So far we can provide you with the following:

15 -16 pds
Ultracote covering
Pre-mounted canopy with access hatch to install pilot and instrument dash
Full set of hardware

RE: Oh my God another Yak
I HATE YAKS
Really, I can't stand to look at another one.
Just to clarify, I don't hate yaks. I just can't stand to look at another one. The only Yak I can look at and not have my eye's grossed out is QQ's yak's. At least they look like a yak. After Carden came out with their yak I couldn't tell the difference between that and an Extra with a round cowl and a large canopy.[:@]

RE: Oh my God another Yak
you are right about the kits, their kits are great, but their arfs leave a lot to be desired. Got to admit the 37% extra has got to be one of the best flying extras ever.

RE: Oh my God another Yak
Hi. I stopped by and saw Rocko a few weeks back and he seems to have a good plan for the future of Aeroworks. He has some new lazercut ARF's coming out which really look great. He is very concerned about weight which is a problem with many ARF's. He also told me they will offer them in kit form which is what I'm into. I'm looking foward to some nice lazer cut giants to build. He also had some awsome looking balsa electrics that will be out soon. Jim

Bring the 37% back. It is a very, very good flying model. The absolute best I have flown.

RE: Oh my God another Yak
Thank goodness none of the Yak 54's look completely scale...I think they are pretty ugly. The EF Yak is a great balance...it looks the most like a real Yak but still looks good. I've never seen the full scale Yak 55 but I will say the model of the 55 sure has grown on me...

Hey Ryans Rebel
What's wrong with the 39% Areoworks Extra.

Im sure the experts will disagree but the ones I have built seem to hold true to this thought. If anyone has a 37% Aeroworks Extra kit for sale I want it..Walt

I just saw the CHP 34% extra, which is essentially an aeroworks kit, and was impressed with what you get for $795, but it comes with some pretty heavy hardware and accessories. I could see easily losing 2 pounds from this plane while still using cannisters, or almost 4 pounds by dropping them as well...

I think the Chip Hyde Extra is a copy of the CA Models kit.

Who knows, these days! Hyde's website warns of copycat models of his plane, and aeroworks sells these, so I assume they are built by their builder. I looked at the pic of the 34%er on Troy's site - they are close but not quite the same, from what I can see.

The Extreme Aircraft (RC Superstore) and Plnes Plus 34% Extras all have identical dimensions, down to the wing area. They all have provisions for cannisters, and they include the same nice control horns. Knowing how China operates they could be selling Chips' planes out the back door, or another manufacturer is making an exact copy.
Who knows? Only the Shadow knows...

The ones from Extreme Aircraft also come with the same hardware and are selling for $499. Hard to beat that! cbk

CBK, that is amazing! Suddenly the 34% planes are about the same price, or possibly cheaper, than a 50cc plane. Way to tempt us, RCSuperstore. The difference in cost is a couple of hundred bucks worth of servos and a bigger engine. $499 is less than the Extremeflight Yak so that should offset the cost a bit. Of course the bigger plane will fly better (bigger truly is better).
