You see the videos I posted today of my V2, Nice sunny blue skies, only a couple clouds, about a hour after I those videos the storms rolled in...

JettaManDan · 07-21-2011, 07:32 AM

weather has been pretty turbulent here too...now 100+ degrees and "the worst weather i nthe country" according ot a few sources

Firefox got some love last night and is about 60% done..will finish it up this weekend...but no flying till this heat wave passes

Birdkiller · 07-21-2011, 03:12 PM

This is where Im at with the Mig build, not sure how the servos go in....I am assuming I will be cutting a hole for them. Will it be easier to wait until my clevis's, and pushrods arrive to get proper placement??

Yes know my wing support is terribly crookid.....its driving me NUTS!!! It should still do the job but i cant stand to look at it!!!

OK never mind..I cant get the picture to load.

I'll email it to Dan and have him post it!

JettaManDan · 07-21-2011, 03:32 PM

JettaManDan · 07-21-2011, 03:34 PM

Birdkiller · 07-21-2011, 04:14 PM

Awesome!! makes much more sense now!

I have a photobucket account i cant remember why but I will try that.

Birdkiller · 07-21-2011, 04:17 PM

Man!!!! That wing support is really killing me!
With my line of work everything HAS to be perfect....so this is really driving me up the wall....I would redo it if i didnt have to remake the bigest piece of the whole project...but there all glued in a everything....I cant believe I didnt notice that last night...

attempt #2 at a delta wing setup:

Birdkiller · 07-21-2011, 08:24 PM

It hard to believe that freakin thing even flies!!!

Birdkiller · 07-21-2011, 08:26 PM

Shadow, we need to make a couple "nose prop" depron planes so we can have dog fights with the streamers....

if there is anything i've learned doing foamies..is that you can make almost anything fly lol!

Birdkiller · 07-22-2011, 09:38 AM

Yeah man I see that!

Hey Dan, not to get premature since my first build isn't done yet.

but what other plans do you have?? Do you have an Extra, or a Yak?

shadow102 · 07-22-2011, 10:00 AM

I think i will be ordering the red eagle EPP Yak-54 from hobby king today, i killed the front of my corsair last night so i am going to hang it up for a little bit until i feel like repairing it.

Cant believe how tough the PZ extra has been though, flew it last night with the 11x7 prop and that thing cuts a big ole hole in the sky at full tilt. Started really practicing landing with some touch and goes...thought i had something going really good and i managed to come down a little off to the side of the runway....some how i caught the only piece of rebar sticking up in the entire gravel area. Nail the wing and put a decent hole in the leading edge. A little fabric tape and its good as new.

Need to get the video of it uploaded its pretty interesting

Yeah man, get that vid up!

I ordered a DW Foamies 38" Yak 54 and the matching motor and esc. Although I got the foam for a scratch build, after looking at this as my first build, the DW Foamy, with all the carbon fibre in the wing attching hardware, and decals instructions and internet building tips seemed like the best way for me to go. I looked at a lot of kit builders and for me, (especially on the West Coast) seemed to have a pretty decent set up.

JettaManDan · 07-23-2011, 06:50 AM

That is a nice kit. Fot that type of plane a pre-fab kit is a great choice...should be a cool build and a great flying plane. Post some pics when you get it!
