Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Nicely done! Thanks! And, the bright side is that I get to show you a few things about how the plane is built, and also I get to thin CA the hinge balsa blocks. :) This first pic not only shows the materials, design and workmanship, but also probably shows why these wings are 2-1/2 oz heavier than ...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Yeah, sure, blame the monkey.... Thing about Monkey that you have to understand... he's a frustrated builder. Add to that his duties "on the bag" (protecting my Taylormade driver for the last eight years without so much as even looking at a model airplane), and you have a monkey on the lo...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Okay, yeah, so I walk in after dinner and Monkey is all, "Wtf did you do to the plane?!" And, I'm all, "Ah geez, you're kidding me man!" 20150815_192504.jpg So, Monkey says, "What the hell did you do?!" And, I'm all, "What the hell did =you= do?!" 20150815_192...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Okay, the JR servos showed up today. The wing hardware that Aeroworks includes in the QB is in the background. AW gives you steel pushrods with a tool, quality balljoints and quality nuts and bolts. AW uses these pushrods and the plastic Hitec servo arms that come with the Hitec servos with no probl...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Just did a quick google search and only found one 60 minute epoxy: http://www.amazon.com/Loctite-1405603-Fluid-Ounce-Syringe/dp/B001MUM62C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439662052&sr=8-1&keywords=60+minute+epoxy In the Q&A a guy asks how much working time he'll actually have. One guys says ...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
Dropping back a second... I did finally get my hands on some Super Lube! haha I've used this stuff for years (don't say it!), and was glad to get some more vs using Vaseline. Using Super Lube just sounds a lot cooler than using Vaseline! I spread a healthy amount over the hinge knuckle and also work...

Re: Aeroworks QB 150cc YAK 55M
I'd have to say, Jim, if a guy isn't really prep'd and organized... along with being super fast... 30 minute epoxy on the ailerons hinges, both sides at the same time like the manual shows... is a challenge. For doing the aileron and wing at the same time the 45 minute working time gorilla glue you ...
