Haven't seen anyone say too much in the past weeks so anyone have any projects going? What do we have to look forward to seeing at the field this year?

Im getting a new plane tomorrow! An Extreme Flight 58" Extra 330l going to put a Saito 82a and some 30% nitro in it.

Other then that just the same ole stuff I hold dear to my heart

Goin to run 30% in the 74" Yak now also.

So what have you been up to Gene? You got anything new youd like to share?

Hope to be back up that way very soon to fly with you guys again!

well I'm working on putting my trex back together and thinking of what I want to replace the ultra stick 40 with. I'm thinking of a twist 40 that would be pretty good with a that 70 4stroke that was in the stick. I would like to find a yak that the engine would fit in.

Hey Gene. What's up? I despise winter. Well I've got a couple of things going on... A new Trex 500 that I've been messin with around the yard when it's warm, and a VQ warbirds P-40 Warhawk that's waiting for parts. Also I'm in the process of converting the Fliton Extra over to electric.

If you're looking for a Yak for the 70....

Awsome job on the plane mike it looks great can't wait to see it fly. If it ever stops raining

Looks great Mike. I know what ya mean about the rain.
The Chin Yak came in at 4 lbs 11 oz. with my saito 91 on it. No problems at all with balancing. Should be a real power house. No pics yet. Coming soon.

ghudgins · by **ghudgins** on Wed Apr 09, 2008 12:09 am

Yeah that looks really good. Has the little guy been able to ride it yet?

Mike · by **Mike** on Fri Apr 11, 2008 2:01 am

Thanks Guys! Hope to get it up this weekend.
Its really the only new thing I have. Gone are the days of showing up with new planes all the time I guess.

He could ride the 50cc version for sure. He gets on the sim and yanks the sticks around but no solo yet

Curious how that Chinn Yak is goin to perform Kenny.

Hope to get up to the field soon.

Mike

I hate too say it guys but tomorrow is supposed to be almost perfect for flying. Slightest chance for rain. Low winds etc..

Im a going to get my Extra out !

Had some air leaks on the Saito's intake so had to seal it up.

I was hitting 9500 rpms with a 14x6 Zinger
30% coolpower.
Im thinking the air leaks was making my peak kinda erratic and a smooth idle impossible!

Very nice plane. Is it a full build, or is he offering it any other way?
