    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    I am so glad I aborted the "10" down load. I can live with 8.1 for now. But darn! I still need to get "Real Flight- doughnut" Maybe I should have installed "Real Flight-coffee" first.

    Sport Restoring The Laser

    With a 6 servo air frame 2500mah should be plenty for 3 or 4 10-12 minute flights. I have found that the way I fly I typically use 350 to 5o0 mah per flight with a six servo set up. That's HVHT servos practicing freestyle routines. That is also with the same battery powering up the ignition.

    Hello from Roswell, New Mexico

    Welcome Perry! Question!:).....Do you know if Red Rooster Lanes is still in service and if Jack Chew's "Chew's Den" restaurant is still open??? Roswell is where I had a lot of good memories from the early sixties.

    YS-140 low compression

    If you need it serviced I would be more than happy to help a brother out. To distinguish the different models of the 140...... 140 FZ- crankcase front bearing housing is a shiny machined surface. Looks like any other YS 120 class engine. 140L- crankcase front bearing housing has a brown looking...

    YS-140 low compression

    Also.......I rebuilt a 140L with a new crank, crank ring, and piston/piston ring. I traded it to a friend who I know still has it and has never operated it. It is going to Perry this year but I bet you could steal it from him if your 140 craps on you. Also I would rebuild your 140 if you want...

    YS-140 low compression

    Been out selling off some YS engines:p. @Bartman the 140 comes in 3 different flavors! 140FZ, 140L and 140 dingo. Which one you got? The FZ is typical to traditional YS internals and the other two incorporate a crank shaft ring as well as ported piston crowns. But as the other guys have said...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Thanks Mike and David! Just some info on the set up.........The recommended cg for first flights is 27% MAC per the manual. This comes out to be 6.9 inches back from LE at root. On the model it put this cg location 1/4 inch behind the wing tube. Once I got my expo issue resolved I noticed I had...

    Peak Models 32% Extra 330 SC

    Don't confuse this plane with the 93" version. They do come out to about 20 pounds. I measured the wingspan and it is 89 and 1/8inch. It is LIGHT! will weigh it fully filled again with my fish scale. Earlier weights in the thread was all the parts weighed individually but included a pro-flow. I...

    All gooooooooooood! Plane is very stable! DA 70 did not even hick up!. Ran the engine for the 3rd time on the ground for about a minute. Can get a solid 1200 rpm idle. 4th run and it hauled 17lbs in to the blue sky! Only flew 4 circles and landed because dip-chit here had ZERO expo set with full...
