    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    @Snoopy1, Good question, the answer is ummmm, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . yes:laughing:. Seriously though, I did buy the engine for the Yak, all the while knowing the red head will be capable of flying any 35% airframe I'd want in the future. Some may not agree with me...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    As much as I appreciate everyone's input, I am almost glad it's going to be too hot this weekend to work on my Yak. It will give me more time to think about it and make up my mind. Robert eluded to the one issue that is giving me more and more heartburn, the more I look at it. The heartburn...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Now that I'm in the correct thread, lets continue our journey with The "Good", The "Bad" & The "Ugly" Part II. In this installment, I did not get any pictures of the "Good". It wasn't much anyway. It was that I was able to bolt the cowl to the fuselage by removing the velocity stack. I do...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I just realized I put my "Good, Bad & Ugly" post in the wrong thread. I meant to put it in my Yak thread. . . . . . . :msn_slap:. Anyway, I will try to put stuff in the right thread from now on. . . . :way_to_go:

    Hey @WMcNabb, Seeing pictures of your AWESOME Python always helps. . . . . . . :way_to_go:.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    You're absolutely right Robert. I talked to my flying Buddy this evening and he confirmed the fact that he had to remove the velocity stack on the 110 in his Carden. I am also a little confused about the dimensions I took as well. A DA-100 is 6-1/2" long and you can see in the pictures that...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I'm afraid, I'm going to have to name this post "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly". . . . .. :laughing:. First off, "The Good" - I took these pictures to help keep me motivated. I was really starting to get motivated by the time I took the last picture, but my motivation didn't last long...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Hey @Snoopy1, I am not familiar with the DA-120, but I have seen a DA-100 and the 3W110CS both in my Buddy's Carden and the power difference is astonishing. It's likely to be a few weeks before I can get the Yak finished and the 3W broken in & mounted on the plane, so please bear with me...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    I certainly keep you informed @Snoopy1 . . . . . :big_yes:. If it performs anything like the one my flying Buddy has in his Carden Extra 330, I will be super excited. . . . . . :yesss:. Watching the big Extra fly was another reason I went with this engine. I'm sure my Yak is a little heavier...

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    @Snoopy1, I hear ya Buddy. I just put aside a little money every chance I could until I had enough to buy it. I almost went with a DA-100 like the plane originally had, but like I said in my post above, I have a thing for red heads. . . . . ;). BTW, that's a nice radio you just picked up. ...

    Good evening Fellas, The UPS man paid the office where I work a visit this morning. A call to the G Man on Tuesday resulted in this today. The motivation for my Yak has arrived. To say I'm excited, is an understatement. . . . . . . :yesss:. This thing is almost too pretty to hide inside a...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Well, Like my friends Rob & Doug, life has taken me away from not only my favorite website, but flying and working on anything as well. . . . . . :(. That's going to change very soon, thankfully so I will be able to get back on my Yak. :banana-dance:. During my absence, I have done some...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Thanks for letting us know Robert. I know all too well about like keeping me busy. . . . .:yesss: The club I am a member of has the same rule. . . . . . No discussing politics at the field. Which is awesome because I go to the field to fly and have a good time, not listen to a bunch of...

    Scale Don Smith P-51 Mustang

    Geez, I thought I had been gone for a while, but my Buddy @stangflyer hasn't posted in this thread since March. . . . . . :(. I just hope his absence is because he's having too much fun flying his Behemoth Yak and other planes. I'm sure he'll return when he can. . . . .:big_yes:

    Giant P-51 Mustang destroyed on take off

    That video brings back bad memories. I lost my Hangar 9 Miss America on its maiden flight and it lasted almost as long as the one in the video. It's the only crash I've had that still bothers me. . . . . . . .:cryin:

    Dang, It's mighty quiet around here, these days. It must be flying season. . . . . . . :yesss:. I got one more little piece I need for my Yak. I Kelly suggested I try one of these, so I will. I am new to them, so I'm curious to see how it goes. I like the idea of battery redundancy...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Hey fellas, Got a little time yesterday to work on the Yak. I put the servos in one wing and when I went to do the other, I realized the first pre-made extension I got with the plane was more than long enough, but the other one was not long enough so I only get the servos in one wing. I...
