The plane flew well. Still needs a little more right thrust. Even running
very rich the 1.10 would pull the plane straight up with the "break-in"
APC 14 x 11. The engine has YS Engine Performance Specialties 90 degree
header and muffler. I use an Hatori black rubber diverter to keep the oil
away from the bottom of the fuselage. With this set-up you can keep everything
inside the cowl.</font></font></span><span

did two long flights and went home satisfied that the YS1.10 will be killer

comment on CG. I have had more e-mails on this subject than any other aspect
of the plane. The plane calls for 165 mm from the LE. I ran my 1.40 version
at 175 mm and it still carried a little up-trim. The latest plane was set
a 170 mm and now carries more up trim than the first one. I shall move
the CG back on both of them to see if it has any adverse affects and to
advise on what is a sensible rearward CG. </font></font></span><span

trimming tip. After you land you often find that you have beeped in a few
% of trim here and there. If you like keeping your main trims at zero%
you will most likely the electronic sub-trim or mechanical pushrod adjustment.
It is hard to reproduce the desired trim by eye or feel.</font></font></span><span

neat trick is to use two pins. Put one pin sticking straight out of the
TE of the aileron. Then position a second pin sticking out of the TE of
the wing. Line the pins up. Then take out the stick trim-setting and re-align
the control surface pins with the sub-trim or turnbuckle or whatever.</font></font></span><span
