5. This one

CARF's Claim
With your CARF-Models Yak 2.1m, you can laugh about that. There is no way to see any fatigue even after 100s of flights, if you look just a little bit at your plane from time to time. The whole full-composite structure is so stiff and strong, that it really resists the vibrations. Forever.

PS
my colour scheme is blue, orange too looks gorgeous

Gusty da seems 'Inflation proof'!! with Dollaran touching INR 53 (including conversion/commission ), I am putting my RC buying for Christmas low! But Gusty sir rock!!
Have a great Christmas sir!!!

Gusty with 5 Yaks.... ........getting too YAKish .........

should maiden by Xmas (Carol group may take some time away from the hobby)

Second one in a Row, you seem to be in a PJ Mood today

Gutsy sir
can you just post some more pics of your Yak from Rc bazaar
and also please suggest means to convert this from electric to glow
http://www.rcbazaar.com/products/631-yak-54.aspx

and any idea on conversion of this

http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6506

I will, conversion to glow should be easy, get a variable mount (it is longer) from the cowl to firewall length and the thust line got to match. She is naturally tail heavy , so you can easily mount a 46 size glow. Bring fuel tank closer to cg. Variation of cg with and without fuel is quite a bit if you mount the tank traditionally, rest , like I told you , tele help.
Cessna looks flimsy to me, yak is fibre glass body and balsa wing, very sturdy machine.

need some suggestions for the servos,Not Grupner very expensive for the performance JR 8711 or Futaba S9351 is on my mind, cheaper better solution anyone

Gusty

Check out the "Bluebird" servos from HK. They are made in Taiwan. I have used their high speed and high torque servos and found them to be exceptional and an absolute bargain when you look at the pricing.

Great bird

Hi

Please consider Hitec 7955TG. It is a very good servo for 50cc planes. I have used them in my 50cc for a Year now.

Cheers

i was even looking at SANWA SDX-722 HI-Torque Coreless Digi Servo,

Thanks Asupan, iam using 7955 TG on my Adrenaline 120, good servo
Sushil Sir

http://www.rcindia.org/for-sale-completed/brand-new-hd-ds120m-servos-for-sale/msg64496/#msg64496

Laxman could have walked away with it, i forgot completely that i had transferred the money to him, to your integrity, some people need to learn this from you laxman, thanks buddy

will your Yak be like this ??

much smaller, all hardware is here, waiting for Tygon and Dubro tank

What is the size of Dubro tank you want ? Along with that you would be needing a Dubro gas conversion stopper. The link is mentioned below http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXD755&P=7
Also what size Tygon you want ?
If you are in a hurry I can send you, and once you get these items, then you could replace it to me.
Regards,
Jamal Ahmad.

Jamal
Will PM. Thanks a million. i bought it from ebay.com. hasnt reached yet, initiated refund

It a very nice airplane, and quite simple to built and setup. But flys very well. What engine and electronics have you got in lined for this model ?

Jamal,
1.Engine and etc Rep #1
2. Servo Mi Digital High Torque Metal Gear Servo JR/Hitec 11.8kg / 0.07 / 61g. This is a super fast servos, borders on clairvoyance (Had hard time deciding between reliability and speed so bought both, deciding to go with magnetic induction servos)
3. looking for Dubro #424 tank with the gas stopper.

4. CF Tail wheel set is here, will start the basic build soon.

Will send you the tank, gas conversion stopper and the Tygon fuel tubing tomorrow morning. Also will send you the tracking details.

Thanks a million, Jamal, Micro Balloons, Milled Glass Fibre landed in the morning and that makes her complete, build and log starts tomorrow.

Hi rcpilotacro,

Have you finished building the Yak or the build stalled due to some reason? I am putting together mine and is close to finish.

BTW, great site and forum. I am glad to be here.

Cheers,
Salam

Finally iam going to embark on this project, servos switches, batt tank, all done. This one is going to be slow

Servos are  Hitec 5565 Super High Torque Servos i have the option of 7955 TG / MG for Rudder




Fromeco Wolverine Switch and Super Sahara Regulator



and the beauty

So this is the pstn you are making Gusty 

Nice !!!!!. Eagerly waiting for the 20 CC now this 50CC Yak too. 

