Default Re: Kris' GP Yak-54 buld thread

Chris,

First off want to thank you for doing what you are about to do. I certainly agree that today we seem to set very high expectations for the guys who are about to start in IMAC and of course despite all our best efforts we all tend to drift towards the state of the art top end equipment. That you $pell as expensive by the way.

I agree fully with you that a $399 airframe properly done and trimmed can and will take you to the top of the sportsmans or intermediate levels as the competitions are normally fought hard and are very much based on pilot skills. And for those not reading between the lines here I mean those that practice and practice and when they get sick of it, go practice some more. It should not required $100 plus servos, 10 channel radios etc etc. You can install it all but will it fly better?????

Mate to me the airtronics setup, the mid range HiTEC, single packs for rx and ign is the way to go. Do not over power it as that will bring along a lot of other vices with it. Weight being one of them.

I really would like to see one of these built by the book but with intelligence, not the check book.

Then lets see how it flies. You just might save a whole heap of budding IMAC flyers a lot of coin and get them interested much earlier.

GitR Done mate.
