    Dude that sucks!!!!!! I've done it before too. Nothing destroys your ego faster than reversed ailerons on a maiden flight :scaredchair:

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Spent a decent amount of time repairing the elevator last night. Only had 30 minute epoxy to glue with, so it came out pretty strong. Re-enforced it with some scrap CF rod I had hanging around the shop.

    Yeah but it wasn't through fault of my own, it was out of human control. I started on the elevator last night, she's back to about 90%, need to pick up some more glues and materials today to finish it up. Will start on the aileron today as well.

    Got to put the 35% Yak under the knife today. Had a little incident this past weekend and now have a damaged elevator counterbalance, crumpled aileron tip, and cracked rudder. Cowl got a little runway rash and broke the ring, but our runway is a geotextile material so some buffing compound had...

    There could also be lots of variables. But keep in mind, with 2" 3D arms you're only looking at about 150oz of torque output, maybe less. Lots of variables. I've never had blowback on mine, even high speed rollers.

    Got the Yak out and assessed the damage last night, will be starting to repair it today hopefully.

    We can't give out proprietary test data. Like I said, 2 7955's is more than adequate on the ailerons of a 35%. You'd need 3 of them on a 40%.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Had to finish up my Jeep project for this weekend so I could pull the 35% Yak into the workshop and get crackin' on some repairs... Small incident from the weekend :confused: At least I can see at night on those super dark back dirt roads now :mario-banana:

    The HS-7955TG servo was introduced before HV specific servos came about. We ran a lot of extensive tests on it and found that it can handle direct 2S Lipo just fine, but it is the only servo in our pre-HV lineup that will handle HV no problem. I run 6, 7955's in my 35% Yak on HV without issue...

    Fitted a new blower motor into the boat. That was about the extent of my afternoon, aside from running errands.

    That's a bit frightening. I remember last year at the Wenatchee Huck we were encapsulated by smoke most of the time, though ash did not rain down on us.
