TBM magic hand 30% yak

[MarkF]

Here are a few pics of my latest project. I'm running a Neu 1521 3d 6.7 gearbox, 12s 5000 thunderpower lipos and an apc 25 X 12.5 prop. Around 85 amps and 18.2 lbs ready to fly. I only have 1 flight on the plane so far but it seems to be a winner. The plane is built very nice and the price is right. I changed out the 2 elevator servos in the tail to 1 pull pull 5955 servo. This made balancing the plane easier and saved a little weight. I hope to have some video soon.

Nice elevator modification, very clean looking.

Mark,

Two of my club mates have this yak, both running DL-50s and one has the magic hand Sukhoi running a DA-50. Excellent flight characteristics and this thing loves to hover. Your AUW is a little heavy above 18 pounds so i want to share their experience.
The landing gear plate will rip out easily if you land a little heavy. all three have had to re-glue theirs now atleast once and one having to re-glue it twice. so make sure with your AUW you grease every landing. Other than that, you'll love this plane!
Cheers!

Thanks for the tip. I did read that somewere and I have already glued some extra wood in this area.

I got a few more flight on my plane now. The castle 85 wasn't enough so I put a spin 99 in. I ran it with the apc 25 X 12 prop and got 74 amps with my clamp on meter and got 74 amps with the spins on board meter. This prop works very well. Then I tryed a Vess 26B prop and got 72 amps on my meter and 90 amps with the spins. This prop has a little less speed but boy its a stump puller for sure. I really like this prop and I think you guys swinging the 25 x 12 prop can probably swing this one as well if not than the 26A would work.

[MarkF]

The rudder arm comes in the kit but you have to buy the gold hub seperate from airwild.
