Looks good to me!


Looks good to me too!

I decided to go "bare" with the wires. You know ...... Artistic Nudity.....

Wing mostly finished. Working on the ailerons now. Going with HS-65’s all around to save a couple of ounces on the Mojo25.

Mojo is looking good. If you don’t already have the servos then think about just using the tower pro 9grams. Way cheaper and are lighter too. I have used them in planes this size before with no problems. Stripped a couple on rudders but that’s do to cart wheeling the planes.

Well boys have the 20 cc edge on the workbench and keep looking at it. Here I am looking at a finished, flying aeroplane and thinking of stripping it down and trying to rebuild it to make it lighter so that it flys better. ( Hopefully)

Atta boy. Don't rest on your laurels.

Thx! Good info to know on the alternate servos. I do have some HS-65’s lying around looking for a home. The HS-85’s seem to be overkill on this w electric, can’t speak for glow.

Yeah I was going to suggest some of the power HD servos I’m running in my 35” Cap I’m flying but they seem to not be sold anymore.

I allowed the wife to use my hobby room for Christmas tubs while she was setting up for Christmas... so that took me out of any work for a while. Now there are enough tubs put back away that I can work again, finally! This weekend, I will finish stripping the adhesive part of some really old covering from my buddy’s 20cc Pitts. I am heating it up with the heat gun and using packing tape to get it off. It is about the 4th technique I’ve tried and is working by far the best. I should have heated up the covering before trying to it off in the first place... that would have saved me ALL this headache.

But, I do have this ready to start as soon as those wings are done! I am not super impressed with the Uproar’s flying characteristics. I thought it would be way more “Uproar”ish... so I will be taking all the “guts” out of that and putting them in this!

Just got my engine back from Tom at VVRC. Time to get busy on the little Yak. Plugged the holes in the firewall and the rudder is hinged.
