Best .90-1.20 Yak??
Hey guys,
I am looking for a plane to put an RCS 1.8 gasser in to get back into 3D flying with something other than my foamies. I think I have decided I want a Yak, and know of at least 3 with very good reputations. I know of the Extreme Flight Yak, the Aeroworks QB Yak, and the QuiQue Yak. Are there any other good ones I'm missing? If not, which of these three do most people think is the best? They are all very close to the same size and weight, and all about what I had in mind for the right size for the RCS 1.8 gasser to go in. I would love to hear anybody's opinions, but especially people with first hand experience with one or more of them to compare. Thanks in advance for any help/info you may have!

The Aeroworks is SUPERB. I have a OS 120 FS in it. This os more than enough power . The plane will hover without breaking a sweat. The quality of the ARF is the best I have ever seen . The hardware and fittings are excellent as well. The planes flight characteristics exceed my skill and expectation by a mile .
I will be happy to answer any questions anyone may have about this Aeroworks YAK.

RE: Best .90-1.20 Yak??
Has anybody built the aeroworks with a heavier engine in it? I see it has roughly one square foot less wing area than the extreme flight. I'm a little worried about the higher wing loading with a heavy gas engine in it compared to your 1.20 four stroke. I know performance wise I should go with a glow engine, but hate the mess, glow ignitors, starters, etc associated with them. I want to stick with gas. So far my vote is with the Extreme Flight just because of it's extra wing area... although I love the covering scheme on the Aeroworks.

I myself havent but I know alot of guys in the Aeroworks support forum are putting the evo 26 gasser in their 1.20 Yaks....if I was you I would check out the build thread if you havent already and as a few of those guys what their thoughts are. You can also always call Aeroworks and speak with them and see what they have to say aswell.
I tell you if you go with the Aeroworks one you wont be sorry![8D]

Extreme Flight 74 inch Yak would be a great airframe for that motor. I cant compare it to the others though. It is very stable at everything I have tried and I am at 12.5 pounds with the 46cc Brilleli on it.
