    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    Next I downloaded a template for the engine and transferred that over to the universal wood template AW includes with the plane. I then taped that on the motorbox while lining its alignment lines up with the alignment lines on the firewall. Then I drilled it out for the blind nuts. After I...

    I called it at 8oz. I could probably make it 2 oz lighter, but it's so tall. For all the time I have into it Monkey would definitely get upset if it were to crack because I made it thinner. ;) I can live with 2 extra oz. :)

    I got back to working on the engine spacer. I used a 2" holesaw and drilled holes in all eleven plates. Then I epoxied them together, ran the engine bolts through (that I coated in teflon lube) and clamped the whole mess down tight: While that was drying I glued in my rudder servos. I did...

    Might put it on this plane. :) Or, the Sukhoi... can't make up my mind. Walbro carburetor... interesting...

    Pre protractor days I would use it on all my planes. Later I think the only plane I can remember using aileron differential was my CompARF with skinned hinges. How about you guys?

    Sounds like you're doing a great job with your setup. I would enjoy seeing a video of your method, as well. Would love to have you check it when your done with a protractor, too. :) I like learning as well... I try to keep my mind open so that I keep learning everyday. And, my friends will tell...

    Kurt says that was Kevin Miller that hovered it over to him! :) So, I'm in the clear on that one. haha

    Geometry is like Kale, it's good for you but for most it does not taste pleasant. haha Have to try to bottle it in a more attractive way. lol Besides I change the thumbnail images on youtube out of respect to this site. By default they pickup a frame from the video with my blog address. So, I...

    That little piece of paper with a protractor printed on it can help us a lot. haha

    My brother from a different mother! haha I'll tell ya' about two tests I did. 1) I did a servo linearity "out of the box" shootout. I took highend (at the time) JR, Futaba, Hitec, and Airtronics servos and checked the travel each way off of center with the radio subtrim set to zero, end points...

    From another review where I'm talking about pushrod angles: Here’s some notes on how I drilled my own pilot holes located differently than the factory pilot holes… and how I measure to come up with that location: The combination of not being 90 and also being out of level has a lot of...

    Thanks, although I do tend to ramble extravagantly. haha

    Okay, pretty poor quality video. haha Just threw a GoPro on my head and started talking. Points I was trying to make: 1) protractors help you get your servos as synchronized as possible 2) you still want good leverage, resolution, and linearity with that synchronization 3) if you think your...

    Maybe I'd better be a bit more conservative for awhile. haha

    I hope McConville doesn't get upset about me reshaping his aileron. ;)

    This is off topic, but I got tired of wrenching on the Yak and went flying late this evening. I thought I'd do the ol' QQ roll to inverted on take off... but I didn't really work out the math. haha 10'2" wingspan would require a minimum of a 5'1" center of fuse height before roll was at 90...

    Yup, I read that other thread on the other site when it popped up... and that was a good discussion. I can't speak to the BH or the Pilot as I have never had either, but I can speak to the quality of the H9 Sukhoi by comparison. I would say the "quality" of the work is similar. Both excellent...
