    Need help with Yak build

    Two switches are not necessary, but I always put a switch in-between the battery and opto kill switch, as well as a switch between the battery and receiver. But I also prefer the Smart Fly kill switch, with external LED. No confusion on condition of kill switch!

    Thanks Mikey :) They are bright! I like night flying so this will fit the bill well. In the summer, and in my flying circle, it's hard to find people that will stay up late enough to night fly with! :nightmare:

    The only place I could get the esc to fix good was the very top/front of the motor box.

    Addiction XL Build??

    Rudder pull pull is done. I used the forward mount method . Pull pull cables have to be crossed and the exit is doubled with some packing tape, as there is no backing for the exit cables. I used a long strait edge to make the proper marks for the exit holes. I atached the cables to the servo...

    Next I decided to get the soldering part done. I always tint the wires and deans connectors before soldering, then clean the surfaces with alcohol before adding the shrink tubing. I used the deans connector on the ESC and about 22" of extension lead on the elevator servo. The kit does come with...

    Addiction XL Build??

    Spent some time and got the cowl fitted. I had to remove some material from the bottom side of the cowl, where it goes over the landing gear. I didn't get the carbon spinner with the order, but I will probably end up ordering it. The cowl does fit a bit tight but will settle in once the...

    Next I got the elevator in. First pic showed how far I had to adjust a couple of hinges from the original slot. The sharpie mark is where I had to move them. Then I sealed the gap with the supplies covering.

    Got the slot cut open for the stab and got it glued in. This was the first time that I didn't have to adjust the stab at all, before gluing it in place. It was plum, square, and level first fit!

    Motor box is on. You also need to make sure that you epoxy the entirety of the carbon rod along the former.

    Addiction XL Build??

    After test fitting the motor box, I found that the carbon rod that goes in front of the former is impeded by some glue holding the battery tray in place. I had to remove the glue before permanently gluing the motor box on.

    Yep, with the new style motor they have it hanging off the front. I like it better too. Just hope they made sure the cowl will have the right positioning. Still have to check that!
