    Tanks @Bartman, Now that you mention it, I remember reading about problems with the Miracle switches as well. Unflortunately, the MPI switch with charge jacks are only rated for 6.0 volts and it is not large enough to fill the hole in the fuselage. I'd also like to find a double switch /...

    Hey Wade, That's interesting. I thought it fit your Da as well. Was the bolt circle too small or too large for the DA? Makes me wonder what engine it was drilled for. Dang it Kelly, Here I am getting ready to got to bed you post that picture. That's not something anyone should see right...

    Dang it, Dang it, Dang it. I had a sick feeling I screwed up last week and as my luck would have it, I was right for a change. . . . . . . . . :face-palm:. Some of you guys can probably guess where I'm going with this? While 3W and DA both use six bolt prop hubs on their twins, the bolt...

    Well Fellas, I got a few goodies for my Yak on Monday. First off, I got a receiver and an extra from a gentleman on RCG. Also, I got my servo arms & servo tray from SWB. Do you guys see what I see? I did not realize a turnbuckle wrench came with the Pull Pull hardware, that's why you see...

    Yeah Kelly, I know. Fixing the holes should be enough. Hey Robert, funny you should post that link. I was on the Booma RC website last night and I saw that, but somewhere before, I saw one for two switches and I didn't see it on the website last night.

    Hey Bart, As my luck would have it, everything in the link you sent me is out of stock. I sent an email to Tom at Valley View to see how tall those switches are so I can make sure one would cover the hole. Thanks for the link Buddy. . . . . :way_to_go:

    Good morning Fellas, I have a question for you gents. Where can I find a large duplex switch to put in the large square hole on the left front top of the fuse in the attached picture? According to the man I bought it from, the plane had a Power Box Controller and the hole was for the selector...

    Thanks Rob, Did you ever fly one of these Yak's? I'm really looking forward to flying this thing. As far as size goes, if I get any more Behemoth, I'm going to have to get a trailer to carry the plane in. . . . .:laughing:.

    Hey @Snoopy1, I promise you this, as excited as I am, it will not keep me from falling asleep. . . . . . ;). The Yak probably won't be ready until around the end of the month, maybe a little later. That's OK though because I still need to order a few things for the Yak and I still need to send...

    Like I said a few posts back, I am extremely happy with my Yak. . . . . :yesss:. I think it will serve me very well as my first giant scale plane. I would like to make a couple of comments and ask for some advice from you guys on a couple of things. With regards to the aileron extensions...

    As promised, here are some pick of my Yak. This first picture may look familiar. . . . . ;) The next picture is of the wing bolts & canopy bolts. I like the fact that all of the 4-40 bolts are stainless steel. These are pre made aileron extensions with ashlock type connectors. I don't...
