Guys try Foam Tac also. Used Welders a lot but Foam Tac stays more flexible and doesn't discolor. Made by Beacon. Available at several sources.

Yes Ive seen that too..... I was thinking I may use that on my next one if I get a next one, I just used what they used since I didn't see Foam Tac until after I built mine but I didn't have any experience with it so that's why I didn't say anything about it.... I try to talk about stuff I have experience with.... Thanks dth7!

Oh, there will be a "next one" silly. Just a suggestion I learned this past year. Saw it at Toledo show last year.
Have fun.

Crack Yak arrived. I am going to let the hinges sit with weight on them until I get home from work tomorrow night. Then I will start the build. The only thing I do not have yet is a JST connector for the ESC. And a charge lead with a JST connector for my charger. All my other batteries have Deans connectors on them but the smaller JST look best for a small application like this.

I love my 39" crack yak! Mine is the one [MENTION=3014]AKfreak[/MENTION] built in the build thread. It is still flying perfectly despite a few hard knocks :D

Crack Yak is coming along. Waiting for lower vert fuse to dry before flipping it over to work on the top. crackyak1.jpg
