Yak Attack!
Well she' not THAT new, I debuted her at the Shootout, but she got some new racing stripes. They break up the scheme and make it easier to see fine differences in yaw and roll, plus they kinda make my "woody" look more sporty.
It's actually got about 100 flights on it now and I'm really enjoying it. QQ Yak 120", with 86a's all around. Next time out I'll be running the new Fromeco Peerless Packs with the big wire and connectors. I'm excited to see if this makes a difference.

RE: Yak Attack!
I can say I was a little unsure about the stripes at first because they covered up that beautiful paintjob, but when I saw it in the air boy did she present well. I was sold.

RE: Yak Attack!
aerofun,
To answer your question, I have only flown the 100 and the 150 now. ST has a 50CC on the way, so we'll compare (that Man's appetite for airplanes is out of this world).
The two planes fly very similar, they need little mixing, have great power to weight and are FAST airframes.
The smaller plane is quicker and a bit more agile. The bigger plane is smoother and more precise. I can stop snaps a bit better with the bigger plane. The rudder on both is extrememly effective, but moreso on the smaller plane. Bottom line, I like the acceleration better on the smaller plane and so I enjoy it more for freestyle. The bigger plane is steadier in the air and I prefer it for precision.
Take care,
Joe

Hey thats a sweet plane there. But I see one problem.... No cirkus logos!! all you need is the little plane hovering with the swirley under it. Stick it to the rudder and call it airworthy!

It almost seems ridiculous to paint a composite plane like wood, but people really like the scheme in person.......
