Quique's Yak 50cc

[Xavier]

As I mentioned in another post, my kitchen renovation is over so I have been back in the shop to work on airplane projects. That one is the 4th project for this winter. I got it untouched at a good price from a co-member of the club in Lachute with the motor. At this point, I am only missing the radio batterie, ignition batterie and prop before it could fly. All the servos are installed with their linkages and extention. First flight should be in a week or two.

I am looking for a prop for that plane and motor, probably 23x8 or 22x8. I will order one next week if nobody here has one for sell.
Thanks

My friend Robert was planning of electrifying a similar airplane but finally decided to stay with gas so he wants to sell all the electric equipment he has (all new). I have posted an add with the details: http://www.wimac.ca/ppclass/showproduct.php?product=238

If you are interested in electrifying your Yak (witch by the way is a great looking plane) I would be interested in the gas set-up you have.

Xavier, I have the following wood props (drilled the same as DA100 and with a larger center hole ... you will need to modify the holes):

MSC 23x8
MSC 22x10
master airscrew 22x10
master airscrew scimitar profile 22x8

$15 each

SHUT IT!! and fly like you borrowed it!!

Love it!(lol)

Dwight, I am interested specially in the 23x8 and 22x8 but at these prices, I might as well try all of them. I'll send you a message so we could arrange to meet sometime this week.

Michael, thanks for the offer but my friend Robert already tried and I stayed with the DA. I wanted an airplane with that motoro for a long time.

The Yak flew today in Lachute for the first time. The motor was running rich so it wasn't delivering its full power. However I could have an idea of the airplane behavior and for now, it's not what I am looking for. It will need a few adjustements before I think about entering an Imac contest. I think that the CG is too much aft so that sould be easy to fix. But there is more. I will probably fly it again this week.
Thanks to Benoit for the pictures.

Looking good Xavier,
& great shot's Bud!

The Yak flew again today with the CG more forward (radio batterie moved) and it was a lot better. It will need to move even more but I don't know how I will manage that. I don't like adding weight to balance an airplane. My prefered solution would have been to move the elevator servos to the canopie and use pull-pull but that would involved too much work. It would be lighter also. I still have to install the spinner (fwd of the CG) and the pilot (aft of the CG).
