    Rebuilding the Yak...again.

    Got my 7990s in the tail of the 126" Aerobeez Extra today. Had to make a pair of spacers for each side since they're deeper than standard servos. On a personal note, being sick really sucks :(

    Re-maiden was a success!!! Feels better than before, arrow straight in the air. Compared to the 70cc and the foamies, this thing is a huge floater and everything happens in slow motion :D

    Today has been a fairly productive and exciting day :) Ontop of re-maidening my 107" Pilot Yak 54, I came home with a new airplane hauler!!! It's a 1999 Chevy Express 2500, 117K miles, 2nd owner, 5.7L. Hauls, tons of space, very very clean. Will have a maiden voyage tomorrow!!

    Power boards/expanders really needed?

    These are what I use in my 35%: http://www.pulsebattery.com/batteries/all-batteries/pulse-5000mah-2s-7-4v-15c-receiver-battery-lipo-battery.html I can get probably 10 hard flights off a set of them before needing to recharge, and I've got 9 servos.

    I never use a dry iron tip for anything, always wet it with some solder :) (Hakko FX888D 70w iron)
