    3D Restoring The Yak

    Not to worry. If it was made that way at the factory, there is a reason. I never considered you were nit picking.

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Good eye. I didn't even see that. Hmm???:lol2: Guess we'll see if the right wing is the same. I'm sure Tony had a motivation behind that procedure. I'm sure the vrtical sticks are for structural support. Maybe that one rib does not need them???

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Got the repair cut out... Cleaned the glue joints and added sheeting supports... Cut and shaped the replacement section...and ready to glue in section. Once glued in and sanded, I almost could not tell if it was repaired or factory done. After a quick once over to check for any other...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    I got started on the wing stripping this afternoon. As with the fuse, stabs/elevators and rudder, it was pretty well straight forward. It was a little tedious though. I would definitely not recommend attempting this without the use of a heat gun. That covering was really stuck down good...

    Okie doki, I think it's been a mad covering day. And now calling it quits for the night. But...before I leave ya all hangin', here is the accomplishment for the day. Black down, check. Silver down, check. Green down, check. Bottom matches. Even the top matches. And how about a...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Well, been doing the covering on the left stab/elevator today. So far I've capped the ends and gotten the white down. So far, it's looking pretty good. Those sealed hinge lines take a little time, but sure look nice when done. I'm going to take a little break. When I return, I will...

    3D Restoring The Yak

    I had one of the greatest Christmas's in a long time. After spending yesterday with my kids and grandsons due to work and other obligations, that left my entire day today to my little ole lonesome. It was pretty nice though. I spent the whole day with a certain very large Yak. I jumped in first...

    Ah well... that 'splains it. I had a Slick that was that way. Really great flying plane in most respects. Low down on the deck full on mashed gas pedal knife edge passes were insane. Change the CG for more extreme 3D and it was the worst pig to land. But did great aerbatics. Change the CG so it...

    That's just awesome. Hydraulic brakes on an r/c airplane. How cool is that?

    3D Restoring The Yak

    Naaa.... either end is good. I did this for a couple of reasons pal. 1, everyone always does the front first. I've done the front first. I decided to do the back first this time. It's just as important to see where ya been, as it is where you're going. 2, I'm saving the best for last. You know...

    Any Monokote users here?

    Not really sure if there would be a way to know if you got an old batch or new. But I would venture a guess that unless you are dealing with a "mom and pop" LHS, you're probably going to get new stock covering with the updated materials. Don't get me wrong, there was a time when I absolutely...

    Kelly, was there a specific reason you decided to dump the 104 and get a Pilot Edge?

    Do you think the brake setups are going to add a noticeable weight deficit?
