Thanks for the comments guys, I love this plane so much. Right now I am working out a situation with the rudder, but all is well with it, flies great. Downlines are straight almost right away (had to trim the plane), having the issues with the rudder presented a problem with snaps but even still I believe I could pull off a good score with the snaps. Flat spins are nice, knife edge spins are nice, hovers and torque rolls are solid as a rock, you basically dont even have to think about doing them, the plane will pretty much do them for you. I want to add that this plane also stop on a dime 9 out of ten times, 9 because I can only stop 9 out of 10 times. I tell you guys, I know there has been an explosion of Yaks but this is really a great one. This plane on landing is great, I taped the first flight and when I watched it I was amazed at how slow this thing lands, it is unbelievable, I just love this plane.

O did I mention this was also my first 40%er. Now you can understand my excitement.
