I would like to have one or two get togethers before the event to go over details and also on Sunday August 3rd I will be having a meeting at the field with all that are working the event to do a complete walk thru. We will go over each task and how we want the event to run. Please let me know so I can get my list going.
Thank You
Brad S Werneth

First off, Tony Tan of Pilot RC (yes the Pilot aircraft company) has recently chosen me to be the Service Representative for this area. With this, I have discussed our event with him, and he has donated 6 coupons for the event for prize's. These coupons are for a large discount on a package deal on 6 (six) new Pilot brand Digital High Torque Servo's and 3 (three) prop covers in small, medium and large.
New Pilot Servo's information can be found here:
http://www.pilot-rc.com/OtherProductshow.aspx?id=19
Prop cover information can be found here:
http://www.pilot-rc.com/OtherProductshow.aspx?id=15
The total cost is $349.00, a savings of $172.00!
I will need to get together with Mike W. for more details on how to receive and issue out the coupons at the event!
Thanks for all the work guys!

I recently nabbed an old YS 60 short stroke from Dad that had barely been broke in, and sat in a box since something like 1987
and it got me motivated to finish the Kaos up.The nose was built around a slight smaller engine, and was too tight for the YS, so I just cut the nose off. I have a mold started to create a fiberglass cowling for it later, but I wanted to get the thing finished up and flying first to see if its worthy of the extra work.
I fitted the Rudder and elevator servo's back mid way in the tail, remade all the push rods and replaced all control horns, removed the center aileron servo and linkage and installed a servo on each aileron to give a better precision and mixing ability for later.
The YS is the original 60 short stroke motor from early 80's, with a Hatori 650 tuned pipe (fairly certain its a 650) also from the same erra. Fitted with an 11x11 APC prop, the motor screams. Throttle response is as rapid as the thumbs will allow, its a pretty impressive little motor!
I only was able to get two take off's and immediate landings, since the header pipe coupler kept popping off right after take off.. but it took off pretty straight right off the board, I think 2 clicks of aileron was all needed. I will hunt down some more header pipe coupler material, and try again later this week.

the chamber "caps" are typically called "welch" plugs. The rebuild kit I referenced has replacements.
walbro supplies two tools that you can use to remove/replace welch plugs and they look like this:
55-walbro tools.jpg
you use the sharp edged tool to "dig" into the caps and pry them out and the flat tool is used to compress the new plugs.
I haven't found that the sharp edged tool works very well and not at all on the brass plug you see. I got them out by drilling a hole in the center and then using a screwdriver to pry them out. HOWEVER.............this puts drill chips in the chamber and maybe in the ports and more importantly if the drill goes THROUGH the cap it will have already damaged the carb body. There is practically no clearance between the two
so thats why I recommended that if you've cleaned the stuff you can get to easily and it still doesn't work correctly, you'll invest far less time to just replace it, they are not expensive.
