Default VIDEO; Extreme Flight 88inch Yak 54

Hello guys, it was long way but im finally here, hucking my first serious gasser!!!

Here is video (50mb);
http://www.pauzuolis-rc.com/Videos/E...lightYAK54.wmv

And here is story;
I fly RC for more than 12 year, more than half of my life now , and since i saw 2002 toc videos, i knew i have to fly these big planes one day. And here this day come, naturally 88inch is not 35 ore 40 percent bird, but everything will come in time

Last year i join Extreme Flight (Freestyle-RC) team, and since then im flying EF planes, probably no need to talk here about quality and performance of EF planes. One thing i have to say im very happy to see this company grow and building bigger and better planes, because of this, i will be able to participate in some top freestyle competitions like WAG, EXFC!!!

Besides EF im very happy to use one more top company product, Desert Aircraft DA-50 work like switz clock, engine ussualy start from first ore second flip! Affter Extrafun/3W24i problems i had DA50 is like magic, specialy with ES composites pipe, affter brake in i feel it getting better.

Ok more about plane and equipment i use;
Plane; Extreme Flight 88Inch Yak 54 (red/white cs)
Engine; DA-50r./DA ignition
Powerbox; Emcotec Mini DSPI 6 / Flight power EVO LITE v2 1600mah 2s packs x 2
Emcotec DSPI ignition switch Micro RCS / Flight Power Evo lite V2 2100mah.
Tunned pipe; ES composites ES50G. (only 115g!!!)
Fueling system, Jersey modeller RHP-R 2.5gal
Radio; JR9V2
Servos; Hitec 5955 all around except thrt/ with long SWB servo arms.
Prop; Xoar 23x8 , going to change to Vess.

Plane;
I think only EF planes are much bigger than it should be for engine size, 88inch yak is not exception, simply HUGE fuselage, remind 35 percent Yak more than 50cc....
One even better thing than size feeling is flying characterystics, man it is nothing else than a big shockflyer, i was surprised how close Yak fly to my indoor AM planes!!!

There is MANY good building threads on net for this wonderfull plane, so i will not go in to small details, only little latter i will share few pictures; way from box to air and small madifications i made.









And last but not least i would like to say big thank you for people, that help me dream come true!
