Tha 3.0 Yak is A LOT taller and wider than Tony's 260 and same goes
with the W/H . The length is no problem as I dont use a spinner and
the fuse is a bit shorter than most .

I have to take the canopy off so I can shoe horn it in and the top of
the cowl will only clear the door if I lift the tail and pull it through .

The newer fords are a few mm bigger but If I can get away with
keeping the old bomb I'll just keep the thing until it explodes . Its
got more miles on the clock than you Wassa .

Don't want a brand war, but the 3m yak goes into a VY dunny door with prop spinner and canopy.

Hi David,
Thanks for the warm welcome, you're all very active over here which is good to see. At the moment I'm still getting my "wings" so to speak, have my bronze wings and a trainer, a profile electric Edge 540 and Miss Dragon on the way, it is my intention when I'm a little more experienced to get involved in the IMAC side of the hobby. Cheers mate.
Andrew
