I've heard Comp-Arf picked up their finish quality the last few years. Now we all know it's true.

Very nice Trevor, you will enjoy!!

I'm not sure if they did or not, but the only -ve's so far are "shine" and "seam" and I can easily live with both!!!! In fact, tonight, I'll be putting on a coat of wax!!!

Coat of wax has been applied!!! What a difference - very nice and shiny!!! It almost seemed to have an oxidation on the surface and it even feels waaaay better now!!!

And the roulette table spins again, as Bdegan would say!!

After having a taste of 3D again with my ex-43%, I've decided to put a DA100L in this CompArf and get it flying in the next couple of weeks.

The plan is to go back to the original plan and do a BBT Custom Carden Yak with the Moki 150!!

I'll change the build title soon!!!

Re: BBT 2.6m CompArf Yak55 / MOKI 150 Radial Build Thread
I've read that with a hard-enough landing, it's possible to tweak the fuse and cause damage to the mounting system (usually starts to crack where the legs go through the fuse sides).

To prevent this, I took about 3 hours out of the build and stiffened this whole area up My goal, using lots of CF is to distribute the point lots into the shell, which is ultra-strong.

* On the inside of the fuse, I laminated some CF weave around the bottom and installed 3/8" diameter CF tubes to send the stresses to the shell.

* Inside the canister tunnel, I did the same thing and also installed a 3/8" CF tube that transfers load into the motorbox dome
