Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up having to adjust the linkages so I could run 0 trim on the radio. Fixed it right up.

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
I was gonna suggest that also but figured you already covered that base. Funny sometimes how much 1mm off throws things off and sometimes it doesn't matter. Just never know.
So what do you think of the plane?

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
Like it quite a bit. Once the trim issue was cleared up flies great.

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
Got a couple flights in this weekend. Traveling so much I forget what I was going to adjust from last flights. Guess I'd better start writing things down. Thought I had fixed my trim issue and on my YAK thought I had the servos going the right way. Duh!!!

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
That's a real shame about the Yak! I hope you can get it sorted.
The Visionaire...is that the same one that you crashed while you were here? Looks to be flying really well. Nice job, Ken!

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
For the VisionAire I had a pair of dinged up wings and bought a new bottle of CA and glued the nose back together. I always use quick set spray and make sure it's perfect before I spray it. New prop and prop adaptor.
Yak 54 3x
I forced myself to watch the Horizon Hobby Video on programming the AR635. Between the manual and watching I was able to get the receiver back to default and then I just checked all the AS3X directions and she is ready to fly. Of course leaving town tomorrow morning and won't be back till next weekend or maybe the following.

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
That's really good, Ken! You're still doing really well with the Visionaire and that new Yak behaves very well in the air. Great flights!!!

Re: Ken's Flight Log Airplanes
Thanks Tony. Grass was deep and damp. I also think I let up on the elevator way too soon, didn't hurt anything. All the same I'd rather set her down a little nicer. Not real happy with the landing gear.
