My friend bought Extreme Flight 47 inch Yak-54 , he ask me to build this nice ARF for him. I was curious to look how quick i can build it, since Extreme Flight planes are top notch when it come to kit quality and flying characteristics i suspect it will be super fast. Here is first view right after i open box:

Technical spec's:

Wingspan, 47.5 inch ( 119cm)
Fuselage lenght 43.25 inch (108.1cm)
Wing area 425 sq/in
Weight with battery 38-40 oz (1064-1120g) according by EFrc.

Equipment i will use:

Motor: Torque 2814/820
ESC: Airboss Elite 45
Battery: Flight power EVO20 3S 2500mah
Servos: HS65hb all around.
Prop: APC 14x7E

Weight:

Same as Vanquish Yak is also buildet wisely, i can see it is super light weight airframe because of many lightening holes in its wooden construction. Material for most of plane construction is hi quality balsa and 2mm plywood. Hatch is attached with 4 magnets, it hold very good, and when you open it you get very good access to all equipment inside fuselage. First thing i want to know is weight of each detail, so here it is:

Left wing: 67.4g
Right Wing: 68.5g
Cockpit: 79.0g
L.Aileron: 19.7g
R.Aileron: 19.3g
Stabilizer and elevator: 28.0g
Rudder: 17.3g
Fuselage: 223.5g
Carbon wing tube: 17.g
Cowling: 63.1g
Landing gear: 33.5g
Wheel pants: 8.2g

----------------------

Total parts weight: 644,5g (~23oz) + hardware 47.2g (1.6oz).

Beveling tool

Friday, 13 July 2007

I mentioned that i will show "Know how" tricks in near future, so here it is very useful tool for foam planes builders Beveling tool. With it you can easily make even good looking 45 degree angle cut outs on ailerons, elevator, rudder and torque box lines. It is very easy to build and use.

Here is items you will need to build this tool:

3 ore 6mm balsa sheet ( depending on what thickness depron you will use).
Sharp shawing blade, as you see yu will have two parts from one blade.
Balsa stick ~10x10mm
Jigsaw for 45degree balsa stick cutting.
Template for 45 degree cutting ( it also can be 60 degree, its dfeppend of what your needs is).
CA gluess.

Pulse AM video!

Monday, 02 July 2007

Hello dear visitors, affter long brake i present new video with my last year F3P-a plane Pulse. This time it is aeromusical improvisation in "Europe young scientist contest 2007" in Vilnius with indoor pattern plane Pulse. I knew flying space will be pretty small so i pick this slow plane and smooth/slow music.