I took you a while to bring that baby on the bench.

I built mine last summer, flew for a while and than someone at my flying field got interested in her. Sold it to the guy who is now a happy owner of it.

It flew very well. I had the following into it.

DLE 55 with Bowman ring upgrade on a stock muffler
 Hitech 7955TG on the controls while Hitec 7950TH on the rudder.
 Hitec 5625MG (high speed digital) on throttle
 SWB 2" servo arms all around
 Smart Fly Sport Plus (power distribution system) with pin/flag failsafe switch
 Smart Fly ignition regulator
 Fromeco Relion (2600mah) batteries (2 on the Smart Fly and one on the ignition)
 High quality extension wires
 Fortitude RC 16oz gas tank and smoke oil tank with Sullivan skywriter smoke pump
 
The kit does not come with main wheels, tail wheel assembly and also does not come with a spinner. So got 4" Sullivan Skylite wheels, a nice quality CF tail wheel assembly and a 4" CF spinner.

I ran a build log for it and had many build photos. Let me know if you are interested and I will be happy to post them here.

Here are some photos when I had it. Also flew it at an airshow.

The guy who bought it from me decorated it pretty heavily. Here are some photos of it if you are interested.

Thanks Salam for the pics, looks cool, i got #424 Dubro tank, 4" Dubro wheels, GP Tail Wheels, and of course batt same as your Fromeco, i am planning to go directly to the High Voltage Rx skipping powerbox. your Thoughts

Gusty Let me know when you need a helping hand with the built  of this beauty.

today !! not gone to guwahati

Thank you. You should be fine with your electronics and the setup you are planning to put in a place. Try to implement a dual battery redundant setup for the rx. A cheap insurance and will give you peace of mind. I go with the Smart Fly mainly for the battery redundant setup and servo matching for my bigger planes with multiple servos on a single surface.

Go Gusty Go ..... this is gonna be a Home Run !!!

Salam
Closest is Art Tech hobbies, i was looking at it for a long time, split between PowerBox and SmartFly, some buddies from US suggested SmartFly, how is art tech hobbies ? any clue


Thanks Divay, thanks a ton, was trying to get in touch with Jamal, no joy, do remember him too

To all and Sundry

Salam is a well know flier and an Administrator at RCPAK a well known rc forum of pakistan. Didnt realize, just next door RC is so active, there are four well known clubs and , north to south guy fly around in weekends

Sir how many total servos this model uses? Nd you were talking about high voltage receiver which is that?

I haven't seen the Art Tech Hobbies distribution board. Do they make one?

I have seen one from Hobby King sold as a Turnigy brand. Must by some kind of a copy of the Smart Fly Sport Plus.

http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25189__Turnigy_Min_Power_Distributor_UBEC_Yellow_.html

I have used the Powerbox Royal in my 35% Dalton Extra 260 for sometime.... one of my friend here is building a Don Smith B-24 (146") Liberator so I gave that to him since it was an overkill for a 100CC. I went with Smart Fly EQ6. They both work the same thing where the Powerbox has an edge over the Smart Fly boards because the Powerbox also supports dual receiver redundant systems as well where it will hop on between the two receivers. The downside is that it is a little pricey.

Thank you for your kind note. I am honored to be part of RCIndia. I have been a member here for sometime and love to read all the hobby related stuff happening here. Clubs in the big cities in Pakistan have been organizing country wide funflys and competitions similar to IMAC and Freestyle. How wonderful it would be to have hobbyists from both countries fly together during a funfly or a competition.

Five high torque and one for the throttle

R 6208SB RX, i also have the option of This Frsky High Voltage RX



indeed !! shouldn't it be part of aman ki aasha

Your Fromeco Wolverine Switch also has the dual battery redundant option so you can use that without bothering of going with any power distribution system and in case of all HV setup and if you really want to keep things plain simple, plug in two rx batteries into your Futaba 6208SB since it is also a HV receiver.

Hi Gus,

Any update on your build? Okay let me encourage you with these to speed up. 

Enjoy!

A couple more.

All the best while you are changing locations.
