    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Just for a little fun. I got curious of the origin of the Yak and its primary purpose. Now I know. Despite its earlier number, the Yak-54 was actually developed from the Yak-55M, to replace the Yak-56. It is the OKB's latest aerobatic trainer, with the airframe of the Yak-55M modified with an...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Thought I better give ya all a little update before I find my bed for the night. I spent a little time after work finishing up the snakeskin on the wiring harnesses. They look pretty good but a little disappointed in the Carbon Fiber color. If one harness is loomed through them, they look really...

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    You know Doug, everything you've heard about the 3.1 Sukhoi is pure understatement. I have been so afraid to damage mine so I've been very careful. Fly it? Yes, but very carefully. Almost to the point I didn't like flying it. It scared me. But this last weekend when I had her out, I opened up a...

    SOLD! DLE 111 V3 $500.00 Shipped

    I just purchased two brand new exhaust from Tower Hobbies two weeks ago. $65 was the cost. $590. That includes $30 for shipping. I will absorb the PayPal fees. I really don't need to sell it, and as previously mentioned it is basically a brand new motor.

    Hangar 9 3.1M Sukhoi

    So you've not flown a 3.1 H-9 Sukhoi before? Or maybe you have flown a buddies? If not, you are truly in store for an awesome treat without a doubt. I have been considering buying a second one just to have a backup. Never done that before.

    Time to strip out the big Yak. So I can install everything in the big Yak. Yes, you read that correct. And if that doesn't confuse you, riddle me this? How (why) is it that it takes so long to put our equipment into our planes and make them flight ready? When a perfectly reliable and well flying...

    Now as for the fuse, it really was not too bad at all. Perhaps because it has more open structure???? Not really sure. But the only place it was actually wrinkled, (and not severely) was back where the turtle deck meets the vertical fin. That always seems to be a problem area. Probably because...

    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    Just like its counterpart, the right wing panel. The left wing panel was just as wrinkled. Again, nothing to be excited about. I really like the Top Flite sealing iron for many reasons. One I have found that works superb is getting into tight areas that could normally not be reached. Those...

    I got a little more accomplished on the new Yak last night. I wanted to get the last of the shrinking done on the covering so that I could get some "inside fuse" work done today. I started with the rudder first. It was about like the rest of the wings and stabs. Wrinkled like an old elephant...

    Nice Kelly, Would you post the link to where you got that pump? The pump I purchased for my gas can setup works. But when it comes to filling those Behemoth Fuel tanks, it takes a while. Heck, my unshaven stubble becomes a six inch beard before my tanks are filled. LOL.

    How sweet are those panels?! Unfortunately Eric has already designed my dash panels and new Yak graphics. I would really hate to change it up on him now. Especially after all the work he put into them. But thank you so much for thinking of us. (The Behemoth Brother Yak (2) and me)

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

    I considered it for tomorrow. But I would be going out alone. My son is feverishly burning the midnight oil and daytime sunlight rebuilding the front section of the fuse on his PAU Edge. Crazy how that structure would remind you of egg shells or non tempered glass. It never should have shattered...

    Not really last night, but early this morning while awaiting the Sukhoi to charge. I removed a couple of things. Anyone know what it is?

    Cool The I'm going out flying thread 2017

    Why is it that on your day off, your eyes "POP" wide open at 4:30 a.m. as though they had a mind of their own? No alarms set, the house was very cool and the blankets oh so comfy. I wanted so much to sleep in. After the week I had, I could think of nothing better to do than to just stay in bed...
