    Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

    I thought about extending the motorbox and not using an engine spacer. But, my flying buddy has a 4 cylinder that he thinks would be fun to try on this plane (after I get a few flights on the plane with the twin). So, I started in on an engine spacer. This is the longest one I've made... 2-3/4"...

    I'm old and can't remember that. Maybe I remember something... or maybe not. haha I think if anything that must have been Kyle that hovered it over to Kurt. haha I tell you one thing, I could totally see Kurt snatching that monster plane out of the sky and carrying it around under one arm. haha

    Off topic: haha I just wanted to talk about Kurt @ Fromeco. I just got off the phone and he said, "Now I'm going to have to smack you around." haha Deal is, I'm ordering some switches from him for, hopefully, this plane. His switches have a higher throughput than most all HD switches (I...

    Yeah, maybe the powers that be are more open to those types of discussions here, I don't know. It's a small hobby, especially in the 150cc size. It reminds me of that documentary Mondovino. And, also of Robert Parker (same industry). You have these generations old wineries in france, etc. With...

    That's a great idea! Will do in the next few days... I'll try it make it sooner rather than later... maybe late night tonight. :)

    Let's think about that... ruggedly handsome, good at plane setup, likes bananas, kind of a loose cannon on the forums... could be, could definitely be! haha

    Friday night working on an engine spacer, this is sad. Anyway, thanks, dhal22, I'll keep you posted... I think I'll make an engine spacer (has to be like 3" long on this plane for a twin, because it's setup for an easy 4 cylinder installation) tonight. Then maybe do the plumbing and on to the...

    Well I'm gonna compare the Hitec brushless to the JR brushless, so might as well compare the DA 170 to the 3W 170! I'd like to compare the Futaba and MKS brushless servos, too. I haven't found anyone who has run all these servos and actually knows how they compare. I'd like to compare a ZDZ 180...

    Monkey was telling me he's out of everything, so I told him to go online and order whatever he truly needed. He says he did:

    Thanks, stang! Yeah, I bet we all know this feeling all too well! Grrrrrr. lol You work so hard to order everything early, you make the time, and still it doesn't work out. Doh! lol But, they say it should be here tomorrow... so cross your fingers. :)

    Thanks, brother! And, you know I've been busy, Naughty Monkey! :) I'm so bummed right now, I ordered the programmer for the brushless servos a week ago and nothing. Oh well. Maybe I'll start mounting the engine...

    Yeah, I'm reading too much stuff like that. I wanted to try it for fun, but I'm going to stay with the BelRay. :)

    You bet! I used a protractor to adjust the height of the outside control horn to match the inside control horn. You want the pivot point (ball joint) the same height above hinge. Owing to the tapered wing that will be a different height off the control surface. In this case approx. 1/4". With...
