RE: Fuel Injected 2-Stroke?
The 71 series is still in use in the marine industry, don't know if they are still making them but a lot of them around. A few 53's here and there. 71's are popular to drive barge pumps and also as engines for small tugs. Loudest engines I have ever worked with.

RE: Yellow Aircraft Sukhoi
My manuel makes no reference to the type of servo's. I called Yellow Aircraft and they said the CG should be 4 1/4 to 4 1/2 so I'm a little tailheavy. I'll have to move things around a bit. I'm putting a YS 160 in the nose and Hitec 5985's on all surfaces, Hitec mini on throttle mounted inside engine box.

RE: YAK vs. Sukhoi?
The Yaks have the wing and stab on line with engine thrust line. On the Sukhoi, the wing is below engine thrust and the stab is above engine thrust line. The Sukhoi is very similar to the Cap232.

RE: Yellow Aircraft Sukhoi
I have the same Fun-Key Sukhoi sold by Yellow Aircraft, 72.5" wingspan. The instructions have the CG at 4 1/4 to 4 1/2. The airplane balances at 5". Was the recommended CG changed at some point ? I'm a little afraid to fly it at 5" as it may be tail heavy.

RE: new extreme flight rc 88" yak too heavy??
MMOOSE - 1. It is my opinion. 2. Extreme Flight doesn't offer hundreds of different airframes. 3. You will never see a TOC 30% Yak come in at the manufacter's suggested RTF weight of 16 lbs. You'll be lucky to get the RTF weight below 19 lbs. after you have purchased carbon fiber everything to lighten it!

There are no better, or lighter airframes than those offered by Extreme Flight, period! If you want to be disapointed get a TOC Yak, now thats an overweight piece of crap!!

RE: YS CLUB
If you are going to use the spinner supplied with the LT, check the balance first. Mine was so badly out of balance I discarded it.

Regulator and valve adjustment
Hello Dave, I'm looking over my new 160 and noticed the face of the regulator screw is not flush with the regulator body. Is the 160 different or should I adjust so that the screw is flush ? Also, the engine arrived with the exhaust valve set at .002 and the intake valve set at .000, piston at TDC on the compression stroke. I should set both valves at .002 right ?

YS 170
I recently recieved a coupon for half off a YS engine and I have a couple of questions. 1) Do you know when the 170 will be available ? 2) Will the 160 still be offered after the 170 comes out or will it be discontinued ?

RE: Aeroworks vs Aviation Models YAK54 / Da 50 vs 3W 55i questions
17 pounds my foot, you'll be lucky if the Aviaiton Models comes in at 19 pounds with the DA-50 and the lightest gear you can find !! QQ Yak is at least 2 pounds lighter and is better built. Aviation Models has issues with gear mount also.

RE: YAK 54 TOC1
My field is exactly 6' above sea level, DA-50 is well broken in and runs strong. I think you just don't want to admit that Aviation Models cheated you as well as everybody else with the 16 pound claim. If you look at the website right now it still states 16 pounds, not approx. 16 pounds. I seriously doubt that anyone has one that weighs 16 pounds or even 17. The 16 pound claim is a marketing stategy and everyone needs to know that it's just that.

RE: YAK 54 TOC1
Did anyone run into a huge weight problem with this plane? Mine is on the heavy side of 19 pounds fully fueled and ready to fly. Definately not the 16 pound plane advertised on the Aviation Models website. DA-50 is ok if your not into aerobatics, but not enough if you are. I doubt the plane will handle a larger engine for any lenghth of time considering the quality of the wood, the cheap chinese glue and the added weight of a larger engine. There is no way I could have made this plane lighter without weakening the structure. I used carbon gear, carbon tailwheel, lightweight wheels, 16 oz tank, carbon spinner and prop, Fromeco batteries and regs. Even after spending the extra money on all the lightweight gear I still have an overweight pig of an airplane on my hands. 16 pounds my a**

The area I live in switched to E85 or 15% ethanol. How will this effect the fuel line, stopper, gaskets and o-rings, operation of my DA-50 ? Also, is ethanol hydroscopic ?

RE: YAK 54 TOC1
Please post your CG's. I noticed a few mentions of CG's ranging from 6 to 7 inches in the previous threads. Mine came out to 7 1/4. It's probably flyable but maybe a little touchy.

Royal Evo 9 discontinued ?
I placed an order 3 weeks ago for the Multiplex Royal Evo 9 synthesized Tx/Rx combofrom Tower Hobbies. My order was placed on backorder until early March. Today I checked the status of my order and was told by customer service that the Royal Evo 9 has been discontinued and I should select a different brand of transmitter. What gives ? Did Tower Hobbies suddenly stop carrying Multiplex radios or did Multiplex stop manufacturing the Royal Evo line ?
