Hi Folks,

I just completed the decals of my new foamy 30inch Profile Yak 54. Planning to put the following setup:

Motor : CF 2822 1200KV Brushless Outrunner
ESC : HobbyKing SS 25 AMPS
Battery : Turnigy 1300 Mah 3 Cell Lipo 20C
Servos : HXT 900 9g Servos X 4
Receiver : Assan X8 6 Channel Full Range
Propellor : Either a GWS 8040 or 9045 or 10X5 (will experiment with all)

Note: All decals cut and pasted by hand... No Plotter cutting.  Grin

extremely neat, is the batt too far forward ? just a passing thought, i love the wing skid being used as a vortex gene (VGs) the angle too is nice, reminds Addition X, sure she will fly great
PS

Thanks Augustinev. Thanks for your compliments. The battery is way too forward to balance the CG. Done purposely. Be assured this is not bought as kit or RTF.  Grin It is made by hand from SCRATCH. Attached is the plan for the same. I have put the skids in the VORTEX arrangement, though not sure how would it behave in the air. Just hoping it might add some difference. Smiley

Thanks Ashish. Not to worry on the motor mount. I am pretty sure it is strong enough to support the model.  Smiley Will try to see you this sunday to maiden her. Please get your Camera.

Cheers !!!

Hi Atul,

Thank for the compliments.

Are you referring to the color tape ?? If so, its vinyl tape red color and yellow color, commonly available with radium sticker shops.
The other thing is the wing skids available from HK.

Thanks Rohit.
Applying the decals is easy... just stick from one end and level it out evenly to the other end.. That does the job, no rocket science. Smiley

Hi Saurabh,

Very impressed with the neat work.
 
I was just going to search for this plan of YAK 54  or extra 300 to be built in foam.

If you would mind ,i too want to build the same foamy model.Can you further help me on this

I will be arranging for the foam & also will enlarge the drawing on a A3 SIZE paper.

Can you suggest me the step wise process to build this model.This would be my first EP model in foam.

Looking for your Video

regards
peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your compliments.

I have attached the plan in one of my earlier posts. I am attaching the same with this post as well.

Please let me know what help you are seeking. I would be glad to help you. Smiley

Here are the logical steps that I followed:

1.) Take the prints on A4 sheets (16 pages in all)
2.) Stick the sheets together to make the plan. (Used Scotch Magic Tape)
3.)Once the plan is ready, cut the pieces from the plan (like the fuselage, wings H.Stab etc.)
4.) Stick the cut pieces to the foam (using magic tape) and cut the foam into shape.
5.) Once the foam is cut, you are ready for the build.
6.) Assemble the foam and glue it together with Foam safe Glue. (You can even use Hot Glue, but it adds weight)
7.) Now you need to taper the edges (@ 45 deg) of the surface areas to which the control areas will stick. Use a medium grit sandpaper to do that.
8.) Also taper the edges of the ailerons, ele, and rudder that will stick to the surface areas.
9.) Then you can stick the control areas to the surface areas. (I used the Fibre tape and Hinge. You can see in the pics)
10.) Once this is done, your model is ready for electronics.
11.) Mount the "Motor Mount" first. I used Hot Glue to stick the mount to the fuselage and then screwed in the motor mount using 1.5 inch long machine screws. Install the motor.
12.) Now install the servos. I used Hot Glue again to stick the servos to the wings.
13.) Install the Control horns to the control areas. (Again, I used Hot glue to reinforce)
14.) Install the Push rods (Here I used Cycle Spokes, though they are a bit heavy but much easy to install than Carbon rods)
15.) Install the Receiver and set the servos to neutral.
16.) Then connect the push rods to the servos using 2mm "pushrod connectors".
17.) Install the decals.
18.) Dry fit the battery and check the CG.
19.) Install the battery as it would set the CG to the desired position.
20.) Your model is ready to fly.


All this sounds easy, but takes a lot of time Smiley
All the best... Thumbs Up

Cheers !!!

Just we few question if you don't mind.

a) can you advose me the correct name of this foam ?

b) what thickness sheet is required,need to check whether its available in Goa

c) For hot glueing different part  ,can I use is silicon tube ? what your suggestion.

6.) Assemble the foam and glue it together with Foam safe Glue -Is this rubber solution FEVICOL SR 998(Foam safe Glue),can you advose the name  or  brand will also help.

9.) Then you can stick the control areas to the surface areas. (I used the Fibre tape and Hinge. You can see in the pics)-Fibre tape ,Any specific Brand -my be not available in Goa.

All instruction are great
