weekends I`ll share with you guys...I have had one of the aileron servo leads come unplugged from the RX..not from the extension, but the RX itself...The first time I landed it I thought I must have knocked it loose working on it...the 2nd...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    does anybody know what color ultracote red that is on the red/ yellow version..Its not flame red...so it must be true or deep? thx..Jason

    3DHS 70" Velox

    I just flew mine for the first time today...That CG with the battery against the wing tube seems too far back after flying mine several times today and adjusting..I have the same setup as you for the most part...I`m about 1.75 forward of the wing tube ...Your gonna want that 45 degree on the...

    3DHS 70" Velox

    Is there a trick to getting the cowl to work on the velox? I can`t get the canopy to slide underneath it as its too tight...thx Jason

    standard and metric rant!

    Yes, its the mix I`m talking about...The plane is made in China..It seems to me it would be a lot easier to get a 3mm blind nut then a 4-40 over there..I think 3DHS thinks if they use SAE you can go the hardware store and get hardware..I can get metric at my local ACE no problem...The worst is...
