Cut plans for a new yak last night. I need to make some templates since I think I will be making more than one more of these planes. This will probably be my new fly anywhere/anytime plane.

Have slick, batteries, tx, etc. Now I just need time and I'm ready to fly. I need to do some flight testing to see if my new ESC programming has helped with power.

Craig:

When you get that laser cutter cranking them out, let us know! I have some 10 mm EPP that's not cut into anything yet.

I have a SolidWorks Users Group Meeting over lunch today, so I won't be flying till later in the afternoon when the MARS Micro Modelers fly forth from 4:00 to 6:30.

I'll maiden my Radian on Saturday.

brivers · Oct 01, 2009, 09:18 PM

Radian...sweet. I'd be interested to know how it compares to the EZ Glider.

Man.. Maidened my lil' Yak today.. These things are fun..

cmala · Oct 02, 2009, 09:27 AM

Don't put it up in a "regular" combat session. It doesn't last too long.

Tram · Oct 02, 2009, 11:53 AM

YOu found someone to fly combat?

cmala · Oct 02, 2009, 12:02 PM

we had several combat sessions at Hodges over the weekend. The Yak didn't fare to well against the purpose built combat planes.

Bob and I do "hover combat" with the yaks. Basicly just hover close to each other and try to bump and see if we can keep flying.

Tram · Oct 02, 2009, 12:05 PM

Ah yeh, I wouldn't suspect it would hold up well on combat.. The foam is too soft and the airframe is too.. floppy..

cmala · Oct 02, 2009, 12:08 PM

mine is Depron. Not soft or floppy

Tram · Oct 02, 2009, 12:12 PM

Ohhhhh... well then.. what you putting a velo in?
