    Sport The Behemoth Yak gets a Behemoth Brother/129" Pilot Yak (2)

    I think I wound up with about 2.5 degrees of right thrust and 0 degrees of down thrust on my Edge, if that's any helping hand.

    Nope, the top section doesn't do anything, the cowl has it's own support ring and the front of the hatch will still key into the remainder of the first former. All components have their own structural support.

    This engine has been lacking on power for as long as I've had it. It's very evident when compared to my new DA120, this is an old V1 engine. It's possible that it's just worn out, it's got probably more than 1000 flights on it (some 3-400 of those are by my own hand). Since I didn't have an...

    Well I threatened to send the DA120 from my Yak into DA last weekend, guess it decided it wanted to be sent in all its own :rolleyes:o_O Looks like the gasket on one of the cylinders was leaking slightly, I don't know for how long but it's possible that's causing some power loss. Didn't...

    I think it's just at the discretion of the retailers, in this instance I bought it from Tim at NorthWest RC so he's warrantying it for me since I had the propeller all of 3 days.

    Well I had a blast this weekend. Flew my Edge on Saturday and Sunday, finally getting the thing dial'd into where I want it. The DA120 is ridiculously overpowered for the airplane and the Falcon 28x9.5 prop pulls AWESOME!! I think I'm going to ditch the Pulse 2550 packs in favor of some Pulse...

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

    Had a relatively productive day today since I had the day off. Started with finding my RF7 software this morning and repairing the dongle so it would work again. Then received my new Jeti DPS40 electronic switch later in the day, got to work putting it into my Edge. This should safely provide...

    Well I wanted to fly the Edge again today but to make a long story short, I left my Tx case at the field for the Edge and I had to make an emergency trip out to our vacation home last night to bring my dad a spare key for his truck (2.5 hours away) since his was no longer working. Decided to...

    Well the little changes I made did the trick! She flies AWESOME!! I have a Falcon 28x9.5 propeller coming for it that'll hopefully smooth out the throttle response a little, I have a really deep curve to keep the engine from blasting out of any on the deck maneuvers with the 27x11.

    Well the day finally came, had to let 2 of my airplanes go to a new owner. My 91" Aerobeez Slick 540 and my 70" Aerobeez Slick Pro. The new owner came and picked them up today, completely RTF minus receiver. Had many a fond times with them, but it's time to move onto bigger and better stuff...

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

    Finished the setup on my 2 rudder servos last night. A 3" double and a 1.5" single SWB arm with a link in between the 2 arms. I love it when 2 servos move in perfect synchronicity :epic: And all of this translates to roughly 40 degrees of rudder throw, which I think should be plenty.
