RE: Pull pull help needed
What will keep your cables tighter than any thing is to have the pivot point of the control horn connection right on the hinge line and then use a servo arm that will have exactly the same width as the rudder horns. I cross or don't depending on the angle I need to get on the cables so they don't rub the fuselage at entry point.

I've use the 5" with a lightened backplate on a DA-150, the spinner is great and way cheaper. I've got a three blade on the way.

RE: spinner balancing
To dynamic balance you need to be able to work in multiple planes (not airplanes) and balance to a rpm you have selceted that is best for your part and your balancer is capeable of running at. Don't know of any cheap model balancers that will fit the bill.

This past weekend was the Polar Bear IMAC here in the North West, my first try in Sportsman. The WH had 16 flights before the contest. I finished 5th out of 11 in Sportsman and won the Seniors. The plane is flying good. and I had a lot of people stopping to tell me how good it looked.

Smart-Fly EQ-10 or 6 is great for setting up surfaces with multiple servos, make sure and get a SF fiber optic kill switch also, everything else you mentioned is the best.

RE: 41% extra
I maiden mine today and it flew really well. Not one click of anything for straight and level flight. It seems to pull left on up-lines and I'm thinking maybe a washer or extra right thrust. DA-150 on cans, pull pull with 2 - 7955's and one per elevator half and I had to use the rear wing tube to balance.

RE: 41% extra
I thought I was close to flying my Extra and I picked the plane up and just broke the bottom, obviously I lifted in the wrong spot. I was supprised by how weak the bottom is. Has this been normal or am I just clumsy.

RE: Pull - Pull or Direct Connect??
Me and a buddy use that SWB rudder tray which will still work if a servo craps out. He just maidend his new 40% Cardon with rudder servos in the tail and one servo locked up causing the plane to veer left and he ended up damaging the plane upon landing. Wouldn't of happened with SWB tray and he's thinking of switching.

With a DA-150 and KS cannisters are most people using the rear wing tube. I'm going with pull pull and 2 servos for the rudder, 1 servo each elevator and 2 in each aileron. One receiver and 2 - 5200 li-ion batteries for flight pack and an EQ-10.

Full charge li-ion
I have read that you've said it's OK to use unregulated 7.4 battery on 7955. With a full charge my li-ion's have 8.4 volts and come down to 7.2 where I re-charge. Is that OK un-regulated on 7955's. Thanks Bill

RE: Extreme Flight 110" 100cc Yak 54 Build!
Myself and two buddies have 35% Yaks with DA-100's, one has stock mufflers, one is running KS cannisters and the other MTW cannisters. All three fly with 28 x 10 props and turn 6200 - 6400 rpm. I can't tell the difference between the sword and the Mejzlik, I have run both. There is also a 35% Extra at our field with a DA-100 and it also uses a 28 x 10 Mejzlik.

Not as much vertical and not as quick responding. The Swords are painted and look good as well. I like the 28" prop's better than 27 inchers.

RE: DA100 or DA85 in Aviationmodels Yak 35%
I'm flying a SD-35% Yak with a DA-100 on cannisters and it's perfect. I have two buddies that were flying 33% planes, one Extra and one Sukoi, with the DA-85 and they both had problems with the 85 beating it's self to death. Several trips back to DA for repairs for each engine. Power was never the problem, that engine may have has much power as a 100, but from what I've seen they are hard on themselves. My DA-100 is the older heavier model.

DD divide your mm measurement by 25.4 to get correct inches. You don't want to hang a 100CC motor more than an inch with just standoffs alone.

What size servo arms 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 Most likely IMAC only no 3D or very little What size rudder bell crank for pull pull and is it straight or offset and do the cables cross Will a DA-150 be plenty or should I step up for a 170 (probably going to use Grieves pipes) Thanks Bill
