Sig Yak-18 RC Plane Restoration Part 2.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- C-19 is keeping us all inside more, the upshot being more time in the workshop! In this part 2 of the Sig Yak 18 restoration I'm basically done and I take you through some the processes I put the model through to get it there (cleaning the years of dirt off, restoring the covering, fixing the firewall, electronics installation, finish).
She's looking clean and healthy and ready for flight but that will have to wait until the restrictions are lifted, all clubs in Netherlands are closed until at least mid April, though I suspect it will be until June! And this is not the type of model you fly on your own over an isolated farmers field, she deserves a little more than that, so for the flight review, its just a waiting game I'm afraid.
Keep safe, keep calm and build, we'll all be flying soon enough.

Stay safe man. Sorry to hear your daughter got sick.
Awesome. Let me get the crisps and a drink. Then I can enjoy this.
Hi Stuart , great to see you back on UA-cam , really like your Yak and if i can offer some help in the cleaning department , Wonder wipes used in the building trade are great at removing dirt and grease . Hope this helps , all the best , Scott ................
Very nicely done!
I would be scared to death about those long motor stand offs twisting under torque from that beast of a motor. Wishing you and your family a speedy recovery.
I had some concern, but with the nuts and lock tight and split washer I have on them its rock solid in reality so shouldn't be an issue.
she is beautiful! great job Stu! hope you are doing alot better by now!
Digital Wolf RC might have to test fly it at your club soon 😉
Beautiful work stu u get well soon you & your daughter. Best wishes m8 from northern Ireland 😍
Looks brilliant Stuart, great job. Hope you and your family are recovering well. Take care all fellow RC pilots, we’ll be flying again soon 🙏
T Dog thank you for the good wishes.
What a beautiful plane, she cleaned up well, enjoying the updates, thanks for sharing progress, I look forward to seeing her in flight. Keep safe.
Skynyrd FPV hey, cool, glad you are enjoying the series,m. I’m looking forward to bring you the next model already.
Great video. Subscribed thank you
Nice work on the Yak Stuart. Tightening the covering works really well with the heat gun without damaging the paint work. Stay healthy :)
Bart83 hi Bart, yes actually this is my first heat gun, will never be without one now!
Just seen your yak it's nice and you did a great job.
Thanks, now sold to a pleasant chap in the UK that loved it too.
Hi Stuart, loved the balsa block trick, thanks for that ! I Learned a lot from this video.Hoping you and your daughter get better soon and stay safe. Best wishes
Hi Mick, that's great to hear. Actually I was just looking around the workshop for something suitable and this old block I had had for years finally came in useful. I'm keeping it safe now for use in the same application in the future, so I learnt something too ;)
Really enjoyed the video Stuart, it’s like RC SOS, find old planes and return them to their former glory. Keep up the good work. Wishing u and your family a speedy recovert👍🏻
Dan Cooper78 thank you, I’m enjoying them too, on to the next one soon I’m sure. Thanks for the good wishes.
Wishing you and family a speedy recovery Stuart. Looking forward to seeing you put your RCs into the air. Also I loved the vintage look of the Sig Yak.
Martin Bonnici thank you, I’m getting there, glad you like the Yaj
Hi Stuart, Sorry that we had to close the field in Abbenes. Looking forward to see your flight reviews
Hey, no problem, understand. I hope it can open again soon.
Glad to hear you are recovering safely. Scary stuff. A thought on the model, is it worth mentioning to be a bit careful re-shrinking wing covering as you can warp a wing easily?
Look after your self & family.
Looking good, will be interesting to see how it flies. Do those long motor standoffs get affected by the motor torque?
Hi, they should not do. I had my concerns initially, but with the nuts tight its really very sturdy now.
How will you secure the battery? I'm having issues with the WACO project in that I can't get my hands in there to move the straps.
#BlameAndré RC just good old Velcro, never let me down.
Wow! Looks great Stuart! When rebuilding the motor mount, did you have to build in any thrust angle and if so, is there a method to determine that? Just wondering...
Stay safe and hope you and your daughter feel better soon!

Hey Hey. I eyeballed the firewall to start with, seemed pretty neutral all round, then if I recall correctly saw from the plan that it was 0/0. But to be safe, I eyeballed a little down and right by adjusting the nuts on the standoffs a little. I'm certain it will be fine. It looks right, so it will most likely fly right ;)
some info. aerobatic variant yak-18p. at 12:12, never seen such a thing. the purpose is What. cheers googletranslate
this information is pulled directly from the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. do some factual research for once... this model is utilizing one singular split flap, as discussed in the paragraph below:
"Flaps are the most common high-lift devices used on aircraft. These surfaces, which are attached to the trailing edge of
the wing, increase both lift and induced drag for any given
AOA. Flaps allow a compromise between high cruising
speed and low landing speed because they may be extended
when needed and retracted into the wing’s structure when not
needed. There are four common types of flaps: plain, split,
slotted, and Fowler flaps.
The split flap is deflected from the lower surface of the airfoil and produces a slightly greater increase in lift than the plain flap. More drag is created because of the turbulent air pattern produced behind the airfoil. When fully extended, both plain and split flaps produce high drag with little additional lift. "
David Davids or did you mean the hole in the bottom of the fuselage?
@@stuartwarnerc 'or did i mean' WHAT. i meant the centrally located 'flappy' thing. i asked because 1) it is Not a logical place to put a flappy thing. 2) i was unable to find an answer to the question, elsewhere.
David Davids hi, it’s the first time I’ve had s model with a central flap, but it’s the same as the real plane. I should think it would work fine, it’s central and online directly with the prop blast. Will see on the test flight.
@@daviddavids2884 many aircraft have flaps in the center of the wing. This aircraft for example (yak 18) AT-6 Texan, SBD dauntless, Douglas DC-3, the list goes on. Also, I answered your question. Again do some research...
