Extreme Flight RC 91" Yak 54 build

Sounds like you have it covered! I've always lived by the motto the simpler the system the less points of failure!

I love the yak's and had a 50cc Yak-54. Nice and floaty! Now the plane is sitting in my bucket of balsa... :facepalm:

But I have a nice 35% Pilot Extra 260 sitting on the bench waiting to be built! :banana:

wow...I've been eyeballing that plane as well...which color scheme suits you?

I HAVE THE 35% Extra 260 Blue/Blk/Silver/White. I will be putting in a V3 DLE-111 I have on the bench as well. Should be a great combo!

Very nice -- something about blue/white/black always looks sweet.

Dan, do you think you'll have the replacement servo in time for a weekend maiden?

He was shipping it Monday, so I'm hopeful. I've already cleared thu/fri nights for the swap.

Great news. Hoping for a easy switch and an fun and successful maiden this weekend!

Thanks! My assumption is that I should be able to pop the arm off the old one, and insert the new one without messing with the cables. Sound right to you?

Yup, that's they way it's gone when I've swapped rudder servos

sweet looking plane and great sounding power combo!

On the lighter side -- since the da-60 standard muffler has a smoke nipple, shouldn't I be putting smoke in the yak? Is there a simple, inexpensive approach to doing this? Any ideas?
