40% Pilot Yak 5-6 lb's Lighter
Started to setup my spare Pilot Yak, Going with my trusty DA 150 instead of ZDZ 210 and will use standard cans, That will save me 4 lb's, I'll be using 4 ail. servos instead 6 and 2 ele. servos compared to 4, that will save another lb.
Some small items, like no pilot less batt and wiring, and less prop 32-12 three blade going to 32-10 two blade, so 5 lb's defiantly hoping for 6lb's This is a huge plane, the wing loading should be awesome  With my ZDZ overall weight is 48 lb's. So a DA 150 will be good for power to weight at 42-43 lb's

Re: 40% Pilot Yak 5-6 lb's Lighter
Thanks for the inspiration Dale, Got the ele. ail. and throttle servos in and covering tightened up.
Fire wall in, and I opened up the cowel intake cooling, I find it kinda small, and hey, I knocked off more weight LOL. I like the twin fibreglass twin horns in this ARF, they get epoxied in.

Re: 40% Pilot Yak 5-6 lb's Lighter
I sure hope the weather is good in the east, for you Hank.
Let us know how it feels compared to your ZDZ 210 job. -Dale- . 100% free webcam site! | Awesome chicks and it is absolutely free! | Watch free live sex cam - easy as 1-2-3

Re: 40% Pilot Yak 5-6 lb's Lighter
Today will be 6 degrees and sunny, yesterday we had some snow, Monday will be 11 go figure.
Good enough to get out there. I'll try and get some video.

Re: 40% Pilot Yak 5-6 lb's Lighter
Go hard, (to hell with good luck) enjoy the day. Video would be great a photo, with you and your Yak is always welcome. Capture the smile, for all to see.
