    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Well Fellas, I think tomorrow afternoon's task will be to make up my throttle and choke linkages for the Yak and program the servos. I don't think I'm going to get my prop hub anyway. Then finally, the last thing will be to patch the last large hole in the side of the fuse. If everything...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    I'm afraid that's not going to happen, Rob. . . . LOL. I just realized that's an old picture. I have removed the stand off's and removed the triangle stock near the rear of the left cylinder for better air flow. It fits the airframe perfectly. Besides, it's only a 110, so it's too small for...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    I have a question for you fellas. Does the AMA safety code require a manual on/off switch on the ignition battery for a gas plane or can O use an electronic switch? Thanks

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Good evening Fellas, I hope everybody had a great weekend. . . . . :big_yes:. I went to the flying field Saturday so I didn't get anything done on the Yak then, but my Buddy and I put a good four hours into it today. I packed everything up and took the plane to his house this morning. He has...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Howdy Fellas, As busy as I was this weekend, I managed to put a few minutes into working on my Yak. I decided it was time to go ahead and mount the ignition module for the red headed Beast. I decided to install it on the top hatch of the motor box. I talked to my flying Buddy about...

    Bill Hempels Team Edge still operating ?

    Bill Hempel is still selling planes. I emailed Bill recently, regarding the availability his 35% Extra 260 for a future project and Bill promptly responded back to me. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any, nor are there any in the container that is on its way here. . . . . :(.

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Well Fella's, What was left of Hurricane Dorian, kept me out of the shop this afternoon. There was a little bit of moderate wind this afternoon, but quite a bit of rain. Tomorrow morning is going to be spent at my Buddy's house trying to nail down the flooding problem I'm still having on my...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    @AKNick What I mean by half way is half of the amount of throttle trim the radio has. My flying Buddy came out yesterday and we talked about it some more too. He suggested the same thing you did. The next time I fly it, I am not going to choke it at all and see if it will start. If that...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    @AKNick Most often, I choke it and flip the prop. The engine usually pops on the third or fourth flip. Then I open the choke and it immediately floods so I have to use an electric starter to get it running. I set my throttle trim just a beep or two above half. That may sound like allot of...

    I’m going out flying thread 2019

    Well Fellas, I Took the H9 Extra 260 back out today and had a blast. For some reason, I'm still having a little bit of an issue with starting the DA-50. I don't know why, but it seems like the engine floods immediately, even with the choke off. Have any of you fellas had any issues like that...
