Great Planes Yak 55 3D FlightFlex EP ARF Part 1



Main Wing - Horizontal Stab

Got the main wing glued in. I used foam safe CA from BSI. And I got it here at LONE STAR MODELS on the recommendation of BSI as I could not find all their adhesives locally anymore. Had to put quite a bit of glue around fuse and wing. Both did not quite fit snug.

I measured the leading edge of wing on each side to verify that it was in the middle and did a rough nose measurement for squareness
Installing the horizontal stab went ok. I had to make sure per the instructions that it was square with the fuse. So I took a string and tied it around the engine stick mount and verified it was close. I then took a long ruler from a T-square and did a more accurate measurement. Seemed ok.

Did a quick pix nose on view to get somewhat an idea of finished product... Josef decided to make an appearance. Future builder and pilot.

  • That last picture is good - I thought it was more of a flat plane, but you can see in that picture that its more sturdy.
