    Triple Tree Aerodrome, AOPA Mag Article

    It is definitely a world class facility. I look forward to attending again in the future.

    Where should build and assembly threads be? POLL, please vote!

    I say create new sub forums. Make a 3D section where all of the content about 3D flying goes, then an IMAC section for IMACers, then scale for the scale dudes, jets, so on and so forth. It's easier if you have a dedicated forum to keep the specific content in that forum.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    My Yak is power hungry with them huge ailerons :mario-banana: My 91" Slick on the other hand I can probably manage 35+ flights on one set of 1900 packs without recharging :brian-banana:

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    The packs just aren't holding up anymore, they probably have 4-500 cycles on them by now. After 2 flights with me behind the sticks, they're hitting almost 6.0v under load. I have some fresh new Pulse 5000 packs coming in the main to replace the Fromeco's.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    2 flights is about all I can manage to get out of the Fromeco 5200 packs on my 107" Yak now before they sag down to the 6.0v range. Too low for me to keep flying, there's always tomorrow. Sealing the elevator hinge gaps made the pitch SO much more responsive. I was not expecting it to spin as...

    Share your ideas for safe pre-flight and flying

    My routine involves always charging packs up the night before and giving the fuselage a brief once over. They sit inside the shop all week after the previous weekends flying so the theory is that nothing should have changed from the last post flight inspection, but we all know that theories are...

    Also just ordered up some new Pulse 2s 5000 Rx packs for the Yak since the Fromeco's are getting a bit dated.

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

    Did some more much needed TLC to the Yak last night. Removed all of the elevator servo screws and ran CA back down in the holes to harden them back up and put it all back together. I was missing one screw which prompted me to do that. I also went over the covering on both elevator halves to seal...

    Hitec HS7954SH on 5,9V?

    You can just round it up to 6.0v since 5.9v is so close, it'll perform almost exactly at the 6.0v specs.

    We've been having a bug infestation lately so we've gone through about 10 gallons of insect killer in our 1/3 acre property this week alone! But last night I was able to sneak away for pretty much the whole afternoon and work on the Yak. Since I took the cans out the airplane became super...

    Funny... My aunt got one of those for her desert home and it works amazing. The house may not be all that big, but it sure does make it a comfortable escape from the heat.

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

    It was a workshop kind of night last night. Redid some wiring inside of my 35% Yak and replace a couple of screws that went missing from my elevator servo mounts last time I flew it :oblong: I was wondering why it felt a little soft on the elevator and then I saw it when I was breaking it down...

    Had a very fun morning at the Yuma Aeromodelers club, though I am starting to realize I need to tweak a few things on the Slick. Love that DA70!

    Crammed the Slick in the boat, haulin out to Yuma for some fun. Going to sneak away in the morning and try to fly at one of the local clubs.

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

    Felt that my baffling wasn't sufficient enough to get enough air flowing over the engine on the Yak, so I did a little more trimming on the cowl, widened up the baffles, and widened up the exit on the bottom of the cowl. Also blocked off the pipe tunnel to keep air from rushing in there. Hoping...

    Baffled my Yak today. Hope I made the baffles wide enough, it covers all but the top of the cylinder.

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Loving this airplane all over again! Low end is a bit lean so I'll get that straightened out tonight, and get my baffles in. But she flies awesome, so much lighter, throttle responds quick. Why didn't I slap mufflers and a 27x11 on sooner... o_O:confused:
