    QQ Special Edition 102" Yak 54. My first Yak and it flies great! Nice and slow down lines and almost axial aileron rolls :) It has the gear from the Extra in it. That 106 CS is turning into a monster! I fly the whole Basic routine at about 2/3 throttle with no trouble at all.

    Got a picture from a friend that was at the field last night for the maiden and also took a picture after putting the White Rose Wheels on the Yak :)

    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    Went out and maidened a new to me QQ 102" Yak. It flew like a dream. I have Savox 1256 servos in the wings and elevators, 7955 on the rudder and a 5645 on the throttle. A 3W 106CS under the hood swinging a Falcon 28x9. What a nice flying plane! Feels totally locked on. Snaps stop instantly and...

    That perfect plane...

    I guess the one plane that I could fly blindfolded was a ScatCat with a 32 on a pipe! That plane was a blast! I flew it so much I elongated the wing pin holes. Finally after 12 years and 3 piston and sleeves, I let it go. My latest go to plane is my 42% Pilot Edge 540 with a 3W-150 TOC on...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    I didn't don anything in the shop last night. Went to Buffalo Wild Wings with my wife and oldest daughter :) Then we came home and stupid me picks up the post hole digger, as if I didn't get enough of it over Labor Day weekend. 11 4x4 posts 24" deep in soil that turns to shale at 18 to 20" for...

    Prop bolts....what's the consensus?

    I use the Nord lock on muffler bolts and prop bolts. Haven't had one back out yet that was properly tightened :)

    Better to extend and save your plane then become a pile of sticks :)

    SOLD! 2 Airtronics 8 ch 92824 RX's - $100 - Price Lowered!

    I have 2 brand new, never opened Airtronics 8 ch 92824 RX's that I am selling. I purchased these for a second plane that never materialized, so my loss is your gain. I am asking $100.00 for the pair, shipped in the continental U.S. via priority USPS. PM me if you have any questions.

    Starting Your Plane by Yourself, 60ccc or Larger

    I don't know about everyone else, but I always make sure the throttle moves both directions before I even start to flip the prop. That is the one thing that scares the crap out of me, is the thought of the 150 starting full throttle! I trust my hold down and whoever I have hold the plane if it...
