Assembly: Aeroworks QB 150cc Yak 55M

I bolted on the stock axles, wheels and spats:



I did change the set screw to a socket head style. Much easier to deal with and not have strip out.



Oh, and also the screws for mounting the spats... I changed them to stainless steel with stainless steel sealing washers:

I bolted on the stock tailwheel... they are very light, less than an oz:



I changed out the stock phillips head screws (they would work, but I prefer not to push on the plane when putting them in and/or removing them, and that is what you have to do with phillips screws) to a socket head screw. You could even go to a 6-32 socket head, I believe. But, I ran these in, then took them out, put some thin CA down the holes, let it dry, then put these 3mm servo screws in there and it felt solid.

The cowl is crazy custom cool with its interlocking stout tabs with only four screws visible on the bottom of the plane. The fit on mine was perfect:

I just love the squat-ty turtle deck and the bulbous canopy! I'm repeating myself, but you have to see it in person!

Ordered a 4" TruTurn P-51 spinner with a Menz cut:

Here's a Fromeco sticker Nolasco from P1 Hobbies sent me:

Well, a fellow Hitec user wanted me to have a chance to compare the Hitec brushless to the JR brushless... so I was able to get these servos (I'll be trying these first and then the JR brushless after for a comparison):

I tried to decide if I was going to use any electronics that would be incompatible with the regenerative braking that these servos have. Not being certain I decided to use a PAD (power absorbing device) on each servo. I always solder my servo leads to my extensions anyway, so it wasn't much extra work to attach the PADs right there at the splice:

Rumor has it these servos have serious power, so I bolted them down with 3mm x 5/8 screws:



I'm also thinking of going with ultra HD DUBRO 10-32 control horns:

I did my usual and soldered Dean's ends onto the servo extensions. Nice grommet Rocco has setup for your servo extension ends:



Nolasco @ P1 made me up this DA sticker, as well:
