Resurrection Aeroworks 85cc Yak

All the structural repairs are done with exception of one. The one being a spot near the tip of the wing on the leading edge, it look's like someone grabbed it real hard and bent/ buckled the sheeting a little. For now I am going to leave it be because, if I like the airframe, some time in the near future I will re-cover it.

@acerc what is the plane in the background. I might try an Imac competition for the first time using my Yak in a couple weeks.

@Yakman, that is an EMHW Challenger II going to be a Bulldog II scheme.

And hopefully I'll get back to it soon. I have been adding a stick here and there, finished the top right wing, nearly done with the left.

The covering is on, now to install all the electronics and engine.

There was not much to re-cover. Currently making up the servo extensions.

Be careful with that Miracle switch. I had one fail just at over the top of a humpty bump. Cost me an airplane no ignition, no radio nothing straight as an arrow into the ground. A solder connection on the back of the switch broke loose.

I had one of those double switches on my profile and the wires are super soft and broke apart, about an inch from thr connection points. I figure it was a miracle it happened on the ignition instead of radio. I won't buy another.

I agree with the old style but now they put a cover to support the connection. The old style I would use dielectric silicon to shore it up, but, haven't seen one of those in a couple years.

Yup I used Goop to re-inforce another one I have in use..
