I worked several hrs last night, looking back I got very little done but today is a new day, Im off and its nasty out so I will get work done today. So I went over all the glue joints I could get to with CA, this is habit from other builds not sure that I have ever prevented a crash from failure by doing this but I can tell you I have never had mid flight failure, not sure that the yak even needed this the glue joints are fairly good. I used 30min epoxy to glue the rudder servo mount in and clamped it to dry. I really did not like the 89 slick at first that this is replacing but I did fall for that fat girl and it sucks to have to strip parts from It . The stabs are really close in size to the 89 stabs I can only hope it will fly as good. It took a while to get the servos moved over and the SWBs mounted but I did it right and then programed center and the end points lol, I think I got a little dysfunctional matching the servos but it is done and I took a break and caught a late night movie and a drink to clear my mind.

Servo mounting completed this took time as I played around with the Geo and attempted to get all the throw I could and keep arms short 1.5 ailerons 2" elevators, I was able to get 60deg on the tail and 55deg on the ailerons should work out ok. Stock DLE stand offs were 0.47" too long so I used SWB's to get the proper mount, I have used stone pain in the past to coat the motor box but the last build I tried finishing resin I liked the way it turned out so that was the approach used on the Yak. Added a lil bling to side of the motor box only for the fact that I can LOL. Motor is bolted down now washers had to be trimmed for clearance on the bottom bolts. Throttle servo is mounted, I will add that this was the easiest throttle servo set up I have ever done, straight forward.
