    Well Fellas, Ten hours on the road to High Point NC and back and I can FINALLY say, I am now the owner of a 35% Bill Hempel Yak 55. . . . . . :woohoo!:. Sorry, but no pictures tonight as it was after dark when I got home and had started to rain as soon as I started to walk to the house. I...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Well Fellas, It's been a loooong week. I'm having a hard time waiting until Sunday when I go get my new Baby. I'm REALLY starting to get excited. . . . . :yesss:. I did order my 14 channel receiver today for it. I also got in touch with @pawnshopmike and amended my servo order to include an...

    Idea! Avatar Update

    Hey @WMcNabb, You and Rob are starting to make me feel like a slacker with all of these cool new avatars. . . . . :laughing:. that's OK though, I'm going Sunday to pick up my Yak 55. I've been thinking about going ahead and changing my avatar to a "Before" picture and update it again with an...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    The 14MZ started doing things differently from every other Futaba radio I've had. I learned the new ways when I bought my 12Z as they share the same programming as the 14MZ. Rob's right though, it shouldn't be a problem with separate channels. I just need to learn how to do it. I'm outta...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Thanks for the advise Rob. My Mama didn't raise no Dummy. I'd be foolish to disregard such sage advise from a Behemoth Yak flyer, like my good friend @stangflyer . . . . . . . :yesss:. Even though the gentleman I purchased the plane from said the plane flew well with a single Savox 1270 on...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Thanks Dude, I wouldn't have bought it f I didn't already have the engine. IF you aver make it down this way this summer, you'll have to come out to the flying field and I will give you some stick time on the Yak.

    Idea! Avatar Update

    I'm with @Snoopy1 on this. At first, my feeble gray matter was all confused, but it didn't take long to figure out who was who again. I will change mine when the Yak is finished.

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Hey @Snoopy1, Yeah, I think I have everything pretty much lined up except for a receiver and maybe servo arms. Other than the rudder arm, I don't recall if I will get the plane with the other servo arms or not. Guess I'll have to wait until Sunday to find out. Oh yeah, I need a prop too. I...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    @Michael Grossman Bill's website still appears to be functioning. I just pretended to order a Yak55 and when I selected it, my Paypal account opened to pay for the plane. I'm not really computer savy and that may just be a function of Paypal. You can go to Bill Hempel.com and see if you can...

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Hey @WMcNabb, Let me think about that one. I will want to fly the Yak with a 2 blade prop first. In all the years I've been flying, I've never run a 3 blade prop on a plane. Thanks Buddy. . . . . :way_to_go:

    Bill Hempel Yak 55

    Well Fella's, As I mentioned in another thread, I will soon be in possession of a Bill Hempel 35% Yak 55 airframe in the blue and white scheme. I was supposed to go pick it up on Sunday, but I was held up too long in Florence SC on Saturday and I was whipped by the time I got home. The engine...

    Hey Rob, It really was good seeing Mark pop back in the other day. @thurmma, so good to see you back Buddy. . . . . :yesss:. You are so right about cancer. I didn't know Sam, but I will certainly keep him and his late wife in my prayers. I lost my father and sister both to cancer, so I kinda...

    AeroWorks 150cc Ultimate

    Hey @acerc, Pay very close attention to the top wing structure near where it joins the center section. If my memory serves me right, quite a few of the Aeroworks Ultimates had a failure of the top wing. There used to be a long thread on the subject over on RCU, I believe.
