Hi this is Rich Moore, some of you have not had opportunity yet to see my new Yak so will post several pictures of it. This plane is a 50cc sized plane, with DLE 55, has Hitek titanium servos, and is flown with my Airtronics 10 SD-10G. I maidened it two weeks ago and then have about four or five flights on it since. It flies very well and am sure I will enjoy it in future. To bad flying season is quickly coming to a close.

Just a small update. I installed the rudder. It was my first time using robart style hinges. After installing them I like them a lot better than CA hinges. It was a very simple process using PU glue and Vaseline. Next up is servo and control horn installation!

 

My belated birthday present finally showed up on my door step last week. I have stepped up to a 50cc sized plane and cannot wait to get out there and fly it. First things first though, the plane needs to be assembled. The slick came in two boxes and was packaged extremely well. I cannot believe the quality of the plane itself, the covering is tight and looks amazing in person. I plan on powering this plane with a DLE-55 using HS-7955TG servos. The plane will have a 89″ wingspan, 91″ long with a wing loading of 1500 sq inches. The weight is supposed to be between 17-19lbs. So far I have attached the landing gear and the tail wheel. The next step will be gluing in the rudder. I will be updating the blog on my build status.

Roger, Larry, Brian, and I did some slope flying in the winds the past few days. Here are a few videos Brian shot.
