YS DZ

[Clay Schmidt]

Troy,

Thank you for your reply.  All I can say is things have changed since I've flown pattern.  The last pattern plane I had was a T2A MKII and it was one of the best pattern planes I ever had.  So that gives you a idea how long I've been out of it.

Terry Brox let me fly his DZ powered Patriot and I have to say the power is addicting.  I guess I'm going to have to give his plane a close inspection when I see him again.

I'll tell Todd HI for you.  He is really pleased with his new Defiant.  I got to fly it last Sunday and I can say he should be competitive.  He is really excited to see how he does this year and rightfully so.  Other than a sensitive elevator the airplane flies extremely well and when he gets the elevator worked out it should be outstanding. He's going make up a kit for me and I'll be flying one also.

Thanks again,

Clay

  Clay,

  I can tell you what works for me...everybody has opinions...but here is what I do...

  1/8" aircraft ply firewall
  Hyde AR or AR (A) mount
  Central Hobbies Header-no brace
  Hatori 693 pipe

  another good exhaust setup is the CD Products available from Lamar Blair.

  If you need to use a Hyde ARI mount (nose ring incorporated mount) you need a much thicker firewall....like 1/4" aircraft ply...The Fuse mounted nose ring setup is much lighter in my mind.  

  The DZ can shake a little more at idle especially if it is rich....

  Terry Brox is out they with you guys...He is running a DZ I think..He can help you get it setup...If have problems email me offlist and I'll help out.....


  Personal Note: Say hey to Todd, how is his new plane flying?

    Hello Everyone,

    I've been away from pattern from sometime now and hopefully I can get started again next year.

    I sure could use some advise about motor mounts & exhaust systems for the YS DZ.  

    Also, as far as construction is concerned, is there anything that any of you would advise me about  the firewall area? In other words would it be much different than installing a 140L or a large two stroker?

    Thanks for your input,

    Clay Schmidt
