Thanks guys! on this next vid I do a couple tricks[&:]

As for a spinner, I dont know what Im going to do yet, I kinda like the looks of it without one... but we will see....

Its very different feeling, that is for sure! Anyone out there with a 10X can be buddy boxed on it from me (gotta prove you can fly first)

Now that you have flown it, I was wondering if yours flys without mixing on knife edge and with virtually no inputs inverted or upright. I have a Shulman version with a RCS 215 radial and that seems to be the result. I am thinking of putting in a 210 ZDZ only cause at 5000 ft the radial is just a bit weak. I am curious if the extra power changes the flight characteristics.

LOL,
I'm waiting to get fired so I can work on airplanes all day and put together all the Parts I have HAD for several weeks now. Don't worry though - Snowballs chance that will ever happen - I'm not that lucky and shoot myself in the foot by working too much

Chris, I only did two knife edges, but as I remember it did not hardly need anything.. It was windy up there so I was correcting for the wind only as far as I could tell, inverted was just a breath on the stick, but with as adjustable as this thing is, Im sure you can make it fly any way you want with an allen wrench, I left everything in the stock positions and flew it. Flies amazing.
A radial in this would be awesome for scale!! I have seen one of those radials run, very impressive machine.. But, I can tell I wont need the extra power, the DA150 is plenty.


FYI, I just updated the review page on www.composite-arf-world.com of the yak, pics and the vids are there as well.

Thanks

Hey John,
Bring your Sukhoi to Puyallup in Feb so I can buy it. I figure you don't need it since your YAK is so huge. Very nice planes.

How amazing that is. The "little" Sukhoi looks like a 40 size.

wahooo! I can finally watch your vids at home, John. Windows Media 9 for OSX works perfectly.

Congrats on the plane, by the way.

Hey John,

Good job by the way! Did you fly her with the wings in the forward or rearwards position??

Rgds,
Mark
