Yak543D

Hello,

I made a maidian flight today of my 40% Aerotech YAK . Plane has a DA150 on cans with a 32x10 prop and Futaba gear. After flying it for 10 min I checked for any adverse roll & pitch mixing needed nothing yet. Only 3% of aileron to rudder mixing needed. No pitch coupling. Awesome so far. It is a very different plane from my Extra. More drag but very nice to be able to slow down more.

Snaps were nice and tight where I stopped them., Harriers were very stable with all that wing area.. Landing was a crawl. I was getting scared I would tip stall it that slow. Didnt happen. I will have photos when I return back. Only 5 flights so far. Being an overseas contarctor is a pain!!


This is another winner guys. I can wait to fly it more when I get back.


Thanks

David B.

What was the weight and how did the 150 pull the plane?

David how did the plane balance with the DA? John is building mine. Can't wait for some pictures. I'am headed for nall this weekend, so I may miss them.

Hello,

The 150 flew it very well. My Plane weighed 40lbs 6oz. Its a big plane so I dont expect the weight to be much less.

Thanks

Hello,

Balance was not too bad. I took my time placing everything first. Im about 1" behind the factory mark. My next Yak, Im going put a ZDZ 160 in it. I have one from last year that needs a home now. I can't wait to get more time on this plane. I think its the best plane Ive flown yet.

Thanks

David

Thanks

The Aerotech yak is a hard plane to get a finished mug shot of!! Looking forward to the pictures David.

Hello

The Velox was as well. But there is methods to all this madness. Having fun is the key. I never worry when I buy from them. They have great products, price, customer service etc. I think Aerotech, Carden and Extreme Flight have been the best smaller companys I have delt with to date.

Thanks

Dave

Oh Yeah!!

We need some photo's, for sure!!

I think it's a huge conspiracy.
There is no Aerotech Yak.
Everyone talks about it but no photos.

T.Bob,

From all your posts in here, you a hardcore Carden Supporter. Its funny how they have alot of planes, people buying them and photos showing up of them. Go blast somewhere else. I guess from the Website including, Futabas Veloxs are cleaning up. Give it a rest if you don't have anything positive to say. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_24...mpage_5/tm.htm

Later

Or to repeat what a great man said so long ago "lighten up Francis"

I am so misunderstood.
Oh well.

Yak543D

T. Bob,

Im very relaxed. But when comments are made like that, its sounds like a teenager. The companys out there of this size including Carden dont need this types of comments. If someone would have made this in a forum of a company your support, I know from your past posts in here you would have spoken up in defense/support. So I have this plane and only 5 flights and it so far has inpressed me as did my Carden Cap did a few years back. Im sure people want to hear and see better things than what you posted.

Thanks
David

Hello,

Can anyone comment on a Power Box. I may consider one for this plane.

Thanks

Yak543D

Hello,

I see the post I put in here responding to T.Bob has been pulled. If this is the case I believe his should be as well for starting an unnecessary comminment (again against this company because he supports another) with no substance. I don't think I broke any forum rules in responding. I ask the moderator to respond.

Thanks

David

This plane is turning into Yak-ness Monster or a Uniyak or a Yakalope or maybe even a Yakfoot.
Please some pictures
Please

T.Bob give it a break...I feel the same way about the lack of pictures. Remember its the flying qualities that sell the kit, by end of summer enough will be said to make a better determination. I like the 300.00 price difference over the Carden, Carden does have a good rep though. J-Tec is suppose to be coming out with a 40% sukhoi ARF this summer and hopefully a pak kit. That will be another one to consider as their 300l flies excellently.
So by mid summer I should hopefully have 3 manufactures to pic through and decide on weather a 40% Yak or 40%suki, I already have laniers to build so some of us are not in a hurry.

I just having some fun. Is the Sukhoi a 29?

DaveMiller

Hello,

I spoke to John today. He will be releasing the Sukhoi SU26 in two sizes and the SU29 in both sizes over the next 5 months. Should be a great amount of choices.

Thanks

The 26 and 29 are the best looking of the Sukhois
The 31 is just overdone.
The looks of a Goldberg 26 blowup to 35% - 40% would be a killer. (it's the bow gear that looks so cool)
